I think you could replace MH Perylene Maroon with Buff Titanium. You could mix the maroon colour with with either Venetian or scarlet with berry. Also you could replace Jackson Med Yellow with either a Yellow Ochre or a yellowy Raw Sienna. If you mix Phthalo Blue Red Shade and Dark Umber you may get a nice dark grey.

I live right near Sedona and paint there often. I'd personally drop the mid yellow and replace it with Transparent Yellow Oxide. That's a good color for desert floor. Buff Titanium would be nice but not sure what you'd drop for it.

With two yellows and two blues you don’t need the green. I would add buff titanium.

Hey there, I'm in Phoenix and take trips to Sedona often. I was in Sedona and Flagstaff yesteday actually. Here is what you need: Like you mentioned, you need buff titanium to mix with the reds to give them a more solid, brick look. A darker green, a lot of the shrubbery there is very dark green. I would remove the violets. Yes, you should pull a yellow out, Sedona is not very yellow. Honestly I think you may just have way too many colros here for Sedona, haha.

Where Do you live?? (Cause of the sirenes in the background hihi 😅 New York? 😂😂)

Beautiful mixes! I think I'd replace med yellow with buff titanium since you can mix the gold and lt cad. Maybe swap cerulean for a rich, granulating ultramarine violet for sky, clouds, shadows? I'm curious what mixes you'd get if you replaced venetian with potters pink.... might make a neat subtle contrast for the rocks and also add interest to sand and the browns. Looking forward to seeing your final choices, such a beautiful landscape to work with!

Beautiful palette and timely with the Jackson's watercolors as they are on sale this week at Jackson's! Yeah, I agree to replace the Medium Yellow with something for sand like the buff titanium or if you have schmincke Desert Brown or Desert Yellow?

Kremer Catologians Unite!

I would say a buff titanium to mute some of the colors especially for the gradients in the red rocks. I would also say a violet of some sort for flowers and the sky if you decide to do some sunset paintings :)

I was swatching mixes of my Sennelier paints, and discovered perylen brown & brown pink make a nice deep rust. Permanent alizarin crimson deep & brown pink makes a lighter rust shade, maybe a sand colour for that location? Also I heard somewhere that Jackson’s paints are manufactured by Sennelier. (I Could be wrong) Brown Pink, is the colour I’d suggest for your palette, replacing a yellow. Since it’s a greenish yellow.

No to Payne’s grey. But yes to buff titanium. But if it were me I’d get some of the Daniel Smith primateks that granulate so beautifully. They enhance the rock and make it look real. I love lunar earth and lunar red rock too. But I would look closely at the landscape and what you’re painting and get colors that will match. Piemontite, hematite genuine, burnt tigers eye genuine are some of my favorites! The colors you have are beautiful but not necessarily like rocks. Too bright.

Oxide purple is in fact caput mortuum

I like more pink tone. A Gallo and Kremen are my fav. I already own Winsor Newton’s Potters pink and I don’t like it. It comes so much darker unless you’re very careful with diluting

My absoluut favor is Schmincke ! And then Windsor and Newton 🤩

Do you know the granulating set's product code?

Deep deep light paints are for people with deep deep pockets. $$$$$

They look like kids paints don’t they ?😆

My favourite colour is French Vermilion it becomes a beautiful pinky coral. I am not an orange fan but I love a coral. I would like to add to my small collection of Sennelier watercolour paints. I want some unique colors which they seem to have. I have many watercolour paint brands which have the same colours. I do not like Phthalo colors and I am looking for different colors to replace them in my palette. What do you suggest as the top-loved Sennelier paints to have in your palette. I like to paint flowers, fruit etc.

if you're still answering questions on this i would love to know why you didn't get quin gold. was it cuz you felt it was too similar to another color you have or just not like it. thanks for sharing.

The colors are really beautiful & vibrant❣️❣️

Those are gorgeous! Can’t wait till they’re available in Canada

These are beautiful, I'm so grateful for the style of swatches you do, very helpful. I know is hard to find them right now and I can tell some people are getting frustrated to find them ,but I just want to remind people that they are just an art supply, be patient and eventually we will be able to get them .meanwhile just enjoy and be grateful we can at least see swatches :)

These are truly beautiful, I put all links in the description on where I found them.

Have spent a considerable amount of time trying to track down the granulating Holbein watercolors and the empty Holbein palette you just reviewed. These items are nowhere to be found. The 24 Holbein watercolor set available is not a granulating set. Your viewers run the risk of buying a non granulating set of 24 paints. Please consider providing specific links to products found on non US websites. It is really frustrating to spend time viewing a video featuring products that cannot be found. Please provide necessary details so your viewers do not waste time searching for unavailable items, or risking buying items that are not ones featured in your video.

Oh, I would not get rid of that Canasias earth color. I think it’s absolutely beautiful! I guess we all have different tastes and different opinions. 😁

I think I’ll try Della Magna instead 😬

I don’t think I’d buy all of them but I don’t mind the streakiness because some of these pigments make sludgy paint anyway (especially PG23)

I love A. Gallo and the prodigal sons one. I wish it wasn’t toxic because it’s so beautiful.

