I love these mixtures.

[@bobbytirlea]

Perfect! I love the limited palette! Thank you!

[@Suflers570]

Thank you 🙏

[@karolkedzierski5824]

Thats why i recommend using Vermilion instead of Cadmium which is too intense and unnatural. It takes unnecessary time to mute it down when the Vermilion is already slightly muted but still deep and natural.

[@annemettelehmann8414]

Thank you so much - great inspiration :)

[@robhead22]

Great! Thank you!

[@someonesomewhere1100]

Interesting how muted cadmium red become with titanium white

[@danielfernandeznungaray8996]

Please make a comparition between Ceruleum and Cobalt turquoise clair please. I'll be very thankfull. Green cobalt, and Green earth also, please 🙏🏻

[@LennaertKoorman]

@danielfernandeznungaray8996 Thank you for your feedback! Good idea. We will consider it.

[@katetopps4706]

Which of your yellow ochres are you using? I would love to see each of your cadmium reds side by side in a video. I've been on the fence about whether to get the cadmium red med, vermilionized, and scarlet. I love these videos!

[@oldhollandclassiccolours2759]

Thank you for your input. We work on more video's.

[@LennaertKoorman]

@Kate Topps, In this example we did use Yellow Ochre Light, which is a natural Ochre (PY43), so it draws a little towards an orangey ochre. Wonderful color! Thank you for the feedback! We will consider the video on the multiple cad reds side by side. But first, we have some other colors planned. The biggest difference between the reds you mention is: 1. Cadmium Red Medium (Vermilioned) is darker and has more of a cool violet shade. 2. Cadmium Red Scarlet, has a lighter tone value and is a much warmer, orangey-red, because of its yellow shade. We used the Cad Red Scarlet in our latest video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eKmre5SVlJaCkMk Hope that helps.

I love these comparison videos. Will you also make comparisons for your ombers and siennas?

[@LennaertKoorman]

Thank you, Friso! Very good idea to also do the umbers and siennas. Please stay tuned for those. But first, some others are coming up.

[@frisodenijs]

@@LennaertKoorman Thank you! I look forward to them

[@LennaertKoorman]

@Friso Denijs, It took a while, but just wanted to let you know that we just finished our first comparison on Burnt Umber vs Van Dyck Brown. We also included a bit of Raw Umber in it. Here's the link. kzbin.info/www/bejne/ppOWl6Ogdp6saZI

Thanx! More is coming soon...

[@rocifier]

Are there any videos showing the difference between bright red, cadmium red light, cadmium red medium, cadmium red deep, burgandy wine red, and scheveningen red deep, royal purple lake, cadmium red scarlet, and scheveningen red scarlett? they all look similiar online and it's hard to know what to buy. Thanks

[@LennaertKoorman]

Hi rocifier. Online colour charts can never give us a perfect impression, that's very true. Up till now, we only made 3 comparison videos on Reds. 1: The one above on Cadmium Red Light vs Venetian Red. 2: Cadmium Red Scarlet vs Magenta Red, kzbin.info/www/bejne/fmO9h3eKh6l-e5Y 3: Alizarin Crimson vs Cadmium Red Scarlet, kzbin.info/www/bejne/eKmre5SVlJaCkMk But we will continue to make more and more, so please stay tuned... Cheers

[@charlesreidy2765]

A minute into the video the narrator refers to Cadmium Red Light, but it says Cadmium Red on the screen. Which is which?

[@LennaertKoorman]

@charlesreidy2765, Hi there, good question. The whole video is made with, and shows the use of Cadmium Red Light! In the beginning of the video 0:53, we did put 'light' under the name Cadmium Red. Later in the video that title was accidentally no longer shown, and you are the first to point it out to us. Thank you!

[@jimqartworks]

cool, what is the difference about OH Red ochre and Venetian Red and or English Red? thanks

[@LennaertKoorman]

Hi Sweaty Palms, they are all opaque, the biggest difference is the color temperature and shade. The Red Ochre is the most orange-yellow earth tone of those three. English Red is more reddish. The Venetian Red is also more reddish than the ochre, has the darkest tone value, and has a slightly cooler shade of violet, which can help you to de-saturate your skin colors. They are on the same line on the OH color chart on their site. Maybe nice to see them side by side. (I tried posting a direct link but somehow that seems not allowed.)

[@jimqartworks]

@@LennaertKoorman thank you, big help! cheers

[@jennifergottliebel-azhari149]

The narrator reminds me of an artist who has a KZbin channel Alpie

[@LennaertKoorman]

Hahaha, thank you, Jennifer! I did look up the channel you mention and watched some of his video's. He has wonderful content, and I do hear some similarities in the tone of voice. Good catch. Made me laugh. Have a great day!

[@oldhollandclassiccolours2759]

Dear Patricia, sorry to hear that you experienced some issues with your order. Please, contact our Customer Service via [e-mail]. So we can look at it.

[@Anardelft]

By the way, you keep giving examples of Old Masters, but they didn't have Titanium White, industrial iron oxide that you call Venetian Red, you can never achieve comparable results with this modern paint!🙄

[@LennaertKoorman]

Hi Anardelft, it is true that the old masters did not have titanium white yet. Otherwise, I think they would have used it, because it is a beautiful pigment and is not toxic like the warmer lead white. I don't think it matters too much that the recipes change over the years because they are very close to the old colors and the quality of the paint is excellent. In addition, I believe it is absolutely possible to achieve comparable results with modern paint. Just look at the work of Odd Nerdrum, for example, a modern master with work that is very reminiscent of the classics. By the way, he paints a lot with Old Holland and he also uses Titanium white. To me, his work looks great! But of course, your mileage may vary.

[@patriciasalmeron966]

Yo les compré como $ 400.00 en pinturas, pero cuando ordené un blanco titanio, me enviaron un blanco de plomo cubriéndole la información.son irresponsables

[@Anardelft]

My apologies, but how can you compare classic Zorn palette to modern paint? Titanium white vs Lead white??? Vemilion vs Cadmiun Red? I still can't understand, how can people paint portraits with titanium white (the only way is to glaze it otherwise the colors are very pale chalky)?

[@jeanmarie8525]

Mmm... I think the hard part of skin tones is not only belong to what colors we need to use, but it's how technically we need to reach the details. The solution that I have found is that some colors may be beautiful but hard to use for shading and glazing. Lake pigments is the right solution! Because you can control transparency and the way you need to shade. To be honest I found Titanium white dry and aggressive. We need Titanium because it's strong, but can't work for middle tones. I usually use instead Zinc White Lake pigments, then at the end titanium white. Never use pure white, always white with some colors. Hope it makes sense. Let me know if was that useful or have any suggestions
