- Hello dearest friends and happy 2023!! ❤️ Thank you all so much for being here xoxo
Today I will be swatching my newest Zecchi watercolors for you and I'll also be talking a little about my new watercolor sketchbook, the new Hahnemuhle 100% cotton sketchbook! Really hope you enjoy the video!! ❤️
The materials I used can be found here:
Hahnemuhle watercolor book a5: penstore.com/en/hahnemuhle/wa...
and after searching today I found the Hahnemuhle watercolor book for a better price on sale on Amazon Germany: amzn.to/3Xmab3d
(the link to amazon de is an affiliate link x)
Zecchi watercolors can be purchased directly from the Zecchi store here: zecchi.it/products.php?catego...
To your question about the color mixing video: YES! TOTALLY YES! Thank you!
Yay! Thank you, a mixing video is high on the list of things to film afterr I've done with all the swatching! 😊❤️
I have a Hannemule 100% cotton sketchbook and it's one of the best purchases I ever made. Their watercolor paper is the best in my opinion. 😁❤️
I totally agree, I am LOVING the sketchbook!! ❤️🙌
Artemiranda has the sketchbooks. They have great watercolor paper choices and deliver in the whole word. They even charge you in your currency. Buying most of my paper there.
Thank you so much for the info, I have bookmarked their website!! ❤️🙌
Yes please 🙏 do a video of mixing these colors 🎉
Yay, a mixing video is absolutely something I'd love to do! ❤️😊
I would love to see mixing :) they are lovely, it makes a nice soft palette.
Your drawings are beautiful in your new book!😊
Thank you so much! 😊
It made me so happy to log on and see that you'd posted a Zecchi swatching video! They're lovely. I'm just so attracted to your palettes. And, yes PLEASE to a mixing video! Have a lovely day!
You are so welcome, I am so glad that you enjoy the videos, I love making them for all of you, it's like sitting with friends and sharing the love of everything watercolours 😊❤️
So glad I found your channel. Would love to see mixes but also some of your art! The sneak peeks on your channel looks so inspiring. Wishing you a lovely 2023.
Thank you! ❤️ Happy 2023! 😊🙌
I love this color palette!
I love the colours in this palette
Your artwork is so beautiful! This was a fun video to watch, thank you for sharing it with us! ♥
Yes to mixning❣️
they def do great greens!
Very right tho the paper is like mid press, a mix between hot press and cold press. I bout the a4 size and I'm obsessed. Just enough texture to look amazing and show granulation. But also ink works soooo well. Hanemhule is top tier. I think it 20 times better than Arches.
I definitely want to see a mixing video!
I'm hopeful I'll be doing a mixing video soon! 😊🙌
I would very much enjoy some mixing videos... and artwork videos in general! Your artwork is just delightful, and its always such a cozy, peaceful moment to spend some time with you while enjoying all things watercolor. Wishing you a Favor-filled and Joyous 2023! ☺💖
I love sitting quietly in my studio, sharing with you all, it's a wonderful feeling! ❤️Thank you so much for being here, happiest of times ahead for you in 2023!! 😊🙌❤️
Such gorgeous colors - and I really love your work!❤
Thank you so much Monica!😊❤️
I would love to see you mix these colors. They are all so lovely! And your voice is so soothing. I’d love to see you paint something too.
Oh thank you, you are very kind! ❤️🙌
Mixing colors - yes, please! 🥰
❤🙌😊
Yes I would love to see you mix the colors!
Wonderful colors and so peaceful to watch being swatched.
Thank you! 😊❤️
This is so helpful! I am thinking of buying this sketchbook as I love the hahnemuhle paper for my art prints. Thank you for sharing. The way you present you swatches is just wonderful too!
I'm so glad it was helpful! ❤️😊🙌
The blues are gorgeous 😍😍😍 it has been a loong time since I've seen such beautiful swatches of blues 💙
💙💜💙😊
I love your swatches ❤cheers from Australia
Thank you so much, I'm glad you enjoy them 😊❤
Very intrigued by this Zecchi palette. Never heard of the brand. Also fascinated by your primitive realistic/fantasy style. Don't know exactly what it's called but I love it. Can't wait to see these colors mixed.