Tabitha - good luck with your move to Arizona! I am in green, rainy England so I dream about deserts - especially Arizona! I hope you are inspired by the new horizons in your paintings - love to see what you make!

Oh, beautiful painting! 🥰 I love Meeden's porcelain palettes. I have that large colour wheel palette (as seen in my avatar ☺), but when I bought it, they weren't yet selling lids. I wish they could be purchased separately. Thanks for the video!

I want that Schminke one so bad 🤤 and yes, I would put that in my palette. I don’t make art for people so it doesn’t matter.🧟‍♂️

Nice, imma try this.😮

Which Manganese is your pick?

Great collection!

MaimeriBlu gets my vote! : )

I don’t think they should have released most of these paints. Which is a shame because I’ve been longing for some vegan paints from schmincke. I ignored the videos showing the streakiness due to my art supply obsession but I wish I hadn’t. I used several different of the best quality cotton papers and even diluted them right down to almost no pigment and still the gummy streakiness. The binder also dries at a different rate to the water so you get patches of dry paint then clumps of darker paint that takes ages to dry. I would only recommend buying these if you want a very pretty box and you want your artwork to have a faux-naive look to the finished texture. Two yellows are okay (of the two sets) and the blue is alright and a matte brown colour. The rest are honestly some of the worst paints I’ve ever used and I have a lot lot of paints. I find it hard to let go of art supplies I don’t use much (the PH Martin’s watercolours for example) but I’m considering selling these and losing most my money. In context the only other paints I ever gave away were cotman, and cotman are mostly better than these. Green earth is always a very pale pigment and often gummy but this one just dries so badly and clumps and you can’t get a nice fine wash with it. Wet in wet the paint doesn’t budge an inch.

i actually enjoyed hearing the g babies in the background ❤ thanks for swatching these grand beauties! I’m in love with indigo colors & lapis lazuli has me sold.

Prodigal Son periodically sells half and full pans of hard to find/extinct watercolors and pigment powders. I bought P049, PR102 (I think it’s called purple ochre ‘PO Pr’ is written on the half pan), and PB80 from there. PS also sells PB33 pigment powder. I have Da Vinci’s manganese blue mix (PB33 and PB15). Sometimes I feel like buying PS’s PB33 pigment so that I can mix it with the Da Vinci watercolor to increase the quantity of PB33. Though I’m not sure if I’ll ever do it!

Wow I love your videos, such a great way to tell the difference between paints. Vermillion is my favorite color so being able to see how these all looks is great!

I'D GET PY138...QUIN LEMON YELLOW

Moving is so draining and moving out of state or cross country is even more so. I have done it and it is exhausting and expensive. I did the same thing as you - I evaluated every item I owned and asked if it was worth it to move. I got rid of so much stuff and the only regret I had was getting rid of our treadmill. We also moved to a much hotter climate and it was quite the adjustment for the first summer. I think your palette needs a good middle to warm yellow. Thank you for the video. That Lapis Lazuli is stunning!

I would add a pink because I love doing flowers in the summer time! Love and light to you

All the blues are gorgeous! And vermilion is so beautiful! For my personal taste I would've added a purple 😊 good luck with finding a new home 🌺

I decided last month to give myself a gift so I got a 48 set of A Gallo! I love them and I am so spoiled, I did get my set from Jackson’s Art then I added to it I have a set of 58 and I use them daily. Yes they were very expensive but wonderful paints. They layer beautiful! Also I did my palette like you showed so I have them all in one palette. Love and light to you!

I have DellaMagna and Gallo watercolors and I like them, but I don't know if their price is justified, perhaps if you are a collector it does. As for Wallace Seymour, I would like to know how you managed to get them, I would really want to buy this manganese blue. Thank you very much.

I also own some Della Magna and together with A. Gallo and Deep Deep Light they are my favourites. Though they are expensive they are all worth their money in my opinion. They are hand-made and very special. I think you can have so much joy with pretty colours, so compared to other things it‘s always worth it! But I admit I‘m really obsessed with colours… Good luck with your new situation!

Thank you for showing these off! I have a few of the Della Magna myself, they are so fun. The Magnetite is one of the most interesting paints I've ever worked with.

These are all lovely colors, especially the lapis and manganese blue. The granulation of the manganese really shines on cold press paper. FYI - when you say Della Magna, think lasagna and you will have it right. I hope you survive Arizona in the summer! It is indeed a dry heat, but like a blast furnace🔥 The upside is that now you will never have mold in your paint😂

I mean, I get not wanting binder separation, it's inconvenient, but that has nothing to do with the quality of the paint. Larger pigmen particle size, or even fine pigmen size that are just denser and therefore heavier by volume will settle . There's literally nothing that can be done for that. Except use cheap dyes instead of pigments or make the tubes to order, the former I do not want, and the latter would make the prices exorbitant.

Disturbances in paint surfaces when it is a handmade paint like little holes or cracks, have nothing to do with the quality or however, paint will work even the professional line of watercolours like Daniel Smith have cars that will do this over time. If you rub your hand on the dried out water colour, and it comes up on your hand like dusty chalk then you have an issue because there is not enough finder.
