Color Spotlight Returns - Nickel Azo Yellow (PY150)

[@PaigeEscapes]

As per your request.... check your mission gold green gold py150 swatch to see how it looks ( ~3.50 into the video... you probably remembered but just in case ☺️). Yes- I watch your videos frequently ( several times actually) because they really are so incredibly helpful! Thank you so much- more grateful than you can imagine. And thank you for the Qor live swatching you just did too- always love your swatching videos ( informative for so many reasons!). All your animals eyes are absolutely incredible too Denise! !!!

[@ercederbaum4]

It's been 6 months, how did the Mission Gold turn out? Have you gotten a M Graham version of this color to swatch out??

[@arrysky3428]

I love Nickel Azo Yellow. It has a glow to it that I don't see in other colors.

[@InLiquidColor]

ArrySky it definitely does :) it and Quin Gold share that quality.

[@TrueLoveX1027]

Such a beautiful color. One thing that this color does and was in part why I added it to my Ultimate Pallete of 30 is its "shooshing" properties when added wet 'n wet to other colors. I just love the movement! Denise, I was going to say I wished I had found you sooner, but honestly I wasn't ready for your amazing content, which for me at least is better understood as a moderately experienced watercolorist. I can't say enough just how much your immense efforts are appreciated! You give such in depth information and watching you paint your incredible world of extraordinary watercolor animals is a true joy! As a teacher, you were meant to share your knowledge and skills as you do it so effortlessly well. xx

[@pickmyflowers0]

As it's past the 6 month mark, I'm curious as to how the Mission Gold swatch turned out? As always, I really appreciate how informative and well thought out your content is!

[@hippopotamusbosch]

Maybe you should use @Denise Soden

[@rebeccapage4411]

This series is getting dangerous for my budget! Another lovely choice 🤓

[@InLiquidColor]

Rebecca Page haha, sorry Bekki!

[@mjpete27]

These color spotlight series are so informative and you should know that they are appreciated! I enjoy watching your videos and I am so glad to have found your channel. I wish you only good things, have a grand day! Lovely birds by the way!

[@racheldurkincachero1332]

I love it! This is my absolute favorite color for putting a nice transparent warm glow in the background of scenes.

[@melissabailey2209]

So cute! Thanks for another great color spotlight, Denise. This is the next color on my wishlist to get for yellows--I think I need a warmer, more muted yellow than the ones I have. It was wonderful seeing what it can do and getting your thoughts on the matter. Thanks again!

[@InLiquidColor]

So glad it was helpful!

[@HandmadeByLinanne]

❤️❤️💕! The Tuscans and their colors make me happy!

[@tina4314]

I love this painting, you've really given these gorgeous birds have so much personality!

[@legoduckie]

I love how you did the horn this time!!

[@InLiquidColor]

Legoduckie thank you!

[@avijain9463]

I LOVE COLOR SPOTLIGHT...YAYAYYAYYYYY💕💕

[@jiangli3520]

This is my absolute favourite yellow, I love the greens I can make with this!

[@cassiescreations9828]

Love the Phalo mixes in this !!! Opened my eyes, gonna get some Phalo green to represent some of the brighter green plants where I live. The other mixes are beautiful also. That older swatch of green gold, from the two swatches, looks correct. The newer one does not - maybe just a bad mix. I love your cute and colorful rhino-horned birds!

[@InLiquidColor]

Thanks Cassie! I knew that mix would be helpful for someone :D

[@cathyferguson570]

Love the piece and love the tune. Love the pigment also. Thanks!

[@ergastiripetra1209]

sennelier version of this one is the only yellow hue i need,use and love!

[@BornAgainFarmGirl]

Beautiful job Denise , enjoy your color Spotlight videos very much !

[@noamke100]

This is probably my favorite yellow, thank you for this video!

[@daruleos]

I came back to this video to ask if you could post a story with an update on the Mission Gold swatch, did it change color again? It's really nice to rewatch this series😍

[@sherrikent6628]

You may want to date stamp you swatches on the back so that you can check color changes.

[@marvastroud8772]

Sherri Kent, a really brilliant idea !

[@LeySketch]

I love colour spotlight so much! So happy to see this. 💜 And those uni-cans! They are so dang adorable!

[@zibbyzoo4379]

Yay Denise!!! My favorite yellow!

[@MassimilianoDeliso]

Hi Denise, I think is time to check mission gold swatch, its been more than 6 months!

[@Gothikah]

Hmm those browns and greens are really inspiring me to do some nature scenes with my White nights. Or maybe even a nature scene, and do a Indian Bull Frog which is yellow.. hmm. I'm inspired :D

[@bevroberts8440]

Those birds are fabulous looking! Before you explained what they were I thought they just creatures of your imagination, lol.

