I have 2 tubes of Quin burnt orange.. It's clear I love it :D Anyway,these videos are extremely helpful,so thank you so much for posting them!

[@JayNathanWatercolor]

You're welcome. I'm very glad to hear that you find them helpful 🙏☺️

Thanks for sharing! I have those dot cards. Before the original Quin Gold pigment PO49 ran out, I stocked up with several back up tubes from DS. Also the Sap Green because it was made with PO49 and PG7 at the time. The Quin Gold Deep by DS was also made with the single pigment "PO49" back then. I still have almost a tube of that as well. All the PO49 Quinacridones varied from cool to warm. I was told many years ago after calling Daniel Smith that the Quinacridone PO48 is actually from the exact same source as PO49. Its just the warmest version. I really don't care for the mix substitutes for PO49 in most brands, except Winser & Newtons version. Its actually the closest in hue to the original.

Ahhh, we have finally gotten to their claim to fame (besides their Quin Rose)! I own an embarrassing amount of their earth colors 😳. Many are just for the fun of them. Quin burnt orange can be a substitute for burnt sienna, it makes for really transparent mixes. I have it on a supplemental palette. I like the yellow ochre and the Monte Amiata sienna for everyday use. I have been painting lots of rocks lately and using a lot of these, and some from your next video too! I painted my dot card onto individual cards, I like how you are putting these all together on one page. TFS.

[@JayNathanWatercolor]

Great to hear the quin burnt orange can be used in place of a burnt sienna 🙏☺️

[@aeli999]

Of these I use Burgundy Yellow Ochre, Quin Gold, Lunar Earth, and Quin Burnt Orange (fav). I have Nickel Azo Yellow and Indian red from Da Vinci and I love them. I've never tried the Quin Deep Gold. It sure is pretty.

[@JayNathanWatercolor]

It's a lovely color. As is the quin burnt orange ☺️

[@SarahAndBoston]

Thank you! These are so fun to see being painted and it's always interesting to see the drying shift. I think I want that Lunar Earth, if only for the incredible granulation.

[@JayNathanWatercolor]

You're welcome ☺️ The lunar earth is a very nice paint.

[@eileencollins3126]

I bought the Quin Gold Deep before the Quin Gold because my local art store was out of Quin Gold for what seemed like an eternity. I really like both colors....

[@contactgala]

I use quin burnt orange to mix my dark greens! It makes some of the most beautiful greens

[@JayNathanWatercolor]

That's good to hear. I'll have to try it.

[@michelel3372]

Thank you for doing these videos. They are so helpful.

[@JayNathanWatercolor]

You're very welcome. I'm glad you find them helpful 😊🙏

[@patti3d]

Looks so pretty all these colors together. I love and have in my palette Azo yellow, Verona gold ochre, quin gold and quin burnt orange. My favorites.

[@JayNathanWatercolor]

It always looks nice seeing the earths painted out next to eachother. Do you find the Verona gold ochre to be a bit weak or is it just like that from the dot card? 🙏

[@patti3d]

@@JayNathanWatercolor yes it is a bit weak but that can be a good thing when you need it. It has a nice color also. I do find the Earth colors to be a bit harder to rewet and not as vibrant, but I guess that’s just part of working with Earth tones.

[@patti3d]

Also, looking forward to part 2🥰

[@janechin76]

I love DS’ yellow ochre. IMO, it’s less chalky and “softer” compared to Holbein’s I love Q. burnt orange in general, it’s my basic Orange watercolor 😍

[@JayNathanWatercolor]

Thank you for watching and commenting 🙏

[@sonyaoart]

oooh, these are my kind of colours! I don’t have Quin burnt orange but it’s on my wish list, such a beautiful colour

[@JayNathanWatercolor]

It really is a very beautiful paint 😊

[@JessicaCEP]

I have a bunch of quin golds…I love them…so I have both the regular and the deep one, as well as a full pan of the PO49…

[@alexehrhardt1104]

I love love love the Garnet Genuine! It’s my favorite earth red color. I love the granulation and it’s just the perfect hue for what I want to do with it. I also have the Brown Madder from Winsor and Newton that is a pretty good one, but when I first started with it, I thought it was hard to work with because of its lowish tinting strength. I’m better with it now, but the Garnet Genuine is much easier to work with, since it’s higher tinting than the other. I also want to try Raw Sienna Light, Mars Yellow, and the Venetian and Indian Reds! They look so yummy!

[@Renilou2]

Love your videos! My Verona Gold Ochre is weak too. I really used to love the Quin Sienna. It was 1st made with only a 2 pigment mix. PO49 and PR209. That was before 2012. I wanted more but found it looked a bit different and learned they discontinued PO49 so was replaced with the PO48 & PY150 mix instead. I now have a few tubes of it I'm not using anymore. Its OK but seems more a zingy orange than before.

[@JayNathanWatercolor]

Thank you very much 🙏

[@Christine_R]

Daniel Smith's earth tones... it's a lot. But some of them are really nice and I think I will order a few to test them myself.

[@JayNathanWatercolor]

Haha there really are a lot of earth colors. 🤣 I definitely recommend trying them. Especially if you like granulation.

[@Christine_R]

@@JayNathanWatercolor I have the dot card myself. It's almost scary to swatch all of these earth tones at once. 😁 And then there are some sparkly iridescent paints that Daniel Smith offers.

[@JayNathanWatercolor]

@@Christine_R I'm not sure if I'm going to swatch out the iridescent paints or not. Don't know if many people would watch.

[@jennw6809]

I have a few of these: Monte Amiata Natural Sienna, Quin Gold, and Quin Burnt Orange. I am surprised to see how different the "regular" Raw Sienna is to the one I bought. I don't see the point of Quin Gold Deep, when you can just buy PY150 and PO48, and mix whatever depth you want. I did buy the quin gold from them when I first started, because everyone raves about it so much, and I had no idea about PY 150 back then! I have no idea who uses that Quinacradone Sienna either, but perhaps that's just quin gold with quin red added? Maybe I'll have to try mixing that just for fun. The Bronzite is strangely attractive to me as a mixing color, although I absolutely shun the Primateks now. But it makes me curious. The Goethite -- Jane Blundell raves about it so much, but bleh, it does nothing for me either. Apparently it's the perfect color to paint something in Australia. And yes the surprise favorite is the Enviro Friendly Yellow Iron Oxide. It looks very nice, does it granulate?

[@przemekkulesza3242]

Of Transparent Oxide Yellows, I prefer Rembrandt and R. Szmal which look very dirty and let me darken other yellows. In the D. Smith range, it's just another ochre. In itself it's nice but not very useful. My favorites (and I have them) are Burnt Yellow Ochre and Burgundy Red Ochre. Regarding Quin. Gold Deep it's nice but I have not found any use for it.

[@JayNathanWatercolor]

Thank you for watching and commenting 🙏😊

[@RANHEN1]

Thanks for the info. I don't like the Genuins, they're so weak.

[@JayNathanWatercolor]

You're welcome 🙏. The primateks are beautiful though.

[@RANHEN1]

@@JayNathanWatercolor I wonder what your favorite pallet would be in 2022. Your choise of color and brand per color. Maybe you can do an video on that some day?
