- Hello sweet friends! Today I'll be sharing with you some of my most used colours of 2022! I tried my best to include colours from all major colour categories but left out my beloved earth/muted colours as I'd have to make a very long video indeed if I wanted to include them all. Perhaps I'll swatch them in another video if you'd like to see them :)
I purchased most of the materials used in the video from Jackson's Art Materials link here: www.jacksonsart.com/?___store...
...and two of the colours I bought here on the Zecchi site: zecchi.it/products.php?catego...
.................
I also listed below where to find the individual colours on the Jackson's site, thought that if you are interested in any of the colours, it will save you some time looking :)

I would love to see your favorite muted colors!!
I don't have any Really Nice Colors, I'm making do with a Sakura travel set and a really old kid's Crayola palette, but my favorite color this year has been a kind of dull lavender I get when I mix cobalt blue and crimson lake just right. adding a bit of white and a LOT of water makes it so good for fog or a night sky.
That sounds like an excellent mix, I love muted lavender colours! 😊❤️
my top 3 of 2022: Scarlet Red (PR254, A.Gallo); Dark Ochre (PY43, Roman Szmal); and Manganese Blue Mix (Da Vinci, PB33/PB15); Runners up: Mineral Violet (PB29/PV19, Roman Szmal); Cobalt Sea Blue (PB28, Roman Szmal); Da Vinci Yellow (Da Vinci, PY154); Helio Turquoise (PB16, Schmincke); and Quinacridone Chestnut (PR206, A. Gallo)
Thank you so much for sharing! In 2023 I do hope to try Roman Szmal and A.Gallo colours, your choices will help me choose what to pick first! 😊❤️
Love your choices. I also love DS quin coral and quin burnt scarlet. And the permanent brown (PBr25). But moomglow contains a fugitive red pigment. (I think it’s PR177). Best to mix your own, and it’s easy. Just one example: DS imperial purple plus a good granulating viridian (pg18). I use M.Graham’s. Cheers!
Thanks for the tips!! I haven't tried any M.Graham watercolors yet, but have heard really good things about them!❤️☺️
Absolutely love the palette you created. My eyes wanted to eat up that Quin Burnt Scarlet and that Ultramarine Deep! My favorite colours this year were probably Cerulean Blue PB35 (gorgeous granulation), Nickel Azo Yellow (adds glow to EVERYTHING), and Lunar Blue (great alternative to black and acts as a perfect shadow colour). All of these were Daniel Smith; definitely fell hard for that brand this year.
I love Lunar Blue too!! And just looked up Nickel Azo Yellow and it's going straight into my wish list! Thank you so much for sharing! 😊❤
I love your palette! If it were curated I would buy it as is. I am with you on Quin Coral! One of my favs! Winsor and Newton and D.S. Are my top choices for brands and the occasional handmade watercolor. Yes, and Moonglow! Love it.
I enjoyed the video and hope you are doing well. My favorites include:
Daniel Smith: Quin Coral, Quin Rose, Quin Gold, Pyrrol Scarlet and New Gamboge to make Orange, Opera Pink, Cerulean Blue, Sap Green, Moonglow, Sleeping Beauty Turquoise Genuine.
Sennelier: Payne's Grey & Raw Sepia
Da Vinci: Brown Madder (Quin.)
QoR: High Chroma Palette (Set of 6)
Thank you so much for sharing! Some lovely sounding colours in your list😊 I especially love the sound of the Sleeping Beauty Turquoise genuine! ❤️
💖
❤️🎨❤️
I have to say the DS Quin. Burnt Scarlet is just stunning! I've been looking for just that color. It reminds me of my birth stone, the garnet. I love that deep, dark red! I've added it to my list!
I have way too many favorites to list, so I'll spare you the boredom. 😆❤️
Haha, colours, no matter how many are never ever boring! 😊❤️
wow the perylene crimson !! ❤ i love how you swatch with a more diluted version too, i need to start doing that
Thank you Annabella ❤️The Perylene Crimson, is gorgeous! 😍
that def is a pretty orange, will have to see if i can get a small tube to sample 🙂
Like your swatches. Please consider adding an abbreviation of each brand per color, to make tracking easier. Thank you.