[@InLiquidColor]

Aw thank you Bev! Nature is pretty amazing!

[@greyghost5696]

Yay!! Thanks again for such an informative video Denise!! :)

[@fufufuaru]

I didn't like PY150 at first because it's quite close to DS' quin gold, but I've learned to love it after a couple of uses. It's my go-to yellow now. Also, I like how it sparkles haha

[@MCpenguin300]

The Mission Gold swatch was already greenish when you featured it in the Pure Pigment video, so I doubt it faded

[@LulululuImpact]

I love the M Graham version of this, even brighter than the Daniel Smith.

[@anam00090]

Love the mixes and the demo 😊 I use the Perylene Green mixes all the time - beautiful greens. Also, mixed with Perylene Violet, it gives some nice browns and surprisingly mixes well with Cascade Green. It is very staining though, I agree 👀

[@InLiquidColor]

Ana Markozashvili glad I'm not alone in thinking this color is a stainer!

[@cindynguyen5661]

Seeing as it is toxic, how do you get rid of toxic waters? I've been avoiding toxic colours because I'm scared of dumping it into the sink. So far I've been allowing the sediment to sink in the water and pouring out the clear water on top then soaking the sediment filled water into paper towels, then I throw the paper into the trash. Is this an okay way of throwing away toxic colours?

[@annikania2682]

I want to quote one of my chemistry professors, with whom I talked about pigments; “As long as you don’t plan to eat it you don’t have to worry” But honestly, I feel WAY more comfortable with replacing nickel azo yellow with azo green, which (as far as I know) is the same structure with copper instead of the nickel c: And, the uses are pretty similar for me, both being good candidates for a cool yellow c:

[@InLiquidColor]

Annikania as always, my concern is always more about the environment than myself. I know I'm not eating the paints, but what I put down the drain worries me 💜

[@annikania2682]

In Liquid Color yep c: I don’t feel comfortable using it either... both for health and environmental reasons

[@erins.5420]

In Liquid Color im surprised you don’t have a process for being earth kind when disposing if Yo͏u͏r paints!! It’s easy, you have a water bucket for washing the paint from you brush and another you keep clean for painting. The brush washing bucket...when it get to the point of too dirty, transfer that into a plastic cup or container OR a cup or container you don’t care much about. Leave it outside so the water evaporates and you’re left with dried up pigment at the bottom. Disposing of the dried up pigment as long as it’s not down the drain has many options that are most beneficial for our water system and earth. What I do, I have a rather large container for this because cleaning the brush wash bucket I still don’t want the bits remaining to go down the drain. I dump the concentrated water and paint into a large bucket outside and use a hose with a strong stream to spray clean the bucket, it takes seconds and is kept controlled within the large bucket/container (I use a huge paint bucket...these are labeled to be able to keep even toxic properties contain in the bucket without breaking down). I leave the bucket in a safe place outside to evaporate that won’t harm any animals or entice bugs to hang around. After the pigment is all that’s left in the bucket after a few cleanings the pigment with chip away from the plastic and what ever I can grab wearing protective gloves I take the chips out and put those into a waste disposal container that I can take to a local place that is capable and legally able to dispose of toxic materials. It’s only cost me a few bucks and I’ve done my part as a watercolor enthusiast.

[@InLiquidColor]

@@erins.5420 Yes I do this when I'm working with heavy metals Erin.

[@reneecp1905]

Your videos are so inspiring! I have a question regarding toxic paints. I love PY150, however, I am concerned about watercolor toxicity and have removed all colors with a warning label from my palette. What are your thoughts about watercolor toxicity; and what would be a good non-toxic alternative to PY 150. Thank you!

[@InLiquidColor]

Thanks Renee! I let my paint water settle after a paint session, pour off the water on top, and pour the part with most of the paint sediment in a dump bucket. The water evaporates off the top, and I can repeat the process until I have enough to take to a paint disposal location. Unfortunately PY150 is a fairly unique color. You can give PO48 mixed with a brighter transparent yellow a shot!

[@patti3d]

I have watched your swatching videos. And love them. I just realized i wasnt subscribed so subbed. I found this color spotlight series and so happy I did! It will help me have a relationship with all my colors and use them to their full potential. Thank you. I will check you out on skillshare also.

[@InLiquidColor]

Thanks so much Patti!

[@Drumaier]

Hi Denise, great video. I have nickel azo yellow and i have to pick one more yellow to my palette but i'm struggling about if going for a pure yellow (py154) or a more orange yellow (py110). This Nickel azo i find that it mixes better with blues to get greens rather than with reds to make oranges, so for that reason i think py110 could work better, but for the other hand is very dark in mass tone and maybe a more lemmon or pure yellow could make more sense. I will get both eventually but i have to make a short list for this time. I wonder what do you think, in your experience, could be a better addition to pair with the nickel azo....a cool bright yellow, or a deep orange yellow? Thanks!

