This video and the comparison of the different types of ultramarine is amazing. I would love more color geekery and comparisons in the future please :)

[@Wildboy789789]

BEST VIDEO, I've watched like 20 videos on mixing paint and yours is the best.. so phthalo blue green shade and orange can easily make brown or grey depending on tint and a great black... awesome, thank you so much

[@sherrikent6628]

I appreciate your descriptions and explanations of how you use the color. Thank you!

[@Blissfulthings]

I'm enjoying these comparisons videos and doing small mixing charts really teach yourself alot! thank you very much! Heather

[@teohyc]

+Blissfulthings Thanks :-)

[@PaulaBean]

6:20 classic flaw of watercolor users: being too impatient ;-) Not wanting to wait for the paint to dry! I use a hair dryer myself but even then it takes ages!

[@Angela-jy8um]

Good notes. I've always wondered this. Thanks for sharing.

[@SharonNolfi]

I really like these paint comparisons - very useful. Thanks!

[@teohyc]

+Sharon Nolfi Thanks :-D

[@gwensimmons_gigi1629]

Thanks for the comparison reviews!😃👍🏾

[@nknana3]

Great comparison video! I'm going to try this with some of my blues. You've made some very interesting colors!. I love seeing how the colors mix on the paper...so much more interesting than when completely mixed in the palette! Thanks for sharing...

[@teohyc]

+nknana3 It's quite unpredictable at times 😂

[@annewright8184]

Very nice comparison! Thanks for your explanations!

[@sophieha7616]

Love your videos. Very useful. I was trying to match a color w/a tube just marked Phthalo Blue. Turns out it was green shade when what I needed red shade.

[@onyana]

Great stuff as always Teoh!

[@teohyc]

+onyana Thanks \ (•◡•) /

[@mwGoosman]

I like your color mixing set up for these blue pigments…thank you 😊

[@samanthrax27]

Thank you! This was exactly the comparison I was looking for. I am on a quest to find a "cyan" to use for mixing primary water colors and someone suggested Phthalo Blue GS. I have the Winsor Blue RS and I wanted to see what Daniel Smith's looked like.

[@tabortooth11]

love watching your comparisons

[@teohyc]

+tabortooth11 Thanks 🙌

[@lorijones9579]

Thanks for these comparisons, Teoh! It sure beats having to buy the tubes just to see what the color looks like.

[@teohyc]

+Lori Jones Thanks 😁

[@PaintinHiding]

ohhh thank you so much for making this vid Teoh! :D it's bee nreally helpful! i'd love to see one for PG7 vs PG36 whenever you have the time. it'd be interesting to see what makes phthalo green blue shade and yellow shade so different. :) have a nice day!

[@MaidenBklyn]

Loving these color vids!!!!

[@ginettelachance3280]

Thanks Teoh!✨✨✨🎨

[@crystallp6274]

Thank you for the comparisons. It really helps!! I think I will make a few charts of my own.

[@teohyc]

+Crystall Pearson That's great. Thanks 🙌

[@thekeddi]

i love these videos and am learning lots! keep up the good work! xxxxx

[@teohyc]

+Kerri Hickman Thanks :-D

[@jennw6809]

Great comparison, thanks!!!!

[@lalaithan]

I am glad that I chose green shade over red shade now. I couldn't really see a difference on swatches from different brands and I am making a palette to use for mixing most of the colors. I find my paintings lean more warm and I want to have more cool colors available. Very useful video.

[@teohyc]

+lalaithan Thanks 😁

[@katak5462]

Thank you it is so helpful

[@yuliskartika3971]

Hi! Thanks for this, your comparison make me easy to decide which one I want to take for the Phthalo Blue. Regards, Yulis

[@teohyc]

+Yulis Kartika That's great (~˘▾˘)~

[@jpriviere3482]

Thank you for your vidéos!

[@katpaints]

For me, the biggest difference between pthalo blue, red shade and French ultramarine blue has to do with being able to lift. Thales are staining. I have one palette for modern, staining colors and one that lifts. They are similar in color, but the paints that lift are more granular and more relaxing to use.

Hello from the Korea! Always thank you upload good vidios! I love your artworks🤗

[@teohyc]

+노수빈 Thanks :-)

[@higherground711]

+노수빈 North or South Korea?

[@NelaDunato]

Blue shade all the way! I love the green tones it mixes with azo green, and I prefer single pigment violets. But that RS and alizarin crimson mix does look lovely...

