- G'day Friends!
So I get asked a lot about my favorite DS watercolors, or what's in my palette, or what I'd recommend buying - and because I was re-housing some new half pans I thought I'd use the opportunity to make a long and indulgent chatty video about the topic! haha
Enjoy!

Came for the DS, stayed for your personality and gorgeous laugh
‘Aurora chilling with her Daniel smith watercolours’ 😂😂😂😂😂😂 oh my goodness, that absolutely made my night!!!
A dangerously enabling video ;) But looking at your gorgeous palette, I feel like you need to get Schmincke's Brilliant red purple, brilliant purple (or Holbein's Bright Rose) and maybe Winsor & Newton's Cobalt Violet (it's similar to Wisteria but less opaque). Also for an insanely vibrant ref violet- Shinhan Pass Red Violet is crazy. I think you'd really love those. OK, off to buy some DS ;)
My first transition was to Windsor and Newton which I love, but I’ve just discovered Daniel Smith and I can’t believe how fantastic they are! I’m totally still a beginner but investing in the better quality definitely makes me enjoy the process more 🤓
OMG! Why have I only just found u??!! This is the first video I’ve watched of urs & I’m not even finished it & im subscribing to u! U have a brilliant sense of humour & a brilliant personality! I love how u laugh at urself & other things like the names of colours, & ur comments crack me up! I love it! I’m happily going to binge-watch ur videos now! Im an Aussie too, although I’d love to visit USA some day. Keep up the fantastic videos!!! 😀👍🏆 🇦🇺❤️
That is good advice to get the sheets with the dot samples, I did that and I am super glad I did! Not all the colors come in half pans, so I also put the tube paints into half pans. Kyanite Genuine is my favorite color ✨💙 Never heard of Bohemian Earth Green I wonder if they changed the name to Rare Green Earth 🤷🏼♀️
I watched this video at the beginning of the year when I had no DAniel Smith colours, I would just like to tell you that I now have 32 of these colours, all your fault, haha, thank you for this video, I watched it again today, and I still love it. Also just want to say, that none of the colours I have been unhappy with :)
That video was SO funny ! I laughed so much that I woke my baby daughter up ! Thank you for the swatches, I dream of these watercolor and this will help in choosing the colors I want to get some day !
Amazonite comes from Brazil and Sleeping Beauty comes from the Sleeping Beauty Mountains, Arizona. Careful on that sleeping beauty though, that's not lightfast according to other people's test.
Also, you're right. It's better to just buy the more unique colors from DS. You can get the typical pigments from other artist grade watercolors at a much cheaper price (even schminke and sennelier are much cheaper than DS) with almost the same quality (probably) .
OMG this is so beautiful to watch !! Like your freely and happy talking :)
I'm so much enjoying your presention! I was thinking: "What a funny, amiable, maybe a little crazy fun person James is." Then you mention being an Aussie living in California and seeing yourself as a cat person, and I: "Figures!" 😄👍
Tip: use a spray bottle before to wake up the paint. Good video!
Awesome informative video !! Love listening to you laugh while you play. Also glad to know I'm not the only one battling the occasional cat hair in my paint !! Lol !!
Ugh, also Garnet looks amazing. Btw, Undersea Green is a great mixing color. Also, I love Cascade Green too.
What a fun (funny) person you are! I could sit and chuckle with you all day ~ you are hilarious in a subtle way. What a fabulous palette you have created! Daniel Smith is The Best! You just can’t find the beautiful primatek paints, the duo chromes, iridescents, and interference paints anywhere else. I have a lot of the same ones you do and love them all!
I actually started out with Daniel Smith paint and then bought a large set of schmincke shortly after for my birthday. I do have a set of student grade paint my daughter bought for me. I keep it for my grandkids to use. 😁😁 I subscribed to your channel and now I’m going to check out some of your other videos. Thank you for a delightful video this morning!
Thank you for summary of differences and showing the colors. I have some Daniel Smith and now have added some more to my wishlist. I appreciate your suggestion about getting a pan first - makes sense! Take care and Stay Positive!!
I love your commentary. The thought of oils also overwhelms me lol.
