As a designer I do appreciate the fugitive colors as I scan my work ❤️Thank you for such an informative video. I have never had any watercolors from the brand before but now I’m interested

[@PaintinHiding]

aha! thank you for letting us know! i think that’s very useful to know as many look for lightfast but someone else might share your interests! 😆👍🏻👍🏻

[@angelicamartacahyaningtyas9083]

I have PB1 from White Nights. In masstone it looks so deep, rich, warm (much warmer than Ultramarine, on the borderline of blue and violet) and so gorgeous. This is the color that I would call Royal Blue.

[@PaintinHiding]

oh is that so? i guess PB15 red shade is not comparable then?

[@angelicamartacahyaningtyas9083]

@@PaintinHiding I don't know if PB1 have different shades or not. But the Kusakabe's swatch looks too green compared to my PB1. Mine doesn't look like PB15 at all. Jane Blundell''s swatch of White Nights PB1 is pretty accurate.

[@E4Alabbasy]

I actually Adore pv3 and pv1, I don't care much for lightfastness at all and I believe many don't as they prefer to scan their work rather than selling original paintings. Thank you for covering their new colors I can't wait to try the new colors 😍

[@PaintinHiding]

really?! that's very interesting~ thank you for being a voice for people who scan their work!

[@awatercolourist]

I’m glad to see PB71 and PY159 becoming more popular.

[@hannahthufvesson]

Same! I love those two! 🥰 And hi! 👋

[@awatercolourist]

@@hannahthufvesson OMG! It’s Hannah! Welcome back to KZbin! It’s so nice to see you again! And yes, they are nice. Helen Campbell uploaded a video recently in which she used brown granulating paints from Deep Deep Light to paint Honesty plants. I might try it using the PBr33s.

[@hannahthufvesson]

@@awatercolourist Thank you It's so nice to see you as well! 🥰 Thanks for the tip! I'm gonna check it out. Oh, that sounds like a great idea! I really love the PBr33 but have yet to put it to use in painting. Am really looking forward to exploring it!

[@awatercolourist]

@@hannahthufvesson The discontinued PBr33 is similar to the paint used by Helen Campbell, that is why I thought of painting the honesty plants.

[@verditerthistle]

oooooh orchid pink looks gorgeous!! the potters pink variations look like they’re going to be so much fun to compare too :0 i’m only familiar with mica making paints shimmer, so if it’s the pigment PBk23 itself that’s sparkly then that’s so interesting!! /gen thanks for keeping us updated on all the latest watercolor news!!! :D

[@PaintinHiding]

im soooo into orchid pink too! aww that’s very kind of you~ i have my viewers to thank for keeping me up to date as well 🥰

[@berolinastrassmann]

0:51 There are indeed cobalts in the new set of granulating colours. This doesn't bother me at all...but someone else might want to avoid them. All colours can be toxic (i.e. if ingested or rubbed in eyes) but not if they are used as intended and not consumed.

[@PaintinHiding]

yes, agreed what u said here. be warned everyone!

[@NonsenseMediatedDecay]

Exactly. Btw, cobalts (except for the violets) are very safe even if ingested. They are not great to inhale as a powder, as is any fine powder. Google baker‘s lung;)

[@NonsenseMediatedDecay]

Wow, that is a very exciting release. Arguably, the most exciting one in a while. The fugitive pigments may be good for illustrators, as they are very vibrant.

[@PaintinHiding]

aaah you're right, they are vibrant indeed. maybe designers as well :D

[@richellealbano4030]

How I wish these are available where I live. Thanks for this vid 😊

[@chopin4525]

Same boat, I feel you! With VAT added on the price+shipping combo shopping in Japan is out of the question for me. :(

[@PaintinHiding]

the kusakabe harmonia range made its way to aliexpress and amazon so i think if we give it some time, they’ll eventually become available :)

[@chopin4525]

@@PaintinHiding Thanks, I'll check them!❤ I am a sucker for Zirconium Blue and it would be a dream to stock a couple of tubes. :)

[@LisaSandboge]

Thank you for this! I had no idea Kusakabe made watercolor tubes and these look lovely! Well, I’m not that interested in the fugitive colors, but some of the granulating ones are so lovely! Kremer pigments have the Zirconium blue in their range of handmade watercolor pans. However, I really want to get my hands one a tube with that same pigment!