Hi Lily! I’m new to watercolors and I’m absorbing all the information that I can from your channel and artists knowledge. Thank you so much for sharing your favorites. I don’t know enough about color theory yet to have favorites but I must say I really enjoy your choices. If you have the time I would love to see how you use your pallet to create secondary colors or your favorite mixes. I would be so interested. Thank you for sharing and have a Happy New Year! Keep up the amazing job!💕
Hello! Thank you so much for the great suggestion, I'll add color mixing as a subject on my video ideas list for sure! Happy New Year to you too!! 😊
I was a newbie not long ago (2018). DO NOT get lost in the color geekiness. You need six colors to start. A cool yellow, red, and blue; and a warm yellow, red, and blue. Choose 100% cotton paper, 300gsm minimum; and a few decent round brushes (4, 6, 10). Find a color wheel ANYWHERE on the internet and start mixing and playing: small strokes, big strokes; more water; less water. Watch the magic happen as you play. I wish I started this way.
@@ericakauffman5786 you are absolutely right. But it’s nice to have some more colors :) it’s fun to see how different they behave (izo yellow for example).
Thank you, Lily! I really enjoy swatching videos and yours are so relaxing. I love Daniel Smith colors and have a carefully curated personal palette of them. I've been loving green gold, Aussie red gold, and a new one I added this year by DS, gray titanium. Happy New Year! Looking forward to your videos in 2023. 🥰🍾🥂
Thank you so much for sharing Bonnie - the gray titanium especially sounds very interesting! 😊Have a wonderful, healthy and creative New Year!! 😊🙌❤️
Lovely palette. I really like Cobalt Turquoise and Quinacridone Burnt Scarlet next to each other! 😍A few of my favourites from this year, the entire Super Granulating Schmincke Shire Colours set, especially Shire Green. There's a set of three and a full set of five.💚💚💚😊
Thanks for sharing!! I haven't tried any of the Shire colours, but have heard so many good things about them, will have to add them to my wish list for sure! Happy New Year!!😊❤️
Really love this palette! Thank you for sharing. I need to go back and find your video on that other line of paints because I'm in love with that Hooker's Green! Happy New Year!
Happy New Year too Jill! Thank you for being here and I am so happy you liked the palette choices!❤️😊
Thank you for sharing your colors 2022. I received some water colors for Xmas. So I'm about to dive into the watercolor world. I love Hookers Green, Cobalt Blue and my favorite brown Burnt Sienna.
Thank you and thank you fo sharing your favourites (I love cobalt blue too :)). Watercolors are such a magical medium, I hope you will have so much fun exploring and experimenting with them! 😊❤
Thank 😊 you for sharing! I also have a few Holbein watercolors that melt on paper... Marine Blue, Peacock Blue... love Da Vinci Red, PR254... Winsor Red is similar... Da Vinci Seaglass... Happy New Year! A California Gramma ♥️
So lovely! ❤️ Thank you for sharing all those wonderful colours with us! 🙌😊
I don’t have any preferences really because I waffle every day, lol. I wear myself out! Anyway, I do love the color values that you have chosen here. Love the turquoise and red that you pointed out. Yummy
Thank you! ❤️ 😊Happy New Year!! xoxo
Beautiful colors 🤍🤍🥹
Thank you 🤗
Hello, I love your video and your palette, already ordered few of the colors I saw here😊. My favorite colors are from A.Gallo, Pietra Rosa, Copper Blue, Harbor Blue, Morellone and Indigo❤
Thank you so much 🥰 those colours sound magical! 😍
Thank you!!!
You're very welcome! ❤️
Thank you so much for sharing your colour pallette very new to watercolour and not sure about what is to choose but I love the quo scarlet and hooker's green. Don't know much about colour mixing. When you get a moment may be a video on beginners to get the colours may help. Thank you so much. Have great start and lovely New year filled with good health and creativity
I would love to share some of my favourite colour mixes in future videos, I do hope you find the content here informative and enjoyable ❤️Have a wonderful New Year! 😊🙌
@@lilymoonart thank you ❤️
My top 3 convenient colors for 2022 are Tundra Violet, Volcano Brown and Forest Green by Schmincke. My top 3 single pigment colors are Cobalt Blue Deep (Roman Szmal), Nickel Azo Yellow and Rhodonite Genuine (both Daniel Smith)
Thank you so much for sharing Janina, more lovely colours to add to my wish list! 😊🙌
Lily, Quin Burnt Scarlet took me away. My Lapis Lasuli from A. Gallo is quite transparent and like a baby-blue but can be layered. I'll do that. From my 'collection' my three favorites for 2022 are all from A. Gallo (only new paint purchased): Hematite PR 102; Indigo NB 1; Morellone PR 101. However ... M. Graham, Prussian Blue PB 27; W&N perm Rose PV 19; Sennelier Primary Yellow PY 153; Sennelier Red PR 254 are staples. Sennelier dominates my pallets. Health and happiness in the new year to you!
