MAYAN BLUE GENUINE - Daniel Smith Primatek | The Paint Show 19

[@ulutiu]

The reason why Mayan Blue & Pyrrol Scarlet neutralize each other is following: - MB is akin to turquoise therefore it reflects mostly violet to greenish part of the visible spectrum - PS on the other hand reflects mostly orange to red part of the visible spectrum - when mixed together MB absorbs what reflects PS and vice versa - hence result is a grey

[@LironYan]

That's a great explanation - thank you for sharing (: 🙏🏼 Next time I'll get a hunch I'll think about it more deeply.

[@u.sonomabeach6528]

Pyrrol Scarlet also neutralizes well with Phthalo Blue and, to a lesser extent Prussian Blue. If I'm not mistaken Smalt is another 'blue' that works well

@@u.sonomabeach6528 thank you

[@Donna_G]

I love Mayan Blue Genuine. I mentioned in a previous comment that I painted a winter scene using only this paint. But, since it has granulation qualities that DS Phthalo Blue does not, it can be used for landscape scenes that are heavy on the greenery.

[@LironYan]

That's a great idea, haven't thought about using the granulations that way. I'll probably give this a shot with a monochromatic winter scene painting too (:

[@ElenaVans]

So I maybe binge watched your channel, I am super happy with this series. :)

[@LironYan]

Haha The Paint Show is highly addictive. I have to add a warning 😉 Thank you 😊🙏🏼

[@madipacheco]

I have this color and never liked it much... Now I'm inspired to give it another go ;)

[@Tessanna12]

Hi, Liron! Just subscribed to your channel. 😎 I've only watched 3 or 4 vids, but I am LOVING everything about it...your emphasis on color and paint (I'm a total geek, but I could watch color swatching all day [not to mention actually doing it myself] 😂lolololol)...your ART is fantastic...seeing the sites in your outside videos is so fun! I've loved every video so far and learned a lot, already. You have a natural talent for teaching. And your English is impeccable!!! So, ty for your time! ...back to more of your videos, now hehe

[@LironYan]

Haha welcome aboard and thank you so much for your kind comment (: I'm really happy you enjoy my vids, it's the best thing I can ask for! Will soon post more videos outside.

[@u.sonomabeach6528]

One thing I appreciate about Liron is the fact that he is so attentive to his audience and really cares about them and comes off genuine and passionate

[@carysfaerie]

It mixes some gorgeous colours

[@LironYan]

Yes, I was quite surprised actually.

[@TheJudeJane]

I love this demo featuring a gorgeous color. Thanks for taking the time to introduce us to your "true new friend" - Mayan Blue Genuine!

[@LironYan]

Haha so happy you enjoyed! 😊🙏🏼 Thank you so much

[@sharonsands708]

Thank you, I appreciate your videos. You're a fantastic teacher, that's thorough and knowledgeable.

[@imissmypencils]

Nice review. I try to never mix Primatek because they always create mud, weird greys or splotchy blacks. I like the greens this one makes

[@gildejesus3714]

Mayan blue is supposed to be done with anil(=indigo natural) and a mineral named "paligorskita"( i think is the way it writes). Tkx for posting.

[@ColleenM61]

Oooh, I have been waiting to see this one in depth! :) Thanks! Nicelt done Liron, I like that you do interesting ways of showing us the paints!

[@LironYan]

Thank you 😊 🙏🏼 Happy you enjoyed it! I wasn't sure if I should cut some parts out, as it was becoming a rather long video. I'm happy I left most of it in then!

[@ColleenM61]

So many us addicted to color :) paint reviews tend to leave us wanting more. So I know I like the longer ones!

[@DavidMiltonJones]

Hi Liron, could you tell me where you buy Daniel Smith? is there a place in TA i don't know about! There's a guy in Jaffa who is the sole distributor for Schminke, but DS? Do you buy on the web?

[@LironYan]

It's hard to get them here. I used to order from Amazon, but they no longer ship to Israel. Try ordering from Jackson's. They do deliveries and I heard the price is great. And if not - I'd recommend Schmincke.

[@gents6379]

Thanks, Liron - fantastic video!

[@LironYan]

Thank you Gary, happy you enjoyed this one (:

[@gents6379]

Liron Yanconsky I also signed up for your drawing course. An really enjoying it.

[@2lmdi]

Thank you Liron... excellent review. I have mixed feelings about this one. I don't like mixing pigments generally but this Mayan does look more like a convenience color to me as there are so many ways I could mix it from what is already on my pallete. Thus, I don't know if I would invest in it.

