Mixing Daniel Smith Primatek | DO THEY MIX WELL | Playing with my watercolours

I have heard some KZbin or artists say that Daniel Smith prima tech watercolour paints do not mix well together and become money, so I decided to try it myself… To the contrary, they are beautiful together. I hope you enjoy watching me play and see how these watercolours interact with each other. Drop me a comment if you love them too!

Welcome to the wonderful world of Daniel Smith. I love them above all. I couldn't live without my primateks.

[@ignisdivinus7669]

Thanks for sharing. All colours they’re just gorgeous!

[@jbachelor123]

Ok I have to say I loved watching you mixing your colors. You’re so cute and funny with all your amazement. Wish I could see the face that goes with that voice.

[@Deankut]

These were beautiful! Thanks for swatching them!

[@mikedimples]

Your excitement is contagious. I'm off to paint now!

[@carolchristoffel1075]

Good job as these are wild and crazy mixes! Some mix up lovely and some not so much. It takes time to swatch and play to find out how to do it. BUT I LOVE IT.....

[@OneTrueWord1988]

I absolutely loved this video! The beautiful colors, the soft and calming music, your dog playing with his bone - just wonderful! I really needed this relaxing break tonight. Thank you!

[@Lklkpoi]

Now that’s exactly the way a swatching session should go!! That was great! And I’m set on purchasing these two sets that I’ve had my eye on for months now, thank You!💐

[@marsbeads]

Rose Doscher I tried these colors and they are beautiful. I found a way to afford trying them and I have slowly built my palette. www.etsy.com/shop/MySequinEye?ref=ss_profile

[@AndiDesigner]

Thank you Rose! 💕🌹

[@WordsofaReader]

Is there anything as relaxing and satisfying as mixing and swatching new watercolours? Love it! I’ve only played around with Daniel Smiths more specialty colours like the primatek and their more interesting mixes like moonstone but I think I might have to invest in the primaries after watching this. They’re just so freaking beautiful!

[@AndiDesigner]

WordsofaReader Thank you, and I agree! I just got three new colours; Quinacridone Orange, Undersea Green and Carbazole Violet - to die for! I’m making a monogram wreath and will Gold it with 24k gold for my father’s birthday and using those colours, will post the video soon ;)

[@raymatthews4319]

@@AndiDesigner Can you tell me if Carbazole violet is permanent?

[@ajoydas-Watch-It]

Coco Bee does exactly that extremely well in his stress free pictures. Love waching those too.

[@Stacy_SJA]

That IS watercoloring for me 😆😆

[@stephaniepinkley2244]

I am sooo excited for my primateks to arrive. After watching this, I want the primaries too! Those colors are out of this world! I LOVE how bright they are. The primateks...UGHHHH sooo good you can't beat that texture. I specifically wanted to see the Amethyst because it is my birth stone as well. :D

[@oliferous]

The primatek line is AWESOME!! And i LOVE Moon glow, how it can separate that into that lovely blueish hue! So pretty!!

[@susinok]

I just bought this set and have been playing all day. I love granular paints, and I am so pleased with these. I will be getting a few 15ml tubes when mine runs out.

[@kathyvangogh4034]

Who needs a man when you have Daniel Smith Primatek!? Loved your video. I feel exactly the same way when it comes to colour. Edited to add - you have to try Kyanite!

[@VanmeterFL]

I'm glad I am blessed enough to have both. Love your comment, thought.

[@feliciaharris7372]

I don't know how to mark this video as loved, but I LOVED it. I'm new to creative play, watercolors, everything and these colors are sooooo yummy! Watching you mix and play, with these beautiful colors, along with your sounds of delight was relaxing and exciting, lol. So glad I discovered you❤❤

[@AndiDesigner]

Felicia Harris Well, this is the sweetest comment and it totally made my day!! Thank you Felicia, for being such a sweetheart and letting me know. Comments like this help keep me motivated to post, as my channel is not monetized, except for a few Amazon links ;) 💕💕😘💐👍🏼

[@feliciaharris7372]

Andi Design 😍😍😍 Yes ABSOLUTELY keep posting please❤

[@jewelldean3775]

Daniel smith paints are exceptional no matter whichever colors you use. Thanks for the review

[@owllovingapril]

If you like Moonglow and those Primatek colors, I dare you to get the Primatek Kyanite! OMG it is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. Moonglow is my favorite DS paint, but throw in Kyanite and it is over the moon.

[@AndiDesigner]

Thank you for the suggestion, I will buy that one for sure!