[@Cherrybl_29]

Yay! One of my favourite colours!

[@MaryHallman-i6d]

Great video on one of my favorite colors! Quick question - what mixing complements do you recommend with PY 150 for shadows?

[@AafkeVultink]

that qor azo yellow is sooo awesome it is the first time i am concidering buying a single tube from a brand just because i really love the mixes you get with it, i have it in a pan but, jeah... love it. PS Glad to hear you are feeling better

[@cathyquilts2609]

Lovely black mix!!

[@geckonia]

Brilliant as always. Thank you ✨🙏🏼✨

[@jessicasobel4287]

I don't know if using QoR's version would alter the staining a little bit to make it more staining?? Most of QoRs colors seem to be more staining than other brands. Love the tucans!!

[@InLiquidColor]

That is true! I haven't used the other versions much but I'll try to sit down with them all when I have more time and see how it goes.

[@StephenMarkTurner]

I have the QOR version. I like the change in colour from dilute to thick. For a more even looking yellow, I like Benzi yellow154.

[@InLiquidColor]

Stephen Turner PY154 is my favorite true yellow but definitely different from this one imo :)

[@StephenMarkTurner]

I have a trio of QOR yellows. The 154 is smooth and VERY yellow. By contrast, 129 on the green side, and 150 on the orange side, with the 'texture' ie change from masstone to undertone. I figure that yellow is the hardest hue to mix well, because of the high value, so makes sense to have a few different paints.

[@justtheletterV274]

Nickel azo yellow (Primary Yellow in CMYK mixing) is just one of the ok complementary colors for Ultramarine Blue I heard ,

[@henrypham415]

Do you think it's redundant to have both Quin Gold and Nickel Azo Yellow (both from DS) on the same palette?

[@LittleZmaj]

Love the color-mixes! I was wondering, since the nickel ago it contains heavy metal what is the best way handling the color, is it ok to rinse the brushes and water containing the color in the sink? I am happy to hear you are feeling better and it is of course ok to take a bit of time off to finish your projects. Wish you good luck on the projects!

[@InLiquidColor]

AdelaJ that is what I'm unsure about with this pigment. I'm not sure of it's environmental impact.

[@patti3d]

I want to be more conscious of these paints to the environment also. So I will not put the paint water down the drain. I think in my yard would be better since the soil will absorb the metals and not in our water supply. I think we are ok as long as we dont eat or drink the paints. I am sure at some point we all have accidentally drank from our paint cup! I now use a cover or cup lid on my drinking water while painting!

[@diasmall]

3:00 mark.. did it turn green again?

[@InLiquidColor]

No

[@hhhmarch]

Is there any alternative color you can recommend for nickel azo yellow m graham ?

[@macCALICOmac]

Hello! Please could w have an update on the green gold 🌱🌼

[@FuriedHearts]

Did you ever get an update on that first Mission Gold swatch to see if it changed?

[@bastet469]

Btw, Turner Watercolor has PBr25 also; Benzimidazolone Brown. You try pronouncing that one! Lol. I remember from science class that you could break up big terms into 2 syllable pieces. So I'm going with that. Benzi-mida-zolone. Where's Dr. Bunsin Honeydew & Beeker when you need them? 😁

[@jaimeanderson9238]

Holbein does too. Imidazolone brown.

[@LunaBianca1805]

I try to stay away from the heavy metal ones as well, but I got both the transparent yellow and the quin gold hue by Schmincke, which both contain nickel and their cobalt turquoise. Which is a bit weird since I'm usually quite paranoid when it comes to anything that's a potential health hazard. The mixture's just all seemed too damn tantalising and luring, it was hard to pass by them - I guess, I'll just have to be a bit more careful around them then ^^'

[@ikerluz2220]

It' been six months (a year actually) has the newer swatch changed the way the other one did?

[@ChristinaTodd1970]

Denise, I noticed you were using the larger Perla in this painting. What are your thoughts on it? My go to brushes are Black Velvet but sometimes I need a firmer brush that holds less water. Would the Perla fit that bill?

[@InLiquidColor]

This was my first painting with the larger size so I can't say long term, but so far I really like it! Definitely much more firm than the SBV, but sometimes that's what you need! :)

[@yurinaka99]

Would it be a good choice for the warm yellow in a 12 pan travel palette? It would be in there together with lemon yellow, a pyrrole red, magenta, ultramrine and a cerulean as primaries as well as a purple, green (phthalo) and orange. This is a ratjer specific question but I am really unsure about the earm yellow thing..