[@suzi-ml8ep]

what brush and paper do you use

[@ritagjefle3995]

Excellent! It is SO confusing to me trying to "narrow" down my color palette! Just out of curiousity- what do the numbers after the colon signify? I.e. PB15:3 versus PB15:6? Thanks so much! Very helpful video!

[@teohyc]

I'm not too sure about the number behind the colon. Probably different variation of the same pigment.

[@Worldfriends218]

is acrylic Marian blue paint is it the same as ultramarine blue

[@RamoArt]

Hey! I really like these kinds if videos because I can't afford to try all the colors out myself. I'd love to see you compare yellow paints since I'm really struggling to find a vibrant, transparent yellow that's lightfast and fairly neutral.

[@teohyc]

Check out some yellow comparisons at janeblundellart.blogspot.sg/2014/08/watercolour-comparisons-7-yellows.html

[@RamoArt]

+Teoh Yi Chie Thanks!

[@YourMajesty143]

Jane Blundell considers Hansa Yellow Medium to be the perfect yellow, it's neither cool nor warm. But I found a better, brighter neutral yellow thar is way more lightfast and which is just as good for mixing as Hansa Yellow Med. It's Daniel Smith's Quinopthalone Yellow. Plus if you add a teeny tiny bit of green or Pthalo Blue (GS), then you can get something close to a cooler yellow like Lemon Yellow. I know this is years later, but maybe this could still be useful to you or someone else.

[@robindanette1206]

Why did the color halo or mot mix

[@ju2425]

Green shade is quite nice 😍

[@TheHandmadeChic]

Hello! i want to ask what tripod are you using for overhead filming? Thank you!

[@teohyc]

+The Handmade Chic Just a normal three leg tripod. I make one leg longer so that it tilts to one side for filming. Here's the list of equipment I use kzbin.info/www/bejne/maXFd4aGZtmhqJo

[@TheHandmadeChic]

Thanks so much!

[@IntersexGamer]

This may be a dumb question but is there a phthalo blue yellow shade? Also Thank You for doing these videos you have helped me learn a lot.

[@teohyc]

It's just Phthalo Blue with green and red shade.

[@RoflCraft96]

Those look like fishskin (the transparent pyrrole orange and the burnt sienna especially)

[@KPoPlusbeautyJunkie]

Hi!! I know this may seem random but i want to ask what is your favorite or what artist grade watercolor brand do you think is the best? Is mijello up there? I want to try the pure pigment set ^^ thank you!

[@teohyc]

+iLove kaisoo A favourite brand is just a personal preference. I go for brands that I can find easily so that I can replace my paints easily without spending too much on shipping. Currently, I like Daniel Smith, Winsor & Newton and Kremer Pigments. Mijello also has high quality paints, the only downside is the names of their paints can be very different from traditional names, e.g. Peacock Blue. Anyway, each brand will have certain colours that use single pigments, and multiple pigments. For starters, I recommend you check out the pigments that are used to make each colour and get those that use single pigments. Check out this article: www.parkablogs.com/content/colours-pick-12-pan-watercolour-palette

[@KPoPlusbeautyJunkie]

+Teoh Yi Chie thank you so much for responding! Will definitely check out the article in a minute! I love your videos btw!! Keep up the good work!! :D thank you again for replying!! :)

[@KPoPlusbeautyJunkie]

+Teoh Yi Chie Teoh i did some research and i found that the brands readily available here in my country is sennelier and mijello..if i like watercolors with great transparency which brand should i get? Thank you!

[@teohyc]

+iLove kaisoo Every brand has their transparent colours. You have to look at their charts. Both Mjello and Sennelier produce good paints.

[@KPoPlusbeautyJunkie]

+Teoh Yi Chie okay thank you so much.. but if you were to choose which brand would you choose? sorry for asking so much questions!