I have just ordered Daniel Smith paints. I am looking forward to using them, and this video is very helpful. Thank you
Completely yummy colors! Great swatches! I want all of them! :D
I remembered watching this some time ago purely by your wonderful laughter!
I love this chatty video. Thank you for sharing your colors with us. Confession time: I bought the Daniel Smith PO49 because lots of youtubers were in a panic over it being discont. and so I grabbed a tube, but I had no idea how to use this color!! I was so new to watercolor. It remains the only D.S. watercolor I own. I use St. Petersburg White Nights. 36 full pans for $45. Also Schmincke Horadam.
I just bought the duochrome oceanic - you’re right - perfect mermaids tail color!!
So thankful I saw this. So many of these I have had on my wishlist for so long but couldn't find decent swatches. I have moonglow and green apatite genuine. That green I use in EVERY painting with foliage lol. Its natural and beautiful. Havent used quin coral much. I want Kyanite, Aussie Red Gold. Doctrine Oceanic, Duo Cactus Flower and Shadow Violet. Such beautiful granulation and love the dual tones in them.
Thank you so much for this video! Lots of info and added some colors to my shopping list!
I just switched over to Daniel Smith from student grade watercolors. I only have warm and cool primaries but I love them so much. I've been wondering which other colors to add to my collection. I think I need to get the dot cards now!
I am so happy that I went with Daniel Smith Watercolors I still have a few other cheaper brands as well as I grow my Daniel Smith collection but I live joe they flow and the colors are beautiful and making mixes with them are amazing as well
Loved this video! I did what you said, got all the DS colours I could! I'm at +100 tubes now, but still need some shimmers and iridecents! Never enought! :D
Great review!!!!!Can't good wrong with any of them little by little!!! Thx James
Thanks for the video, will definitely have go pick up Wisteria, Lavender, and Rose Madder permanent.
Love these colours....
Fuchsite is one of my new favorite colors. I got it about a month ago and it's subtle but so pretty. Just ordered the Cascade Green. I'm slowly building my palette. I REALLY want kyanite genuine but it's definitely one of the pricier 15ml tubes and I already have Moonglow which is 💜💙. I want so many more of these colors! I love your idea of swapping half pans but honestly, good watercolor tubes last a LONG TIME if they are used consistently. I'm talking YEARS. I know that from personal experience only but I figure that's the best teacher, right? 😉 And I think you could get Deep Velvet Plum from Garnet and Purpirite, maybe? Although I think the Napthamide Maroon looks a lot like that flower's shade... Or maybe the N Maroon with just a bit of the Purpurite mixed in?
As always, loved the video!
😍
What an awesome and informative video! I was lucky enough to win one of Ali's recent giveaways and love my Designs by MB pallet! I bought a DS dot card to play with and seeing the swatches and hearing your thoughts on colors helped me start a wish list. Oh and I think if burgundy and forest green..or Boho😂..wasn't on dresses in the 90's it was in decor! Tfs!
Love this video, James. Daniel Smith just feels like luxury when using. Before I switched to D.S. I was using Winsor & Newton Cotman. Anyways keep up the great work! ;)
I went straight to artist's grade, but I'd used a friend's Micador palette (Big W version of Artist's Loft, basically) and it was love. I got Courtney's portable rainbow from Katt's Korner when I got my tax refund one year and the rest they say is history. I do now have some student grade colours filling some colour gaps in my palette and they're nice, but I can definitely tell the difference. I advise everyone I know that they should buy the highest quality they can afford because the paints will behave properly and it will be easier to learn. I usually recommend 5ml tubes or Katt's Korner if they're a bit strapped.
My Daniel Smith oranges are quin burnt orange and perinone orange. I mix the burnt orange to get some amazing browns, and perinone is like a true Halloween orange.
I love some of these colors that I don’t have. That Duo Autumn Mystery and Duo Oceanic as well as Fuchisite
I started with the Mijello Mission Gold set and from there when straight to Winsor & Newton and Daniel Smith. I have the split primary set and Moonglow from Daniel Smith. I'm using W&N browns but am going to swap them out for some single pigment ones from Daniel Smith because I just don't like how they mix
I recently bought Perelyne Maroon which I think you would like considering a purply garnet.
