Oh, Oto! Daniel Smith needs to start giving you commissions. I've been using Pyrrole Scarlet, but that Perylene Scarlet looks like it would work better. Thanks for all your hard work.

[@OtoKano]

Lol I totally agree! You are so welcome, and thank you for watching the video.

[@OtoKano]

oh my goodness, that would be such a dream!!

[@PauloEAbreu]

loved the chemistry bits!!!! the circles are called rings by chemists :) very nice video.

[@OtoKano]

oh phew! So I didn't get anything majorly wrong? :D

[@PauloEAbreu]

Nope you did not. For me, at least, it is always fun to see the 'science bits'.

[@InLiquidColor]

I love me some perylenes! Green and violet are my favorites of course, but I need to play more with the maroon and red!

[@OtoKano]

wooo the maroon is gorgeous, and probably quite useful for animal paintings?

[@lightwavz]

I had never even considered these colors, but the MIXES! That indigo and midnight blue! I do love a lot of muted night sky and dusk colors and these are perfection! Thank you!

[@dynomax101]

Perylene maroon is a gorgeous brown red, very permanent and very useful, but I hardly see it as a replacement for alizarin crimson by itself. The lady who suggested mixing pr 179 with a quinacridone rose is correct. Anthraquinone red- pr 177 is a really good alizarine substitute, though it is a bit brighter and redder, with a brighter glaze tone. Alizarine crimson used to be sold in a number of shades, from more orange tinted shades to purplish varieties; some were really deep and the permanence varied. Because of that, I think it best for each artist to decide what shade of alizarine substitute they want and there are some beautiful possibilities available in watercolors, acrylics, and oils. There is an alizarine shade of PV 19, anthraquinone red is excellent, Mayan carmine is excellent-pr 176 (I think Daniel Smith sells it?) and DPP rubine-pr 264. Also, there is a very alizarine-like shade of pr 206, which is hard to find. Usually, pr 206 is sold as quinacridone burnt orange, which is not an alizarine substitute. Gorgeous color, though. These days, we have some great choices, unlike when I started painting. Back then, no permanent alizarine substitutes. None! And alizarine crimson IS a gorgeous and useful color.

[@JoAnneMOwens]

I am still in the experimental stage with watercolors and love seeing all the colors and the mixtures they can create. Thank you for this video, I absolutely love muted colors and will be adding a few of these to my ever expanding collection!

[@linzenota]

I'm in love with that perylene maroon! And yet another great video! ^^

[@ariweaver1543]

This was such a nice comparison. Thanks ever so much for putting it together! I'm usually one for cooler colors, but the separation in the mix of the Scarlet with Dan's Blue was just stunning! Looking forward to seeing whatever you do next! Thanks again! ^^

[@OtoKano]

yes that separation is gorgeous. It has so much depth. Thank you so much for watching the video!

[@aprilstark8887]

Thank you! I have Perylene green, maroon, and violet. I love them.

[@leenb.7936]

I loved the checimal bit! Loved everything really. Thanks for all these tests you do

[@JacquelineJax]

Your paintings are lovely. There’s so interesting to look at.

[@Sandrinesgallery]

Absolutely gorgeous colors! Thanks for sharing, and all the very interesting info.

[@OtoKano]

Thank you so much for watching Sandrine :D

[@rosscorbett1735]

This video has such great information. Yet another great video Oto! :)

[@OtoKano]

Aw thank you, so glad you liked the video :D

[@smoochyscoop]

I added Perylene green to my studio palette after seeing it on Denise’s channel. I may need to try the violet. That salt texture is incredible. Thanks for another great video, Oto.

[@OtoKano]

you are so welcome! I would say that the perylene Violet & Green is the best for using with salt. Get the strongest reactions out of those two colors.

[@mn8304]

Very thorough review, thanks!

[@CreateMess]

Once again thank you for your hard work. I'm in the market for a warm red, looking at the various scarlet and vermilion. So many choices, when I'm sure any would be good, lol.

[@OtoKano]

I know what you mean though, you want the 'right' warm red, right? It took me ages to settle on a warm red color for my palette as well. Hope you find one that is perfect for you very soon.

[@MeowMeowKapow]

I actually just finished up my perylene colors collection! (I think. Can’t remember right now if I remembered green or not. I think I did. Probably.) since we’d been talking about an all-perylene palette. Gosh. Perylene violet is still and forever going to be my favorite. I seriously love it. Oh! Ps! Your I-cards were posted too close together so they don’t both display while watching! I’d recommend moving the first I-card about 5 seconds earlier and the second one about 5 seconds later. Obviously, they’ll still both be in the card overall but the pop-out displaying was something I had a problem with when I mentioned both Denise and Jennifer in onenof my videos and couldn’t figure out why both of their cards didn’t show.