[@LauraSaintCroix]

I’m a big fan of PB1 and am very interested in this as the only brand I’ve saw using it was WhiteNights. It’s a really amazing blue for me, I use it even more than Ultramarine, mainly alongside the granulating yellow oxide from DS, the pigments separate and the painting will have both blue and yellow without it turning green. It’s magical hahaha. It’s sadly fugitive tho, even tho I scan my works; I’m gonna try your replacement too!!

[@angelicamartacahyaningtyas9083]

Initially I'm an anti-fugitive person, but after I try PB1 I must admit that it is the prettiest blue paint exist.

[@PaintinHiding]

oh! thank you so much for sharing this info! :D

[@candidcrafter]

My watercolor collection is pretty small so this was the first time I’m seeding some of those pigments. They all look really pretty

[@MirandaWatsonArt]

Ooooh, so pretty! I'm interested in the same ones you are. Can't wait until you get them!

[@PaintinHiding]

great minds think alike! hehe~ 🥰😘

[@hannahthufvesson]

I have a PR23e from Kremer which is truly _pale_ :) If I were to guess I'd wager that the middle one in this range is closer to Roman Szmal (and maybe W&N as well), and the pale one closer to Kremer.

[@PaintinHiding]

wow! paler than roman szmal! that's insaaane!

[@hannahthufvesson]

@@PaintinHiding Haha, yes, I was fairly surprised by it when it arrived! 😂 (It was supposed to say "PR233" above, btw.)

[@JBurt-wj4rq]

Thank you

[@awatercolourist]

I tried both Schmincke’s two PBr33 versions. The granulation is very nice.

[@PaintinHiding]

lucky!

[@awatercolourist]

@@PaintinHiding Yes! What are the odds of finding the discontinued PBr33!!

[@jennw6809]

Not sure how I missed this for a year! Thoroughly enjoy your choices here. I would not mind your palette at all and I totally agree with you CYM choices, and I also prefer PR209 for a "warm" red. I do have a thing for DaVinci Raw Sienna, over the TYO (and I do appreciate some semi-opaque choices in my palette). I'd probably use DaVinci's Cobalt Teal instead of turquoise. And a Raw Umber rather than TRO. I'd probably skip black, or maybe use Mission Gold Cobalt Black which is amazing. I kinda can't live without a nice cool Raw Umber though... I like Daniel Smith's, but I want to try Qor as well. Another staple in my palette is Indanthrone -- Qor's is amazing. And I do really have a thing for purple, W&N makes a great Cobalt Violet and Schmincke makes a wonderful Manganese Violet. Oh and how can I live without PG26. Funny enough, I'm trying to decide on how to fill a 33 well porcelain palette from Meeden right now.

[@jennw6809]

OMG and also DaVinci's Violet Iron Oxide and also Qor's Hooker's Green!!!Good thing I have more than 12 spots LOL

[@PaintinHiding]

this is weird. i see this comment of yours that im guessing ur commenting on my signature palette vid but somehow im seeing this comment under my kusakabe new pigments vid. very odd. anyway, i use mijello cobalt black instead of pbk11 too. both granulating blacks afterall

[@jennw6809]

@@PaintinHiding You're right, I was trying to comment on your signature palette video. My technology has been acting weird all day! KZbin keeps making my window small when I was trying to type comments!

[@keepyourshoesathedoor]

I want to try this brand out oh my!

[@awatercolourist]

PR236 is a naphthol pigment; it might not be lightfast.

[@awatercolourist]

I like that they have three versions of PR233, although it might be seen as being excessive.

[@PaintinHiding]

me too! i've always liked the paler / pinker version as opposed to the deep/brown version. but i definitely know they all have their place in different uses

[@awatercolourist]

@@PaintinHiding Indeed!

[@tolekz3689]

Chrome orchid 🩷💜🩷💜🩷💜

[@shadowguard3578]

This was so interesting. I’ll wait until the end of the year, the end of my watercolor no buy (although I broke it twice already in March/April), and see if I’m still curious about these colors. Thank you for sharing.