[@crystalinedreams6039]

hi pat, what i did is buy the 6 5ml tube set of ds primatek. there are some nice colors in the set besides the mayan blue gen. and it saves investing in whole tubes till you decide if you really want to. you may not be interested at all but i just had to since i love crystals anyway and putting them in paints is just heaping on the goodness.

[@LironYan]

It's so similar to indigo too, that I wouldn't bother if I already got that one. @ Crystaline Dreams - that's a good point. I may give the whole set a chance in the future.

[@flana1609]

I don't know how they made the color in the tube, but since I live in the central America, I have seen them making the blue dyed fabric. They get the indigo dye from the leaves of a plant and activate the color in a clay mud. The secret is in the mud they say. It's not any mud. It is interesting that they mentioned light-fastness, because the original indigo blue that the Mayan use is known for their light-fastness, it can withstand time and weather. Honestly, I don't think the 2 justified the power of Mayan Blue 😂 It is a very interesting color, and the fact that they made it into a tube. There's a thing with this Mayan Blue, EVERYONE who makes it thinks it'a long lost recipe, and found/redeveloped/rediscovered by their company with this super ancient and secret technique to produce the paint/dye. I would love to be more specific with the type of plant and clay but they didn't tell me which kind 😂😂😂 The Mayan also made a more violet variation of that dye, but the bright indigo is the most long lasting one.

[@LironYan]

Haha it's the "marketing romance" around these paints 😛 They always create interesting stories on how they are made. I would actually love to see the violet variation. It sounds beautiful. Does it have a different name, or a color it's similar to? I'd love to check it out.

[@flana1609]

Alright so according to what my friend, who does fabric dye. She told me there are 3 major colors, and it turns out they are not that big of a deal like all these rediscovered recipe. 1) Fustic plant dye, the older plant and younger plant makes a bit of variation, but they are bright yellow to orangeish color. They once used this dye to make the khaki military uniform. 2) Logwood dye which produce bright purple to indigo color. 3) Indigofera Suffruticosa dye which makes the most famous Mayan blue. You should google the title "Indigenous Plants to Produce Colorants and Dye" for some interesting articles too. I'm fascinated with this whole Maya thing, and people always like them make them sound like a long lost civilization that just somehow disappeared one random day, but it's way less mysterious than that, and a lot more brutal than we thought.

[@crystalinedreams6039]

ahhh my fav architecture, i love old historical ruins! thanks for the wonderful review, i have this color and now i am going to have to start using it more. ;)

[@LironYan]

Perfect, I'm happy I chose that type of structure then (:

[@eh1579]

Scientist worldpigmentday analyzed the amazonite genuine paint. the pigment in the paint turned out to be 90% phthalo green. not much mineral in it ... Maybe Not the only colour

[@eleanortaylor4389]

This color is really pretty and it reminds me of a sort of turquoise color. Might have to get it, lol!

[@LironYan]

Yes, it's very greenish, I'm really enjoying it 🙂👌🏼

[@LisaSandboge]

Great review, thanks! Made me buy a tube! I'd love to see you review the other DS mayan colors. I'm so curious about these! :)

[@LironYan]

I hope to share some other Primateks soon! (: So happy to hear this helped

[@LisaSandboge]

Yay, Primateks are great!

[@sooart5333]

Thanks for sharing !!

[@LironYan]

My pleasure!

[@aremedyproject9569]

Love Mayan blue. Try Lapis Lazuli too. You’ll like it. Both are so juicy to play with. 😊👍

[@mikaingendaa4892]

Would love to see a paint show about potters pink 🙂

[@LironYan]

It's written down for me, I'll make sure to do it at some point (:

[@Roslyngal]

Ooo yes, I second this idea! Especially if you can get hold of a few brands of it- they can be quite different!

[@jerryogorman5895]

Great video..many thanks

[@LironYan]

Thank you, my pleasure 😊 Another episode with a blue paint coming out really soon!

[@MarcGebhard]

Here's a link to a recipe to make your own maya blue. www.nataliestopka.com/goingson/postid-6#:~:text=After%20finely%20grinding%2C%20weigh%2010,turn%20a%20uniform%20blue%20color.

[@Vgladstone1]

I think it is made from indigo that has been treated.

[@richardlumpkin4607]

Commenting while watching but wow, lots of green. Almost turquoise. But you say it can be lifted. My turquoise is staining, even permanent. I agree with the greens. It would be a great jumping off point.

[@LironYan]

Yes, I was able to lift it quite nicely. Will keep you updated on the greens I mix with it. I'm really curious to try it on-location (:

[@marsbeads]

Hi there, Primatek is pronounced with "short i" as in prim not prime. : )

[@LironYan]

Thank you for letting me know 😊🙏🏼 Will try to remember for the next time!