[@irritatedlibrarian9057]

It's more of a mid yellow than a warm yellow. If you're looking for a really warm yellow PY65 hansa yellow deep or a Quinacridone gold (pigments depends on brand) would be best.

[@ChristinaTodd1970]

Oh! How do I use PY150? Since I only have QOR Quin Gold (and QOR Nicole azo yellow) I mix the two to temper down the QOR Quin Gold, which is closer to Quin Burnt Orange by DS, imo. This mix gives me a lighter version closer to the DS Quin Gold.

[@FranciscaPires]

When i opened the video the number of likes before i clicked was exactly 150 xD btw, it's my favourite yellow, thank you for including it 😍

[@InLiquidColor]

That's awesome! :D So glad you liked it!

[@aprilharvey2225]

Daniel Smith Green Gold is PY 150, PY 3, and PY 36

[@InLiquidColor]

April Harvey yep, their rich green gold is the single pigment.

[@pantalonious3984]

Sooo has anyone been notified of the color for the Green Gold had ever changed? It’s years later now and I’m extremely curious as I just purchased the MMG Pure Pigment Set with that color in it….

[@bluemoon5766]

Did the second watch of the mission gold change

[@samanthaglorioso8440]

Love love love these birds!!! You might ask Steve about this as I don't have this color, but M Graham has both Nickle Azo Yellow and Azo Yellow. Don't know the pigments on either one, or how different they look from each other. Very glad you are feeling better, so don't push yourself about content. Slow and steady, Tortoise Woman, wins the race. Don't let that rabbit push you! Oh, I just can't stop loving these birds!!!

[@InLiquidColor]

I'm so glad you love the birdies! They were so fun. Azo yellow from them is PY151. Similar number, but indeed very different colors! :)

[@samanthaglorioso8440]

Had to watch it again. LOVE these birdies! Also love the music.

[@nacho6496]

Is it possible to have an allergic reaction to paint containing nickel? Im tempted to get a tube but i wouldnt want to get paint that im allergic to

[@katherinesimonds622]

Color spotlight isn't favorite! How did you aquire the WK version? I have the 48 set and it's not in there. Ty D!

[@InLiquidColor]

Katherine Sullivan it's a new color. It was in the original audio but I cut it out to save time lol. The supplier sent me the wrong pan when I ordered open stock from eBay. I talk about it more in my White Nights video. :)

[@julielauzon8347]

what about that mission gold green gold?

[@Renilou2]

I would like to see if your Mission Gold PY150 has remained the same?

[@gregorytangalos811]

Luv you stuff... But the music really grabbed me down... Thank you..💝💝💝 🐺🌱🐺🌱🐺

[@BennyTheFoolsApprentice]

Please Please Pretty Please can you do Hansa Medium Yellow and Carmine Red? I am new to watercolors and found your channel. I am learning a lot and love how you present your videos. I'm a subscriber for life.

[@InLiquidColor]

Hi Benny! The colors for the second round were chosen by my patrons and is coming to a close soon. I'll probably do a third round but it may be a while before that happens! I'm so glad you like the content though and hope to see you around!

[@macCALICOmac]

Reminder to check the yellow

[@aprilharvey2225]

I have Daniel Smith green gold which is very green (like spring green). It is not even close to the green gold you are showing at the beginning of this video

[@InLiquidColor]

Mission Gold and Daniel Smith use the "wrong" names. Most company's green gold is PY129.

[@Prof_Granpuff]

Oh I love these good birds, they're my children,

[@InLiquidColor]

itsadonigma haha I'm glad you like them!

[@ergastiripetra1209]

my fav yellow

[@BennyTheFoolsApprentice]

I am in love with your channel. I am new to water color and color in genera. I need help. I need a good student grade to low cost professional watercolors in cool and warm blue, red and yellow watercolors. Can you suggest some colors please. Also, a good white and black. This will be my palette so I can learn how to mix colors and develop my skills with colors in general. Thank you.

[@InLiquidColor]

Hi Benny, I have a great video for what you're asking called My Top 10 Favorite Brands :) It includes student watercolors.

[@elinbirgis]

so... did it turn green or what?

[@InLiquidColor]

It did not.

[@Paintsplash4]

Probably get more nickel leached from jewelry or.... nickels! than from a tiny bit of paint. Just saying. Love your color spotlights.

[@PaintWithNisha]

Hey! Love from India ♥️. Just discovered your channel ♥️😍. I must say your channel has everything. I also run a small ART KZbin CHANNEL named NISHA SHIVAKAR KUMARI 🙃. I was thinking of start using watercolours and your tutorials are perfect for me🤗♥️

[@cathyquilts2609]

Music reminds me of Karenbritchick ☺️
