I came here looking for Daniel Smith perylene maroon, for it's blood-like appearance (I know, so macabre), so what a treat to see all of these different swatches! Still loving the DS, but ooohhhh that Isaro is niiiiiice. Thank you!

I miss you soooooo much. Sending you all the very best x

After watching this video a couple months ago, I found a round 12 egg Italian platter and last week found another one from France. Press and Seal cellophane works great for multiple times. $10 bucks at the thrift store ceramic works great. My set up is a warm/cool for the primaries adding the ochre, sienna, umber, and conveniences. I don't know what to put in the new egg tray yet! lol

I have the SWC 32 15ml set and I decided to add Perm. Magenta PV19 for mixing. DaVinci uses PV19 for Alizarin Crimson. Which warm Red would be best for the split primary in your opinion? Too many choices.

These 2 videos were useful to me. I'm sorry you don't seem to be posting this last year. I kept hearing that veridian was great for mixing green, but nothing i did came out like the mixes i saw others do. I have the Van Gogh pans. I looked up the color numbers on their website and wondered why the Veridian and phthalo green had the exact same number, PG7. I wonder if there is any difference between them? Anyway, thank you, and I hope the reason you stopped posting is all good news.

Very cool ideas! Thanks for sharing. The magic eraser is the one I'm dying to try.

for me lunar earth and lunar black worked quite well

i wanted to support you on patreon but when i go to the link you listed above it says the page has been removed. what is your patreon link please

i wonder if in general you could say a particular brand works best. in my test daniel smith is very disappointing re salt reactivity. holbein and winsor newton are better

yes!!! lets do a mini series and get super nerdy!!!😂😂😂

The tube of SAA Manganese Violet I'd been using for years was running out and having recently moved to France I had to find another brand to replace it. After watching Elisabetta's video on PV16, I bought the Blockx Manganese Violet. So far I don't like it at all. Maybe it's a bad tube but it doesn't look anything like either your swatch on this video or Elisabetta's. It seems very patchy. Anyway, I won't give up on it yet. I will try it with different papers and see if that makes a difference. Thank you for your great videos, Oto!

I have an Epson 16600 EcoTank (A3+) and also an Epson 3880 A2). Both work great and are 100% waterproof.

Dr Kano! I have used your brilliant website for researching colors-but now get a warning that it has been taken over to possibly steal personal information! Noooo!! I see nothing new from you, and find nothing about “where you’ve gone”. Hope you’re well-and hope there’s a way to still access your site. You’re a treasure!!

Hi, Is the site gone now?

Hi ! Is it possible to replicate Holbein colors only with their primary colors ? Because the colors pigments are really specific so I don’t know if it is possible .

Hi Oto! Do you know if I can use regular watercolor paper to print my art works at home? Or do I have to get the ones specifically called "fine art"?

Hello from New Jersey, USA. Thank you for your detailed work! I am unable to find your detailed Data Base. Can you please send me a link? Thank you.

My fav is a toughy, I love cadmium yellows from years of oil painting, so that's #1, but Hansa deep is a VERY close 2nd. Then the Hansa Lt, & Azo have equal billing for choice #3... Basically 4 out of five I would buy if I could.

Will the database be available again?

Thank you for such an in-depth comparison. Since they are so similar in every way, I'll stick to the one I was first introduced to and became the most familiar with. Your explanation made so much sense. 😊

I cant believe people cheat and print out the paper with the outline before painting. I draw the thing and then paint on the thing.

right now i don't have this colour. i have sodalite, jadeite, and the two turquoises from the Primatek line. but i want this colour because it's a light, cool earth. there aren't very many light, cool earths. i personally love the colour.

Thank you very much. Your explanations are very interesting and useful

Very useful, thank you

I love using rubber band brushes to paint foliage. Not my original idea. I saw it on RUclips but can't remember the title or artist. Just cut the rubber bands, bundle them together and bind them at one end. Such fun.

Thanks for taking the time to do this. It's very helpful!

I bought a masking fluid pen Molotow brand on line. I covered the area that I wanted to preserve. After working on my painting and happy with the results, to my horror the blue of the masking fluid would not come off. I did use the eraser you recomend. Sadly for me I had to discard the painting.

Has your website been shutdown or moved? I find it very useful

THANKIS DR. OTO, I find your reviews so intuitive and engaging. It's great how your knowledge helps us all and how you anticipate the questions we need answered before we can ask them.

Thank you❤️

Perylene green all the way. Perfect for landscapes and shadows.

I have a Mission Gold Green Gold single pigment py150 and it’s a very transparent vibrant golden yellow. ( Hence, for a greenish version, I plan to pick up W&N PY129 to supplement my collection). Now I have learnt to research straight up pigment number rather than by name… then I get to see which brands truly have the single pigment hues I need. Thanks to folks like you who spend hours doing these comparisons, I learned very quickly, even as a beginner in watercolor ( but total pigment and color theory nerd)

Thank you very much, it helped me alot to choose colours. Could you please be so kind to do a video on the new colours (2024)

Very interesting to see all the side by side information. I have a Sennelier Payne's Grey and would have replaced it with Daniel Smith as DS is a good price in my area. The low tinting strength of the DS concerns me a bit so I'm leaning toward the WN as a cooler grey that also doesn't have the low tinting strength and rewetting issues. So great to make choices armed with so much knowledge. Many thanks!

Thanks for the video! This helps solve part of what I want to do: print in graphite on watercolor paper! My thought is what if you want to come up with your sketch digitally? You could do that and still have a graphite sketch on the paper. Or you could come up with a sketch idea and scan it so if you want to try various versions you don't have to redraw it! Now I know there are graphite cartridges for printers, I just don't know if they have them for ink jet printers

Why no more videos?? 😢 I LOVE them, they are genious ❤

Winsor and Newton sugest a split primary palette of ... Winsor lemon Winsor Yellow Scarlet Lake Permanent Rose Winsor Blue Green Shade French Ultra Marine. However, to my eyes, the two yellows are next to each other in their chromatography range - too similar. I swap winsor yellow for winsor yellow deep.

so helpful, thank you!

so helpful, thank you!

I believe there is a little bit of questionability that has been raised recently around the lightfastness of PY3, and PY175 is confidently light-fast, so that is one advantage. On her blog, Kim Crick explained some of the issues QOR found with PY3 light-fast testing, and that PY175 is the best light-fast alternative

Quin rose is still the ONLY Daniel Smith colour I own, and every time i use it, I think of you. Honestly, most of what I know about my pigments is all thanks to you! Thank you for being such a wonderful teacher. I don't think I would paint the same if I never found your videos!

Fun fact: Holbein's 5ml tube sets are really economical in India, a country with crazy import and customs duty. A 24 tube set costs $60/- where a Daniel Smith set would cost around $150+ Because of this price difference, I initially thought that Holbein is a student quality paint. Only later that I learnt that it's actually pricier than DS in US and some people still prefer it...

What is the purpose of the gauze? Mimicking rough paper? Tx,

That is such a beautiful palette! It contains so many favourite colors of mine <3

Oh you are such a nice person! Would love to read/see/hear more of your passions or thoughts, whatever they are at the moment!

Hey Oto, I just found your channel very recently and would be really happy to see more of your content! Hope you are well and thriving!

I just stumbled upon your channel very recently, it is so awesome and helpful for me as a beginner! However, since today I can't open your website anymore. 😢 I hope, it is just temporary? I would love to explore that more!

Thank you for great review and demo....as always.

Hello. May I please ask where you got those swatching pages?