I have a list that I'm slowly working on acquiring.
I find the Mission Gold paints are well priced but stay sticky and never really dry. So for a beginner they were almost too easy to re wet.
You should buy some Nuvo Embellishment Mousse. I love mixing the platinum one with my watercolour and I really want to try the mother of pearl one.
Phthalo meaning: Definition of phthalocyanine. : a bright greenish-blue crystalline compound C32H18N8; also : any of several metal derivatives that are brilliant fast blue to green dyes or pigments.
Awesome 👏
Great video. The colours are gorgeous. I would love to find a face book group for people who like to swop Watercolours. I have large tubes of Vandyck brown and Phtalo green (bs) if you’re interested in trying those.
Gorgeous colours! Fuchite is phonetically pronounced like you were thinking but didn't want to say. ;) The prissy Queen Victoria wasn't amused and demanded an alternative pronunciation which you used.
I'm with you 100% that beginners would benefit from the artist grade quality, but it's actually the paper that matters most. Buy student grade watercolours and cotton paper and proceed to artist grade colours after you've fallen in love with watercolour, would be my advice to beginners. Thanks James, wonderful video as can be expected from you! :)
yep..paper is the mot expensive here in watercolour world!!!
You need to put a strip of black permanent marker across the swatch for the duochromes to see what they look like on black. I'm amazed (possibly easily amazed)!
You turned me on to Moonglow and now I have about 14 tubes of DM. I will never go back to cheap chalky watercolors. I really don't like DM Lunar Earth. It's similar to bronze, but without the shimmer.
My tip to rehydrate a color: put a drop of water in the half pan, then go back to it after a minute.
Would share what program you use to make your print-out swatch cards, please!!! Thank you!
Oh and I was lucky to have had a friend who shared lots of DS pain with me! Such an amazing change from Cotman😁
Iridescent scarab red is available on Amazon. If they sell out let me know and I will send you some of mine.
As a beginner, I have been hesitant to spend the $ on high end watercolors, but I'm thinking I should start building a collection little by little. I lucked into a clearance sale at HL on Koi tubes and purchased a set of 10 for $8! (Regular $32) Good enough to start with and try to learn some techniques, but very limited color choices. I'm trying to learn mixing, but am having a bit of trouble with purples. I think I just need to purchase some of these awesome colors in DS and just be done with it! This video makes me want them even more! Those colors & shimmers are divine! .... off to take apart the couch to (hopefully) find some spare change!!! ;)
Purple is easiest to mix with hot pink (like Quinacridone Red, Carmine etc.) and warm blue like Ultramarine.
How did you make the swatch card James, I really need one this size for my palette!
It looks perfect.. would you mind sharing the template by any chance, please?
You may have already done this but you can squeeze an extra half pan into each row so you can fit 52 into a 48 palette 🤗
Thank you for the tip. I have moved out of this palette as my regular palette now and my new one is PACKED wall to wall hahaha :)
James your laugh gives me joy :) Thank you for the video
Someone should develop a plastic pan that fits in the middle space of some of these tins! how many times I've tried squishing a couple more in the palette. ha. Thanks for your video. Do you use Mars Yellow as your main yellow then?
Did you use a printer to label the swatch card? If yes, may I know what paper you used? Laser?
I really think the better quality of art supplies, the better the experience of creating. I adore my DS M.Graham Schmenkie an WN professional. I purchased some inexpensive watercolors recently because there was sooooo much hype around the beautiful teal color tin. I really wanted to love them but student grade just does not compare - period. I find no value in them so I gave them to my 6 year old. That’s where they will at least get some use.
I also enjoy my Senellier they have a buttery smoothness the other brands don’t.
Hey, thanks say name again James much kindness to you.
Beautiful paints there James. And yes some of those paint names are so “extra”. Lol - you did better than I would. PHTHALO? Pu-HALO? 🤷🏾♀️ Umm..that green right there. 😆
the ph is an f so its f-th-alo from what another you tuber said (the spin doctor) he is super knowledgable about the pigments and colour names :-) x
Kelly Dunigan ooooh !! Ok thank you 😊
What music do you have playing in the background? I like it.