Thank you so much for sharing Erica! Must try A. Gallo in the coming year, they seem to have some lovely colours! Wishing you a very happy and healthy 2023! ❤️
My favorite colors of 2022 have been Quin. Burnt Orange (PO48), Perylene Maroon (PR179), and Perylene Green (PBK31). They have been present in every painting I’ve done because they are the base colors of my original character’s skin tone and hair color 😊
Ohhh, a lovely triad of colours! ❤️❤️❤️
I loved your video!! You brought some particular colors to my attention that weren’t on my radar! Three colors I used this year were : 1. Case for Making Carmine Naccarat, it does have some fluorescent pigment in it, but I like it anyway for sketchbook work. 2. A. Gallo Yin Min blue, 3. A. Gallo copper blue.
I'm so glad you found the video informative! ❤️Yin Min Blue by A.Gallo is on my dream wish list!! 🙌❤️
@@lilymoonart My sister bought me that single color for my birthday! What a sweet surprise!!
@@nancysharp3933 A trul;y wonderful Birthday gift!!! 😊🙌
I was mesmerized by the first four colors in you palette and had to give them a try. Looking forward to getting them!
@@nancysharp3933 I really hope you enjoy them, they are lovely colours! ❤🙌🙌
I don’t need more paints, but these are amazing…also, Michael Harding cerulean blue is my favorite blue that I have…and I have a ton of them, including yinmin blue…
I really what to try some more Michael Harding colours, I'll add their Cerulean blue to my wish list, thank you for sharing! 😊❤️
a studio in the mountains sounds so cosy!! would love to see a studio tour
also do you like the arches HP? i’ve only ever tried the CP but curious because I like smoother paper for ink linework
I used to really love Fabriano Artistico HP paper, but they changed it and it didn't work quite as well. I switched to Arches HP which I do love, especially when using my Sakura Micron pens with watercolours, it's really consistent and reliable 😊🙌...however I am always on the lookout for more good HP 100% cotton papers, haha 👀
@@lilymoonart ooh that sounds good thank you!! I'm going to try it next year - I have a block of fabriano HP but it's so awful!! makes everything so chalky & muddy, I wasn't sure if it was just a bad batch
@@softandcosy I've read that many people have had bad experiences with the Fabriano Hp in recent years, which is so unfortunate as it used to be the best HP paper around. I actually found on Jackson's a new Fabriano Artistico HP, that has a big stamp saying 'enhanced quality' and I couldn't resist and bought one to try out...praying they brought back their old formula! Will be testing on video, when it arrives hopefully! 😊😊
Lily do you sell your color swatching sheets? I love the vintage parchment look of the pages you use to swatch ❤
I don't, I am so sorry :( Maybe one day I'll add them to my store xoxox
What was the Hooker’s Green brand?
Hi! The brand is called Zecchi and you can find them here: zecchi.it/products.php?category=24 ❤️
@@lilymoonart Thank you!
Brand of ultramarine is missing. Please add.
Hi Julie, the Ultramarine brand is Zecchi, you can find the link to the colour in the description box. 😊
She clearly says Zecchi on the video.
Hello Lily, did you print out the grid or did you draw it beforehand ? I've had quin. coral on my mind all year, but also on a no buy to use what I have already. I'll have to indulge myself in the New Year.
Hi, I drew the grid beforehand 😊 Quin coral is a lovely colour, I am sure you will enjoy it if you decide to purchase it! Have a wonderful and creative New Year! ❤️😊
Way too many commercials!
@@yellowsunnybear375 Hi, thanks for the feedback! At the moment CZcams places all ads, and as I am really new to how all this works I haven't figured out if I can adjust them, but will look into it, when I have figured this all! Happy New Year!