Thank you! 😊❤
thx for sharing, I've learn more and more in every new post. i feel this Zecchi wcolors have a great fading grades possibilities if that make sense. forgive my english is limited. best regards
I agree with you! And your English is perfect! Thank you so much for being here! 😊
I would like to see a video of you mixing these colors. I’ve never used paints. I’d like to see a video of you painting something please. Lovely colors.
Yes, would love to see some mixing videos!
Noted! ❤️🙌
As an English person "stranded" in the middle of Germany, I am actually living 15 minutes away from that little coutry side place Dassel were Hahnemühle comes from. I love their sketchbook paper but never tried the watercolor one. So, I have to admit I was a little bit confused that you haven't actually tried the new paper. 😇😆 Back to the colours: the Zecchi Carmine Red and the Indigo are totally not what i would expect. I use Schminke water colours which are rich and deep.
Oh, wow, how wonderful to hear you live near where Hahnemuhle comes from! 😊 Schmincke is one of the brands I hope to try more of this year as I've only tried a few of their colours so far! ❤️
I love your new sketchbook. Those colors are awesome. I would like to s÷ videos of swatching and sketching.
Thank you! ❤️😊
I cannot stop thinking this: that permanent green light is ORANGE and I am very confused. The geranium lake, brown madder, and indigo blue are absolutely beautiful, though.
Also: please show us how you mix colors!! Your videos are so calming and your art is so sweet, I do love watching them!
Yep, I agree, that colour does look orange especially on the video! 😄Mixing video is a first priority after I've finished with all the swatching! Thank you for being here! ❤️🙌
New subscriber, would love to see a painting with them or demo after the swatching.
Thanks for subbing! ❤️ Hope to have more painting videos in the future 😊
Other than the illustrations your handwriting is beautiful too , and everything on your sketchbook looks very neat 😆
Aw, thank you! 🥰
Once again, I enjoyed your interesting swatch video!!
And btw, we couldn’t hear a peep coming from the construction crew. 🤷🏻♂️
ps… The texture of the paper in your sketch book is EXACTLY what I’m looking for.
I’ll search for one.
It’s outrageously expensive here in Canada‼️
But I buy the high-end items anyways.
It is what it is. Lol :)
Bfn & THANKYOU 🦋
I would love to learn more about the "greys" palette you swatched
in the back of the Hahnemuhle watercolor sketchbook.
They were a little sample palette of Daniel Smith grey colors 😊The other grey palette swatch were greys I mixed myself ❤❤
I greatly appreciate your prompt reply. I am interested to learn your custom grey mix recipes. I was unable to read the notes written under the swatches.
@@marmalade2611 I am planning one of my future videos to be mixing greys as I love the many variations of grey you can achieve by mixing differnt colours. Hopefully will film the video after Ive finished the swatching videos from my Black Friday haul 😊
@@lilymoonart I look forward to your videos. Thank you.
Hi there! Do you generally use the series 10 or the series 35 Da Vinci Maestro brush?
I think the 10 is round, and 35 is long round
Is there any place I can see more of your art? I love your style and would love to see some painting videos from you?
Hi Diane, yes of course! You can see some of my work on in my instagram page here: instagram.com/lilymoon3/ or in my Etsy shop here: www.etsy.com/uk/shop/LilyMoon. I also have a Patreon page here: www.patreon.com/Lilymoon 😊❤️
Very nice! Some of your swatching circles were darn near perfect circles, well done! The 100% cotton Hahnemuhle sketchbook looks nice. I tried one of their sketchbooks but it was cellulose paper and not 100% cotton. I didn’t love it. But maybe the 100% cotton one is an improvement?
The 100% cotton is really lovely, although I haven't tried their other cellulose paper sketchbook to compare. 😊
nice👍
Thank you 😊
I absolutely love the illustrations..especially the background detail that looks like a little piece of paper. I have been painting for years, but I recently started moving more towards illustration ,which is a huge mindshift for me. I love learning from tutorials like this, so I am definitely subscribing. For a moment there I thought I was listening to a South African English person (your accent sounds allot like Cape Town SA English🤣 and the "ai jai jai" is often heard here in English, Afrikaans, Xhosa...you name it🤣) but then...we got our English from Britain.
