Earth Yellow Watercolours - Colour Comparison Series - Mina Does Art Stuff

[@marymccaslin1690]

I happily found your series of different color videos and very much appreciate them. I now believe I'm just a collector of paints and have enough to last me if I died in a 100 years from now. These have given me an appreciation for what I own and confirms that I'll never need another tube of paint!

So helpful--your friendly and straight forward tone is delightful.

The more of these comparisons i watch the more i find myself gravitating towards the Daniel Smith watercolors. I’m loving all these videos. It’s a nice way to see how pigments can be used differently between companies and colors.

PY42 is the synthetic version. Took me a while to get it right too. LOL I'm not big on yellow ochres. I always reach for Da Vinci's nickel azo yellow. Love, love, love it

The PY42 is the synthetic version. Early in my watercoloring, I bought Schmincke Transparent Yellow Ochre PY42 and hated it so much. It was similar to the White Nights ones you showed. It's just a bad paint (or maybe it was a bad batch, but I saw someone else trustworthy hate it too). It made me hate earth yellows for a long time. I bought the Daniel Smith Monte Amiata Raw Sienna but never knew what to do with it, probably put off by my Schmincke experience. Then, I got the Mjello Pure Pigment 24 set and found myself surprised to enjoy the Yellow Ochre #2. Then a Euro friend wanted to try DaVinci Raw Sienna and so I got us a tube to share. I fell in love. I really like the earth yellows now especially for painting fruit. Earth yellows are also amazing to mix with phthalo green for landscapes or flower stems. The DaVinci Raw Sienna Deep is really their name for Transparent Yellow Oxide. It also mixes nice greens. But I far prefer their regular Raw Sienna from PBr7. I also have their Gold Ochre and it's really lovely. I heard you say in another video you didn't have your Mjello tubes anymore, did you not care for them?