Just saw where you got it at the bottom of the notes.
You have to google the pronunciation of those 'challenging' colours - I did and it was hilarious!! So you'll either learn something or have a good laugh ;-) The DS colours and quality are awesome and yes, one day ... one day *sigh* ...
Yes you almost had it 18:29. It's phonetically "few-shyte".
Autumn Mystery is the name is the raw pigment
For the Iridescent Scarab Red look on DickBlick.com they have it listed for $10-11.... they have if I saw correctly ALL of them
Not sure if you’ve come across it yet, but DickBlick has Iridescent Scarab Red for less than 11bucks.. for 15ml.
I just learned the rule today..So if a color is a single pigment then it is named whatever the original creator named it and if the color has multiple pigments in it then the chemist gets to name it whatever he/she wants to name it. The Sleeping Beauty DS pigment is actually named after where the pigment came from which is frm the Sleeping Beauty Mine located in Arizona :) I thought all of that was really interesting :)
hi James I would like to know how much these paints cost,I live in Zimbabwe and we cannot find these beautiful paints,J Zieve
Go to the Italian Artist Shop in Rondebosch Cape Town the do online sales. I am not sure whilst lockdown in place to another country though.
Hello James, I came across your video browsing for Daniel Smith colors. I really enjoyed watching and listening to you,love your sense of humor. I realize this video is 2 years old, I hope you will still get the comment. I am really a beginner,although I’ve been using watercolor markers to color fir a while,but nit actual watercolors. And can’t draw,but pretty good at coloring. I love playing with the colors, even just swatching them. I bought a set of 12 limited edition DS, nice colors. I had room for 12 more,so I found on Etsy at a reasonable price half pans (not the one you recommend). I really love the collection you have,all of them are colors that I like. In the 24 I got I have some of the colors you have, and I would like to get more of the other colors you have. But it’s hard to afford it. I also got 36 Roman Szmal colors ( if you heard of him) from Jackson’s in UK, very nice artist grade,many kind of similar with DS,very affordable. If you are not familiar worth checking out. And 12 of Jackson’s own colors,also very nice and inexpensive. But I would like more DS especially the Primatek. I also love the 2 handmade colors you mention the Copper Candles by Rachel Beth and Manhattan(also by Rachel Beth).i dud check her store on Etsy but seems she doesn’t have anything right now? I sent her a message,wait for reply. But you mentioned som that sometimes you can be “gifted” some if these paints. I never heard if such thing,how does that work? Maybe you have to be an artist on CZcams? Anyway I hope you get this and hope to hear back from you. Again I love your collection, I write them all down, maybe one day I can get more if those colors. I hope you are well and safe☺️
I'm pretty sure he has been gifted most paints by his many artistic friends. I often swap DS half pans with my fellow art friends. One tube of paint gives a lot of half pans.
@@MetteFernSpirit Yes well he said that, and that how they help each other, but I can't even get a response from him, I wanted to ask about a color I can't find. I messaged him on Instagram, sent him an email but I can't get a reply. Of course I'm just a stranger not his artistic friend. How lucky some are to get paints gifted, i spent a fortune. But again I'm just a stranger, who cares, can't even get someone to reply. I never understood that. They say so nice things in their videos, but you leave a comment and most of the time you get no response. It's rude. But it's ok. I won't bother anyone again
@@judithf9297 Remember that he gets a lot of messages and comments, and it will take some time to read and reply to everyone.
Hi Judith, I found your latest comment left on my most recent video and came to search for your question you mentioned you left here. First of all, I am sorry for the delayed response to your question. Unfortunately I receive a lot of correspondence each day and I cannot manage to reply to everyone straight away, sometimes if at all. You have mentioned you are new to my channel (Welcome, we have a lot of fun here!) so I would just like to state what I have stated in the past - that I do my best to respond to comments when I can, the best way to urgently contact me is through email and hopefully someone in the comments will help you out with an answer if I can't get back to you. I see another commenter has helped you with an answer to your question and, again, I'm sorry if you felt led to believe I would answer all questions, immediately.