[@ajoydas-Watch-It]

If they produce money when mixing em count me in. Best Type Oh of the Day. Looking at some of Brenda Swensons latest artworks using both sets (Primery 6 and Primatek 6 set) has one thinking differrent. Ordered both to put in my new Santa Fe 12 half Pan Brass Travel Box. They deserve a happy home. Enjoyed the Demo thx.

[@sanayavg]

You are the only one I’ve seen on KZbin other than jean Haines who knows how to swatch good.....primateks wake up with water and it’s so irritating to see hundreds of youtubers swatching into small squares....humans are so sheep! I’m subscribing to your channel coz u seem like a person I’d love to meet....intelligent and wild....😎

[@carolinesmyth127]

You've probably found out by now, but here's a tip for those bursting-out-of-the-tube colours... I use a cocktail stick or a matchstick to get as much as I can from the lid and around the thread and transfer it to a piece of paper, and will use that first... Then I get a damp cloth and wipe the thread clean and I rinse the cap on water. If I don't do this, the cap just gets stuck on the tube. It's a bit annoying but the up side is, you know that your tube is full :) When Andi met Danny 😂 Subbed because I like the way you played with the colours rather than be formulaic...

[@sanayavg]

So, this video is 2 years old....have u got the same results as in this paper? I doubt it. Sometimes arches doesn’t show the granulations....

[@Stacy_SJA]

Have you figured out a new system on opening your tubes? I usually keep the top upright for a lil… hoping the paint goes down into tube… but mess happens 😆

[@kathyvangogh4034]

Who needs a man when you have Daniel Smith Primatek!? Loved your video. I feel exactly the same way when it comes to colour.

[@mariakellner2221]

The amethyst is very highly pigmented i love it,moonglow easy mixed with ultramarine blue pb29,viridian pg18,red pr177,i have used other reds ,i love the lunar black pbk11 it's so granulating is very interesting mixed with other colors ,lunar blue is made from pthalo blue pb15 and lunar black pbk11,some of the colors in haven't seen switched, tfs

[@AndiDesigner]

Maria Kellner You’re welcome, I adore them too!

[@BrendaAdams007]

Thanks! I now can't wait to buy some. It was lots of fun watching your reactions. OH, BTW: in someone's video online they said to shake the tube before opening it for the first time. They said that the additives often settle at the opening end...or something like that. You might want to give that a try.

[@AndiDesigner]

Thanks for the comment. Some of the tubes I got are too small to shake, they’re just too full to move, if you know what I mean... lol 😆

[@feliciaharris7372]

And Elf is one of my favorites 😍

[@judiththeriault2742]

Thank you Andi... I know during your video you keep wondering how to avoid a tube of paint from oozing out more than you intend. I don't know the answer to that but this may help you if you havent figured it out already. They sell empty watercolor paint tins, the best i think are magnetic and the individual pans can be filled with your tube paints, let dry 24 hrs. and use as a usually watercolor paint tin... especially when using Daniel Smith paints the paint releases quickly with water, But get a non magnetic pan for each of the two varieties of tigers eye because it is magnetic also

[@AndiDesigner]

Thank you. I found that squeezing them on the sides from the bottom actually works to suck the paint back in.....but upon first opening, squirtage is inevitable....just just gotta deal with it. Lol! Thanks for your comment 💕

[@YourMajesty143]

I wouldn't do this with mineral-based paints like the Primateks, since they are hard to rewet once dry.

[@MatheusFerreira-mu6lu]

i'm in true love with the rhodonite and the amethist ones!! but unfortunately i can't afford anything from Daniel Smith * cries out loud *

[@marsbeads]

Matheus Ferreira I found a way to try different colors at affordable prices. Check out this seller: www.etsy.com/shop/MySequinEye?ref=ss_profile

[@mariakellner2221]

When tubes are over filled like that I hold the base of the tube between thumb and forefinger and pull down at the corner it sucks back in.

[@AndiDesigner]

Maria Kellner Thank you, yes, I found squeezing the tiny tubes from the bottom actually sucks it back in.....but there was no doing that upon first opening...it just HAD to come out! Lol

[@marsbeads]

Wonderful swatching session. Beautiful colors. Piemontite is pronounced pee- mon-tite. 😊

[@seraby7151]

love the reaction, so many ooh's and ahhs hahah I love it! I'm probably still gonna stick to cheaper brands like holbein and mijello, but their primatek line and unique colors like moonglow are to die for. Might try DS for their primatek ones; amazonite amethyst and piemontite is already in my bucketlist :) Kinda weird that your piemontite looks like orange-y burnt sienna, whereas it looks like redish brown on the jane blundell and other google searches.

