Hello! any chance you guys could make a video with the red earth color? thank you! love the videos! Edit: maybe comparing it with English red, Venetian red, and persian (indian) red? just a sugestion! I would be happy to see red earth color on any setting / comparison!

[@oldhollandclassiccolours2759]

Thank you so much! And thanks for your input!

[@LennaertKoorman]

Hi Lrv z, Thank you for your feedback and input! We will certainly consider your proposal for a video about Red Earth vs other red colors. But first, there are a number of other colors on the schedule. Ciao

Well worth the wait! Could this be part of a Zorn palette like in many other videos?

[@LennaertKoorman]

@Jean Bigboute, Thank you for your patience and appreciation. In answer to your question, yes, you could use this in a Zorn-like palette. In this case, you could replace the black from the Zorn palette with Van Dyck Brown. That way, you get a slightly warmer 'black' than with Ivory black. However, this will reduce your strongly cool colors. You could just give it a try and see if you like it. Lots of fun!

[@jeanbigboute]

@@LennaertKoorman Product idea: Zorn sampler kits so non-artists can replicate the palettes we enjoy in your videos. Four sample-sized tubes, a small canvas, and the mixing tool. Collect them all!

[@oldhollandclassiccolours2759]

Thank you very much for following us. Yes, it can. See the answer of our great video maker Lennaert below.

Van Dyck Brown is my favorite.

[@oldhollandclassiccolours2759]

It is a very nice colour like many others in our collection!

[@jeanbigboute]

Any chance of a new video in this series?

[@LennaertKoorman]

@jeanbigboute, Thanx for asking! Sure, we had a little delay, but are currently working on a new video. Coming soon.

Doesn’t Van Dyke brown have black in it? Couldn’t you just add a little black to your burnt umber for similar effect?

[@LennaertKoorman]

@kristinclark4767, Hi there, it is correct that Van Dyke Brown contains black pigment, PBL 9 / Bone Black, so you can definitely mute down your Burnt Umber a lot with Black, but it will probably still be a lot warmer / reddish Browns than the more Grayish Van Dyke Brown is. But just play with it and try it out. Hope that helps.