[@OtoKano]

ohhhhh thank you so much for the heads up about the icard!! I've fixed it now so hopefully both cards show up. yeah the perylene violet is my favourite too, closely followed by the green.

[@carolynderricks3226]

How do the perylene violet or maroon compare with caput mortuum I wonder?

[@renmuffett]

I know a lot of water-colorist do recommend Perylene Maroon PR179 as an Alizarin Crimson, but to me, its not even close to a crimson hue on its own. Its darker and brownish. I just tested the Perylene Scarlet mixed with PR122 or even a very cool pink PV19 and I got a very awesome Alizarin replacement. Thank you so much for sharing. I almost didn't buy the PR149 because Bruce at Handprint said it was marginally light-fast because it darkened with sun exposure in 2 months. Its not fugitive because that implies that it fades away. It does not lighten, it darkens. I thought about it, and I do not care if it darkens. If it just turns a bit closer to the PR179 I wouldn't care much.

[@bastet469]

Such good information! Thanks😁 Do you have a tutorial or print-out of your chart?

[@OtoKano]

so glad the info was useful to you. Thank you for watching the video!

[@CLOUDSINTHEKITCHEN]

You are just amazing. DOT.

[@dclua]

I didn't know the reds were so beautiful. I love the shade of perylene scarlet best but I like perylene red's mixes better. I will have in mind your advice tho, since I'm a newbie I don't think it will be wise to blast my money(yet) in every tube paint I find beautiful.

[@OtoKano]

Yeah the reds are very beautiful. Highly recommended if you don't already own a similar shade to them already.

[@YourMajesty143]

You can warm up the Perylene Red to make a Scarlet, but not vice versa. If you have to pick one, go with the Red.

[@JacquelineJax]

How long does it take the cards to dry?

[@1958shiner]

Do you make your own cards or purchase cards that you do the testing on? I looked for a video of “how to” but don’t see one. So very interesting. Thank you.

[@OtoKano]

I make my own cards :)

[@nekochii911]

I have the Windsor and newton alizarin crimson is it worth it to also have perylene maroon?

[@eternal8song]

It's worth it for me. Perylene maroon works really well for mixing skin tones and doing the blush on cheeks. It also mixes with perylene green or phthalo green blue shade to make a beautiful black. Meanwhile, I use permanent alizarin crimson for mixing purples, which perylene maroon can't really do.

[@carolynderricks3226]

Another question: is there a non- granulating blue that would be best for skies or water? Not a fan of granulation!

[@YourMajesty143]

I'm the same, granulation is fun to look at but isn't great for my illustrative style. Anyhow, you can't go wrong with Pthalos like Pthalo Blue (Green Shade) for bright blue skies, Pthalo Blue (Red Shade) for deep blue skies/water, Pthalo Turquoise for tropical skies/water, Mayan Dark Blue for night skies & deep oceans, and Idanthrone/Idanthrene Blue for shadows in the sky or sea. If you're able to get Schmincke, they have an Ultramarine that is non-granulating called "Ultramarine Finest" and DaVinci has a non-granulating Cobalt Blue. Also alot of Holbein, Winsor Newton & Qor paints tend to be non-granulating in general. Sadly, Schmincke and Winsor Newton aren't vegan, so they're out of the question for me, plus Cobalt isn't environmentally-friendly. So most of my Blues are Pthalos from Daniel Smith, or generally Holbein or Qor.

[@Dan.B.Artist]

an interesting group of pigments. I find Jacksons are really bad with pigment info, I've had a couple of tubes from them that have been mislabelled on their website.

[@OtoKano]

oh dear! That's good to know. This is the first error I've noticed. I usually take pigment codes from the brand's websites than Jackson's, which looks like it's a good thing!

[@mrspock2al]

Excellent review.

[@OtoKano]

Thank you :)

[@kantamana1]

Perylene has blue flourescence

[@richardkeeton9926]

Stop all the hand waving

[@YourMajesty143]

Stop commenting this on every video. You're the only one here who's bothered by it. The rest of us aren't, we like her videos just the way she does them. You don't like all this free information she's kind enough to share? Then go somewhere else. There's plenty of other videos out there. Bye, Felicia.