[@seraby7151]

also, I wonder if you can mix hematite and amethyst to make something similar to moonglow, cause that would be a money saver :)

[@AndiDesigner]

If you want to mix Moonglow, here are the colours and you can make it; Anthraquinoid Red, Ultramarine Blue and Viridian :)

[@glorioskiola]

cloveraby amethyst is very expensive. You can get the moonglow in a stick from USA on-line art supply stores, like Jerry’s Artarama, Cheap Joe’s, . . All the Daniel Smith sticks are about $8.50, but not all the colors come in sticks. You can break the sticks into pieces and put them in a pan, and rewet just like other pan watercolors.

[@TheWipal]

gently swishes gum out but oooooo ur a steeper, u leave ur brush soaking oof! XD 😲

[@DianaTrout]

I passed on the Mayan Blue but now I want it!

[@AndiDesigner]

I adore it. I’m paint8ng a goddess right now and her cloak is Mayan Blue and amethyst with dots of gold....wet on wet. Will upload it soon ;)

[@DianaTrout]

I'll look forward to seeing that, Andi. And also, I think the PrimaTeks rewet and mix with other colors beautifully!

[@AndiDesigner]

Diana Trout I just got three new colours Quinacridone burnt orange, undersea green, and carbazole Violet - LOVE!

[@AndiDesigner]

Diana Trout I posted the gilded letters I did for my Dad, Diana....check it out, it’s the WE wreath video ;) I used primarily Mayan blue for the ‘W’...

[@森下典樹]

LOL that orgasm sound😂 But totally understand

[@desdenyt4842]

This is the way that I've been sucking paint back in the tube... from Following the White Rabbit kzbin.info/www/bejne/j2SknWmphrigd7M

[@MatheusFerreira-mu6lu]

i can't live with the fact that i will never have the chance to use these

[@AndiDesigner]

Matheus Ferreira They’re only $8-12 for a smaller tube, you can’t come up with that? Even just if you buy one, you’ll be happy!

[@annepercival7814]

Green Apatite does not behave well on Rough paper..separates into ugly brown particles

[@stephaniereed8869]

The colors you mention are not primatek so I'm confused

[@graigsmith6734]

A better way, pan watercolors. A lot easier. I wish Daniel Smith had their whole line of colors in pan watercolors. Some of them don’t work so well when poured.

[@DavidSmith-lx3tz]

Fewer ooh’s and ahh’s but name the colors!

[@selfiopath1982]

This review is a bit misleading when it comes to the mixing ability of primatek colors. The primatek greens, for instance, are gorgeous stand out colors, but go haywire when you mixing them with primary or secondary colors to create different shades of green. They just make mud! The summary of this video should be like this: the primateks are gorgeous colors that are meant to be used strait out of the tube only. To understand such things the reviewer needs to be a bit more professional watercolorist rather than just someone who loves to buy paint and go Wow! I just want to warn people who watch this video from the wrong purchase

[@AndiDesigner]

Selfio ' I wholeheartedly disagree. The greens or any other of the colours mix beautifully and have never once made “mud” for me. As shown in my video, people can see for themselves how they mix, I let the greens and purples deep into each other and again, I found them to mix beautifully. If you find they make mud, I look forward to you making your own video showing which colours mixed together create “mud”. Thanks for your comment. and I am a professional artist/interactive designer, FYI.

[@selfiopath1982]

Wait a minute! I never said primateks make mud when mixed with the other primateks. The primateks produce gorgeous granulating mixes, but they can be disastrous with some convenience mixes and primaries outside of Primatek palette. And that's important to understand and make clear when reviewing the product.

[@AndiDesigner]

Selfio ' I have mixed them with primaries outside of the Primatek palette, and they have never made mud. I don’t see a problem at all. I am about to post a video where I use green Apatite with primary yellow on leaves and it makes gorgeous mixes. I also mix the yellow and orange with the Primatek green in leaves on a masculine-coloured wreath monogram painting, which I will post after I give it to my Dad for his birthday

[@BallooNeccesities]

+selfio' Even according to the Daniel Smith website primatek paints play well with other paints...mabe you are mixing across color temperature and getting mud?

[@montebleu1351]

Horrible video & description.

[@robertweinblatt2018]

When I open new tubes I make sure to hold the tube over a pan before the lid unscrews so any paint that oozes does so into the pan! Then I use a toothpick to push the left over paint in cap into pan. Very little waste