[@PaintinHiding]

i'm on that no buy too ;P although i dont know if/when these will be available to me. the harmonia ones took a reallyy long time so i wont be surprised if i have to wait for a year LOL

[@shadowguard3578]

@@PaintinHiding lack of availability is great for the no buy! 😂

[@bleuvertetforetdepin7308]

I will definitly keep an eye on them , zirconium is not really "necessary" when PB35 is available , but i would really like to try it one day .

[@PaintinHiding]

agreed, if i didn’t already like pb35 so much, i might be more interested but im really ok with pb35 🥰

[@filsartjourney]

You are a bad influence 😂 The colors are sooo pretty! 3 potters pink thats a lot. I like that these colors are single pigments and you can mix on your own. I'm keeping an eye out for these. The colors chrome orchid, the zink chrome colors, antimon grey and cobalt nickel grey's have caught my intrest. Are gonna try these colors out?

[@PaintinHiding]

haha, sorry not sorry ;P well, if i can get my hands on a dot card or small pans, then definitely i want to try them all. but i dont think i'd pay for the tubes, i can't finish them fast enough.

[@filsartjourney]

@@PaintinHiding I will send you a message!

[@PaintinHiding]

@@filsartjourney oh? sure :)

[@Kliffot]

Interesting new pigments !

[@PaintinHiding]

They are!

[@ari_9354]

you know what i'll be getting, the PY159 and PBr33 on how rare they are as a single pigment color. chrome orchid is interesting but it's untested how lightfast it is but i might get it just to try. oh some correction on the shiny blizzard the sparkle is actually from PW20 not PW6, i think there's a type on your swatch card

[@PaintinHiding]

OMG ur right! that PW20! oh nooo! D: i wonder if i can correct it in post. thank you ari! i wonder if kusakabe's py159 will be easier to rewet than schmincke. someone said chrome orchid is a napthol so it might be fugitive too~ so sad~

[@ari_9354]

@@PaintinHiding i hope the py159 isn’t too hard, if it is then i just add glycerin.

[@E4Alabbasy]

If anyone is interested there is a channel by the name palette adventure that just posted a video swatching the new paints!

[@PaintinHiding]

ooohhh im excited to seeee, thank you letting us all know! im sure everyone is as curious! 😘

[@Arusei]

I think there is a sizable audience of Japanese artists who use "designer" paints to be transitioned into a digital media and if not printable formats, so fugitive paints are usually not an issue. I believe special effect granulating colors are also trending in Japan right now, so the extra staining colors are more options to mix with granulating colors as they tend to separate better in mixes?

[@PaintinHiding]

i think u are spot on with those observations!

[@diadumenos82]

Holbein did a better job about new colours (it’s only my opinion), names and effect were amazing, these Kusakabe are… not so inspired. However the Harmonia version (Manadarin Carnelian, Gold Citrine, Conch Pearl….) are beautiful, better than these new pigments. By the way THANKS for this video ❤

[@PaintinHiding]

well, these are single pigments after all, the granulating ones are definitely more exciting :)

[@martinanelsonartandpsychol6478]

I am interested exactly in the same colors as you, however I don’t think I can buy them here in Austria.

[@PaintinHiding]

it's only just been released in japan so i think it'll be several months before it makes it anywhere outside. however, the harmonia sets eventually got on amazon and aliexpress so i think you can keep an eye on those platforms as it's likely they'll eventually end up there too.

[@calendae1827]

Thank you for the news| Both granulating sets are super nice, but I'm so confused by the third one. I guess it's intended for people who prefer to scan their art and working digital after that? Similar to poster colors or certain designer gouache

[@PaintinHiding]

i know riiight? it was particularly confusing for me as their regular watercolor range has the more lightfast options. who knows, maybe these fugitive ones will be cheaper?

[@bleuvertetforetdepin]

Ohhh, i can't watch now, but it sounds good. 🥳

[@PaintinHiding]

there’s a few new pigments! 😘

[@hippopotamusbosch]

Do these use gum Arabic binder?

[@PaintinHiding]

hippoooooo~ 😆 i believe their regular watercolour range uses gum arabic so i can only assume these do too.

[@awatercolourist]

I’m losing my mojo 😢. I’m no longer first! I should concentrate less on life and more on KZbin.
