Hello everyone 👋🏼. The stronger versions of PG23 seem to be good for some varieties of palms (but not all). Some palm trees have a very pale green colour which I think the paleness and and low tinting strength of PG23 is good for (I have not actually tried it).

I love this color! Thanks for sharing!

This looks like a pretty good muted green for landscape artists. Not so much if you like doing vibrant illustration however.

Isn't this similar to the faience recipe?

I kept waiting for you to tell us you were Luke’s father…..

Oh my God! You still remember that song?!!

Awesome info and beautiful to watch. TY

I thought verdigris would be more green. Your version looks very cerulean, at least on my screen.

Ive always wondered is there was different tint strengths pg23 based off of the region it was mined from

Beautiful shade of green! I love all of the PG23 paints.

Thank you Laurens, this seems to be a pigment that some people like, some don't. Personally I like this muted green.

First like

😱😂

Can you make a more in-depth video about just your toxic pigments and go through each of them? Also, do you have London Purple?

Mummy brown, art imitating life. Most household dust is primarily made of dead skin cells, and after writing that I started sneezing, and the smell is likely the flowers and herbs they stuffed inside the bodies during mummification.

It’d be so cool if you made a watercolor paint with real metallic gold powder. That’d be such a interesting thing to see is you get a 1 gram gold bar and process it into powder; or one gram of gold powder and turn it into a powder

Hi Dirty, congratulations for the videos, could you tell me which brand of oil paints has the best Naples Yellow, the most opaque ones?

I do find it still available in American Journey Passionate Purple and in several of the DaVinci watercolors

I think schminke can replicate this color, and you won't know the difference.

What a wonderful watercolour! Thank you for making this video.My homemade lapis was not as bright as yours, and now I understand why

I prefer tubes as it’s easier to get a large pigment load. I’ve been using M. Graham tubes & Beam Paints tubes. I have a lot of pans which are more convenient to take along and I like to have them for fun colours and to play around with/experiment more. It’s also easier to support local/handmade by purchasing pans. But I find it frustrating trying to get a lot of pigment out of a pan to mix up my hues before I paint. Love your channel! Thank you so much.

I like it for the sparkel i never assumed it was 100 % amythist

They never said its 100 %

🤦🏽‍♀️

😢😖

I like pans more, i try to make my own foraged pigments, but a lot of times they are too "dry" i think i have to work on my binder more. Love this channel :)

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Ver Die Gris 😂 This was kind of creepy.

Wow. It was like being back in Art school for a whole thirteen minutes and forty five seconds.

Ugh. I truly hope not.

I have been waiting for this and it also has a colored usb cable and xlr

My preferences are handmade paints in half pans or pans. That fits best for me 🙂 Thank you for the video and the explanation 🙂

Can you make paint with cerium sulfide orange po78?

I like using artist grade paints for expensive pigments (cadmiums etc) and student grade for cheap and powerful pigments (PB15, PG7, iron oxides)

to fill out the synthesis description a little, it's 2-(2,5-Dichlorophenylthio)acetic acid and chlorosulfonic acid in hot anhydrous concentrated sulfuric acid. Someone dropped the full description in one of the databases and the truncated description got propagated from there. Sorry to rain on the parade of anyone hoping vinegar and sulfuric acid would work.

Always appreciate the handmade paints. While the quality is usually better, for me its the labour of love that makes me appreciate it more. Someone who spends their time and sweat making this stuff is going to want to make a good product. As for pans or tubes...I like to paint mainly in oils so there's your answer I guess!

I’m used to using pans since they are very convenient and on the go. However tubes allow for me to cover bigger areas with bigger brushes so for certain colors I have tubes. I am very interested in your process and how you check for quality in a paint. If you ever have a course about making your own handmade pigment I would definitely take it. I also love that you include pigment information. Some watercolorist that make handmade pigments don’t and it’s frustrating. One of my favorite handmade watercolor makers disappeared and I m left with a gorgeous purple that they made with no way to recreate it and every purple that I get does not match it.

Hmm, Cerium Sulfide.

I usually prefer tubes for the ease of access but I own a variety of both!

Arg... I don't know how I missed this. Oh well. Thanks Laurens.

👍👍👍

Manganese mud…so would you call it Dirty Manganese? 😆

This video is an excellent analysis and comparison of the colors! Also, that graph of the YlnTiCo Red is really interesting to see all of the different colors it reflects from the different metals in it. Also, I love bold Potter’s Pink; this color reminds me of the Wallace Seymour version (PR233 but very dark compared to most brands) except this PR275 color more of a rose tone. It is a beautiful pigment. Also, that single pigment granulating PR101 looks like it contains red and black iron oxides (except 101 is synthetic so that’s confusing, unless it’s a 101:1 inorganic hematite). 🤔 And, when you wiped all that beautiful pigment away from the milling glass with a rag, my heart jumped a bit, lol. Could you use a rubber scraper to deposit the leftover pigments on the glass into a half pan, for use in a sketchbook? I want to start mixing paints for experiments at home, but I have anxiety about wasting any pigments. 😅