To extend upon the answer given: yes, I have been gifted many art supplies from friends and subscribers who share their excess or gift them to me if they believe I will enjoy them. Some have stated it is a "Thank You" gift for the free content I provide on CZcams, Instagram and Teachable, others have wanted to know if I could work with the supplies in videos so they can get better use out of them, and sometimes brands will offer to send them for review/ paid promotion (I have so far declined paid promotions, but have voluntarily reviewed items I've been gifted or purchased with my own money if I feel like doing so). You don't have to be an artist on CZcams or even have a social media following to participate in shares/swaps on Facebook groups and forums. You simply post and state what you would like to swap for and see if anyone is interested. If you would like companies to give you products, theres is an assumption they will be receiving equal value in your promoting the product, so you would most likely need to have a group of followers on a social media platform you could market the product to in a review.
I hope that answers your question. My advice would be to join an art journaling community group on Facebook where people are sharing swaps/trades posts and just see what opportunities are there.
If I may offer some personal advice - please don't let my delayed response deter you from asking questions to Creators. I can understand why you have concluded that we are rude, but I hope you can also appreciate that it takes a lot of time and effort to create and share this content for free, as well as engage with our communities on CZcams, Instagram, Facebook and the like. Your one question may not seem like a lot in this comment thread, but with over 300 videos on this channel, and many others like yourself asking questions on a video I almost don't remember making at this point, it can be incredibly time consuming to tackle every single comment. I try my best and do not promise engagement with all posts, however I can accept that this might not be good enough for you and the expectations you have set. I hope a touch of perspective on this issue might allow you to approach other Creators on this platform with a little more grace, if not for any other reason than I would hate for you to isolate from this wonderful community.
Sincerely,
James.
@@JamesBurkeCreative James, I just read your message /comment, I di apologize I don't want to come across simply as a demanding person and expecting more than it's reasonable. The truth is I contacted you on Instagram too and emailed you and although I do understand that you must get hundreds of comments and can't respond to all of them, it so happens that I rarely get a reply from anybody, it's just how it happens to me. I'm surprised that now you answered after this other person made a comment, but please understand I don't expect charity from anybody. No, I did not receive an answer to my question, I guess I have to figure it out myself. Yes I asked you how does the swap /gifting works but more importantly I asked about that Designer on Etsy Rachel Beth I believe, who makes those handmade paints, I guess she doesn't have any products right now because there are no listings and I messaged her more than a week ago, but haven't heard back. And also there were a couple of DS colors you had in your palette that I can't seem to find on the DS color chart, like Candy Cane Red and another, I forgot. Maybe they took them out of their present color lineup. Mainly I wanted to ask a few things because you sounded so easy going and it's very hard to find DS half pan paints, it's mostly the tubes. But I will figure out things, I'm sorry about how this turn out, I am not a confrontational person, I guess I got a little frustrated, feeling kind of an outsider, because as I said I leave nice comments to many people and sometimes questions, but almost never get a response. I apologize again and be well and safe!
Where can I get those swatch cards? TY
The 238 Daniel Smith dot color chart can be found on Amazon :) Here's my affiliate link to the one I own: amzn.to/3hLWg2i
James, go to www.scrapbookingmadesimple.com for a wide selection of Daniel Smith watercolors in tubes. They have a store located in Santa Clarita, CA. In this video, you mentioned you were looking for an iridescent color (luminescent?) but I missed the color you were looking for. I hope this information can help you. Good luck. Love your videos.
Tip: listen to Daniel Smith on Thu evenings before doing a video.
Helpful video, but the background noise is a strong distraction.
I still say burgundy and I'm only 20
ok so i searched up how to pronounce fuchsite and apparently its foochsite which made me laugh lmaooo
"...Even though I hate space." That was said so blasé that it really tickled me. Casually disliking space, love it. I'll store that along with finding out there is a very dedicated group of people who absolutely despise baby monkeys.
Smolt is a word for a young Salmon.....
Erick J no
