The titanium white (101) from White Nights it's a buff titanium?

So glad to see this review andthanks for the beautiful cherries. I appreciate that you always paint something inaddition to swatching. I am so tempted that retro palette! But I already have some of the colours. I would totallybuy it if they sold it empty. You know those cute Schmincken bijoux tins are made by FOME in Italy? I wonder if you can find them as empty palettes over there. I loved the yellow -its like a bit of sunshine on paper. The cochineal is nice, but cannot justify getting it. I already have a halfpan of genuine cochineal by Wallaceand Seymour, but it looks much paler and soft. It's part of their historical collection. I got some Malachite from them too. I wonder what makes them so different?😮;thanks Elisabetta (and @momarte for sending you the tin)

Can you please swatch all the winsor and newton colours with PR179? If the permanent alizarin crimson new formula is very similar to perylene maroon which was also PR179, I think I will change to fugitive alizarin crimson rather than have two similar colours. Personally I found this video quite confusing you referring so often to perylene maroon even though you were swatching permanent alizarin crimson. Sorry!

💙😍 l'acquerello finale col tuo biondo .. adoro!!!

Ohhh... que hermosa ilustración, los tonos naranjas son fabulosos. me ha encantado..🤗🤗🤗

these look so good, what a gorgeous palette 😊😊

Great video, Elisabetta. 😊 I haven't tried them, but there is a nice variety of decent pigments, and they paint out beautifully. Your sunset is stunning. I know you will hate leaving your babies behind. TFS and enjoy your vacation. 😍

I use Phthalo Blue green shade for my botanical paintings. Mixed with yellows, it gives lovely greens. Mixed with permanent rose, the purple-ish colors look natural for flowers.

I’m so glad CZcams recommended your channel to me. I love watching color swatches and learning about pigment

As the proud new owner of a full tube of DS Buff Titanium, I found this very validating that I've chosen well. Thanks for doing this process for all to see!

I have this palette too! It remains my favorite! It just seems to be the best collaboration of colors for any painting and I just love Daniel Smith paints! I, too, adore the quinacradones! I enjoyed this video very much! Thank you.

sooo I bought cocineal and fra angelico blue.. they are works of art and so afraid to use them lol

I really prefer PR101 burnt siennas. I started with a PR 101 and never looked back 😄

I just found your channel. Thank you so much!

I use raw umbers (Winsor newton, White Nights, Daler Rowney Artists) in mixes with bright reds, greens and blues to get colours like "Vintage Style". Therefore raw umbers are very useful.❤

wow! that is such a wonderful limited set! didnt expec the paints to feel THIS vintage - i was kind of afraid it would be the usual starter set of paints but just with an extra naples yellow or something. but i actually would love to paint with this set i think. thanks for the great video! :)

I absolutely love pthalo turquoise. I also love aqua green by Winsor and Newton which is also a pthalo pigment, but does not have a color assigned. Do you have this one?? Thanks for the video ❤

I never thought to use that kind of lighter skin tone colour on a sunset. It worked beautifully. I need to think outside the box more with colours.

are you using the 25% cotton fabriano spiral pad?

these are so good, I love phthalos ☺☺

Hi Elisabetta. Been off CZcams for awhile but caught your video and enjoyed seeing your Phthalo colors. Phthalo blue is such a highly staining color but it is a good mixer. Ciao !

I am very interested in the pthalo experience, thank you very much 😊

Not a fan of Phthalo Green blue shade except with quinacridone magenta it makes great violets. The PB 17 Peacock Blue was a favorite but I understand the pigment is discontinued.

I really want them all❤ Is it easy to rewet and full of pigment?

I love the phthalo colours and I can’t wait for all the comparisons 💙💚

I phtalo tanta luminosita e potenzialita. Bellissimo paesaggio

I love the pthalo colors! Thanks for the reminder to use them more. ❤

I would love to see a mixing video. I almost didn’t put pthalo on my new palette because I don’t reach for it. But I think it’s just me since everyone raves about them. I don’t tend to paint tropical though.

I would love to see your mixing with phthalo pigments and anything more about the comparisons😊

By the way, have you got a recommendation for an art supply store in Turin? I‘m going to stay there for some days and love to visit the art supplies and maybe buy some special products…

I love the luminous Phthalos blues! Thank you for deep diving - I‘ve got some of them from A. Gallo and some from Roman Szmal and think they are beautiful but not very popular because many people say they are too dominant. I love your summer beach picture and also can’t wait for some nicer weather here in the South of Germany… 🎨❤☀️

Believe it or not, I was wondering & thought you must be very busy. You've been missed. Now, if you can convince me to appreciate Phthalo colors....that would be great! I have a little aversion to them from oil painting days. xoxo

Yay!!!

Hi Beautiful~ Cool book! I hope that you will be making a book with your Hostage portraits

I am fortunate to have two tubes of PO49, WN and DS. I found Della Magna and ordered from them, and as you saw, it’s just a treasure. You can occasionally find PO49, but not easily.

Their raw sienna looks green to me

I think you should try swatching with a much smaller brush and less water. I notice colors look a lot weaker when using a big soft brush and more dark and concentrated when you use a small brush (especially if it’s synthetic)

I have this set too I love it! They are finishing up a 60% off sale so I’ve stocked up on way too much 😄

Thanks for this! I have the WN mix and was kind of sorry I bought it. It’s living in only one of my oodles of curated palettes. I’ve been using it on its own in landscapes. But these mixes and how it knocks the color back, as Charlotte deWinton might say, is wonderful! This will be perfect for underpainting the whole landscape, a technique I’m just beginning to experiment with more.

I dare say the Holbein oxide just looked like oxide. Totally overpowered the pg 23 what’s the point

Yes I have a sennelier palette and it’s the silkiest lay down of color. No contest 😊

I agree about black. There are some fun uses in watercolor 😊

Thank you for the video. Beautiful colors. I am trying to choose between MaimeriBlu and Rosa Galery. Do you have any preference? I never tried them.

I rewatched this a couple of times, as I am still putting together a 6 colour palette to add to my starter set. I really enjoyed seeing the pigments behave on the paper. I am considering the burnt umber and mineral violet. Which si gle pigment cold red would you recommend? Right now i have vermilion hue and crimson lake, but i need something colder. Have you swatched Quin red or Quin magenta?

Happy Birthday ! What a thoughtful and beautiful gift- really enjoyed this! ❤

Love Sarah! Thanks so much for your review.

I love your videos! Thank you! ❤

❤ great video. I love seeing them all together like that. I always keep cobalt blue on my palette. It’s great for portraits - when you might not want the granulation of pb29. I LOVE pb74! I have winsor and Newton. If you get the opportunity- Daniel smith pb36 is reallllly nice.

I use prussian blue on my palette (I don’t get on with phthalos) and my favorites are sennelier, Rembrandt, and winsor and Newton. I always keep schmincke’s on my portrait palettes because it’s even lighter and easier to control- so it’s a must have for me, but definitely different from the others. I enjoyed seeing Antwerp blue painted out- it has similar qualities to the schmincke. I may have to try that one out next- schmincke has gotten really expensive lately. I feel the same way about PG7 being too overwhelming- I use sennelier’s mix with viridian and mix in more viridian to soften it out more and add more subtle granulation.

Ciao Elizabetta 😊 TFS her lovely book and putting your special touch on this succulent painting. Your son and husband both have wonderful gifting skills. 🎁 I also enjoyed the cameo appearance of one of your happy dogs. The tail always gives away their mood, and its obvious you are very loved by this furry one. 🥰 I hope you are having a wonderful summer. ☀️