Hello Ella, welcome!! 😊❤My accent is a little strange haha, I am part Londoner as I was born there and part greek so it tends to go all over the place haha! 😂
@@lilymoonart that actually makes allot of sense.. South Africa consists of so many people of which Greeks are also part of. The first Greek to set foot on SA soil was recorded in 1790. 😁
Bosners in austria has them:) can we see you set up your swatches page so gorgeous
Thank you so much for letting us know! 🙌 I am making a list with all the video suggestions, and hoping to film them all at some point!! ❤️😊
A week ago I was in Florence and visited Zecchi, where I purchased their Raw Umber watercolour (there wasn’t a colour chart or pigment numbers available and raw umber seemed like a safe choice) and an absolutely gorgeous set of handmade Amatruda paper.
I found your channel looking for videos about their watercolours and your videos are awesome! Just subscribed to your channel.
Now, looking at the colour chart in their website, it looks like your permanent green light was mislabelled. Perhaps you should contact them and see what they say? I have also watched your other video in which you swatch more of their colours and I am sorry I haven’t found your channel while in Florence. That second row is to die for! The ultramarine blue is beautiful! Is it their ultramarine blue light?
I officially have art store envy! I would love to go to their store in Florence, how wonderful you went there! 😊And that handmade paper sounds divine! The ultramarine I bought from them, is called Ultramarine Blue Deep and it is a gorgeous ultramarine! 💙I will look into the permanant green light, thank you for the tip!! And thank you so much for suscribing!! 😊❤️
@@lilymoonart You and me both! I could live in an art supplies shop. 😬🤦🏻♀️
The art stores in Florence are quite small but have a great selection of brands at very good prices, a wonderful surprise to me since it is a very touristic town and everything tends to be more expensive in areas like this one. Many products were less expensive than here in France, where I live, if I can find them at all.
The Zecchi shop is a small wonderful and organised mess, like my desk, I have to say. Hopefully I will be able to return soon!
I need to get that ultramarine! It is so soft that I thought it was the light one. And green earth, dragon blood, and and and… 😬 The handmade paper is gorgeous! I still need to test it but I think I’ll have do do so using the envelope that wrapped the A5 sheets. It is 100% cotton but I have no idea if it holds watercolours well. If not, I will use it with graphite or coloured pencils. Zecchi doesn’t seem to sell it online, but the manufacturer, Amatruda, does.
Have a great weekend!
@@chris.369 Have a great week ahead and thank you so much for sharing the joys of your travel with us! ❤❤
Somewhere online the pigment information for Zecchi and their partner company in Poland are available. Their cobalts are really lovely. I think it very much depends on what type of qualities you are looking for. I like having different types of watercolour…. Each brand has its own quirks. And colours are not always what you think they will be. That’s why pigment info is important. I like you choices. I chose 21 colours, and love the greens in particular…. Pigment names by the way are absolutely no indicator! There is not consistency in names at all and different countries seem to just very arbitrary about how they name them. If I find the pigment info I will post it for you.
Thank you so very much for your thoughtful analysis! ❤️I would LOVE to know the pigment numbers for the Zecchi colours, it would make mixing them so much more easier for me, particularly helpful too if I video the process 😊🙌
They sell them at Blick too
Thank you for the information Kenneth!! They are lovely sketchbooks! 😊
Zecci colors are stunning but I can't afford them :/
Perhaps they will have a sale at some point! If they do and I see it I'll mention it in a future video. ❤️
Hello! First!
Yes you are!😊❤️
Get used to it 😆. It’s kind of my thing to be first to comment 😂
@@awatercolourist 😄😄
@@awatercolourist 🤣
@@TracyIndy Hi Tracy 👋🏼 😃😃
How...odd. It looks like they misnamed almost all the colors. I have several Geranium Lakes, and they are...geranium red without any brown undertone.
Regardless, the video is delightful!
