Let's talk about YInTiCo Red

I am reviewing YInTiCo Red from Schmincke horadam in this art material review video. This pink pigment is made by the same people who discovered YInMn blue pigment. Find out what I think about it .
In this review series I share colour swatches of watercolour paints that I have and how I use them in an ink and wash sketch. This episode is much longer than the usual ones cos i deep dive on colour mixing. Do let me know if it is helpful to you.

I got mine weeks ago and was quite underwhelmed :). I'd rather put some Quin into Potter's Pink. Still nice to own a rare and new pigment though

[@PauloEAbreu]

Another informative and fun pigment video. Wonderful sketch!

[@thedrakonishe5138]

I love the greyish granulating mixes of it with greens!

[@eurekawanders]

Greys are always lovely.

Hi Alice. Well this looks like a Cobalt Violet PV14. Pay attention though because the Yin Ti blue had the tendency to dry in time rock hard when it was purred into pans. So hard as clay and impossible to reactivate. I don't know if that is the case with the YinTi "red" too ( in quotes because it is not exactly a red). Regarding its mixes, I assume that if you mix it with a Raw Umber it will give you fantastic beige skin tones. That kind of pinkish violets have this mixing property. In fact PV14 is my favourite skin mixing colour.

i love this series! yayyy! im quite glad i didn’t buy this. the fact that it’s not strong tinting like phthalos/quins makes it feel even more expensive 😅😂

[@ari_9354]

the color reminds me so much of cobalt violet at least the redder version of cobalt violet or looks like a more saturated or pinker version of potter's pink. a beautiful color tho, i always love a good pink or red and bonus if it's granulating but for the price i'll probably stick with potters pink and adding a bit or quin red or rose to it for a similar effect.

[@OneTrueWord1988]

Thanks so much Alice! Nice color, but too expensive. Thanks for the dupes; I'm going to try the Potters Pink with Quin Rose combo. ♥️💐♥️

[@cj_kirby]

The color is pretty and does make some nice mixes but I think you have shown you can get a pretty close dupe with mixing some other colors. The YinTiCo is just not different enough or strong enough color to justify as a must have. The price will certainly limit it making it's way into most palettes. Unless you must have as a collector or have some money to burn or as a unique gift for the watercolorist who has everything, I don't think there is much justification to warrant a purchase. Thanks for the review.

Gosh, if am I not a sucker for granulating and colours separating pigments!? I'm already crazy for Potter's Pink, but I found your mixes with this pigment 'we don't dare to say the name' so so beautiful 😍. But I'm going to inhale and exhale and let it go, for sure. Maybe schmincke is going to launch a new series of supergranulation colours with this one... but the series name would be 'priceless colours' 😅😂😂

[@eurekawanders]

All these super granulation layering separating colours are sure expensive!

[@xyz7572]

Schmincke has had a few limited edition paints in the past that were really beautiful and that I’m sad I didn’t get, but for this one, I dont think I’ll feel bad afterwards for skipping it 😅 Such a nice video, thank you for these deep-dives into specific paints to help us subscribers decide if we want to buy it or not. I really enjoy watching them! 😊❤️

[@eurekawanders]

You are welcome! I really love making swatching videos 😊

[@77Tom77Tom77]

Thank you for your very detailed review! I suppose the Yintio red is very useful when you need soft washes of magenta tones, which are perfectly light resistant.

[@danielleb.7055]

Thanks for reviewing this of course were all interested in new pigments and want to know all of the what's about it. I really love the mixes it made. Beautiful but like you said it's not a need but of course we want lol. Have a great day

[@TracyIndy]

Great video, and thank you for the mixes.❤

[@eurekawanders]

You are welcome!

[@sherhardgrave3664]

Very helpful thank you

[@nadeaner.cowley513]

Great overview!! Thanks for sharing🩷

[@syrinx9196]

Unlike quinacridone and ultramarine pink, this pigment is totally lightfast and chemically stable. Ultramarine pink is sensitive to acids as far as I know. That could be a problem with the Szmal because it uses honey. Quinacridone rose (PR 19) and quinacridone magenta (PR 122) are not fully lightfast. They're considered "lightfast enough" but they fade, especially when diluted as pale washes and in tints with white.

[@eurekawanders]

Ah. Thanks for that information. I didn’t know.

[@elaineg60]

I know this is late..but, curious; mixing the yintico red with YinMn….PB33 (manganese) and PB35…. Watched this because I’m getting some more PB33 pigment this week and for just a bit of it, we (my fellow mad scientist best friend & I 😁) are going to mull some PR233 with it. We got a beautiful cool gray, just mixing from already made pans, also with some handmade PB35. In different concentrations, we got a few mixes that appeared 3D with a, JUST Slight, metallic sheen that we weren’t expecting. We are obsessed & hooked 😂. My best friend is a retired art professor and thinks the reactions we got have to do with metals/minerals reacting in the mix. WHICH is why we’re curious about the 2 Yin+’s..OR/and the PB33 & PB35. Maybe next month we can go in together again to getting tubes of our own. 😁

[@eurekawanders]

Sounds like an amazing experiment!

[@eurekawanders]

Haha I have the paints! Where are your PB33 PB35 from?

[@elaineg60]

@@eurekawanders Gregory at Prodigal Sons! I’m absolutely obsessed with PB33! I tried Egyptian Blue, PB31 last week..not my cup of tea-VERY gritty and extremely lightly pigmented, zero tinting. I spoke to a friend who’s much more experienced with handmade paints (Kourtney at KOZ) she said PB31 and Smalt were the 2 hardest pigments to mull. Apparently there’s an EU maker (DellaM?) who does have some good ones. I just love traditional pigments and paints! While I’ve moved away from heavy granulation and separation in my painting; I still love an occasional “neutral” gray, even with unexpected and unique effects!