[@FuriedHearts]

So I’m trying to build my 30-color porcelain palette and I’m torn between which blues to have in my palette. So far I have: Cerulean (for skies/light value blue), French Ultramarine for warm blue, Pthalo Green (BS) for cool mixing blue, and Indanthrene Blue as a deep blue. Lately I’m finding that I’m not the biggest fan of the French Ultramarine though. I’m not sure why. It doesn’t seem very pigmented and I’m not crazy about the granulation. I guess I’m not sure what the hype is over ultramarine? Maybe I am missing something? I much prefer Pthalo Blue Red Shade. But ultramarine seems to be a staple color in 99.999% of artist palettes so I am feeling a little conflicted and confused as to why I am not liking it as much? Is there a reason it is so highly prized and valued as a color? I know it can make amazing greys with burnt sienna and good purples; but couldn’t the red shade of Pthalo blue also do that? The other day I was playing around mixing greys with French ultramarine and burnt sienna and the Pthalo blue red shade and burnt sienna and the results were a little similar. Both were tricky to reach a perfectly neutralized grey though. I was very very surprised at the difficult of achieving a good neutral. I kept getting greys that were leaning either too warm to the burnt sienna side or too cool leaning toward the blue. Any advice for me anyone? Remember I am building a 30 color palette. If you were me which blues would you choose for maximum mixing and versatility? I want to be smart with my choices. Thanks!

[@teohyc]

Many probably like Ultramarine because of the granulation. Phthalo Blue (RS) is one alternative which is non granulating. Other blues you can try... Maybe Cobalt Blue PB28. Cobalt Blue Deep (PB74) which is the more extreme version version of Ultramarine. Kremer Pigment's version is extremely granulating. Maybe Prussian Blue but that's not lightfast from certain brands. Cerulean Blue and Cerulean Blue Chromium look slightly different so you may want to test them too.

[@YourMajesty143]

Most artists don't like Ultramarine as a stand-alone. Its value is mainly due to it being a good mixing color and bc of its granulation. Personally, my art style is illustrative, so I try to stay away from extremely sedimentary pigments (if possible). I prefer flat illustrations that are created from even washes of color with very little gradation, flocculation, or granulation. So if buying a warm blue, I'd choose Pthalo Blue Red Shade for making purples & violets. However, bc Pthalos are such a staining color, they're harder to lift when making mistakes. But it's great for glazing on top, without worrying if you'll mess up the all the work you painted underneath. Ultramarine glazes decently, but it's mostly prized bc it's not as staining & so it's easier to correct any mishaps. However, Pthalo has a stronger tinting strength, which can be a good thing bc you don't need alot of paint for mixing, however it can suck if you're doing wet-on-wet & it starts to charge into other colors. Charging is fun for loose watercolor bc it creates awesome halos and blotting effects. It's not the best when you're trying to get your paints to play nicely with each other. Bc Pthalos are so competitive when mixed, you'll need to understand their properties well enough to know how much paint to use and in what ratios to mix it, also understanding its characteristics on wet, damp, and dry paper. Ultramarine has less of a learning curve, and so people feel more control with this pigment instead. The same can be said of Cobalt Blue.

[@belindahall5220]

What is the difference between French Ultramarine and Ultramarine? Thank you.

[@teohyc]

I've compared them before. Check this out www.parkablogs.com/picture/ultramarine-blue-vs-french-ultramarine-difference-between-two-pb29

[@justtheletterV274]

White Nights has Phthalo blue RS ,

[@chrish4079]

Comparing your purples when they don't have the same hue is pretty disappointing. You say one is brighter. One is expected to be brighter according to prevailing theories (split-primary, color-bias), but is it really brighter? Or is it just more 'red' than the purple you made with green shade? I'd like to see you really match the hues before you decide one or the other is brighter. I would also like to see a column for magenta. Permanent alizarin crimson is a mixture of red and magenta, but your purples would likely be cleaner without the red component.

[@nataliaramoncifuentes668]

Hola amigo, cuando harás tus tutorial está en español ? Me interesan mucho pero no se ingles , muchas gracias .

[@poof9316]

No creo que habla espanol (I don't think he speaks Spanish)

[@FuriedHearts]

French ultramarine is PB29? Your sheet says PB15: 9 🤔

[@teohyc]

I wrote wrongly

[@ulutiu]

Pigment number for French Ultra is incorrect. It should be PB29

[@teohyc]

+ulutiu Oops. Wrote that wrongly 😂

[@SocratesAlexander]

Hi! A question for you. Why don't we have black, cyan, magenta and yellow paint in watercolor like in a colour ink printer cartridges? We know it is possible most--if not all--colours by mixing these four colours. Do you think is it possible to paint with directly from printer cartridge colours?

[@teohyc]

+Socrates Alexander You can get paints that are close to printer inks. But it will be limited palette. For example yellow and magenta will not give you an orange that is brighter than yellow and a warm red like Cadmium Red, Perm Red or Transparent Pyrrole Orange.

[@SocratesAlexander]

Teoh Yi Chie But if those main colors are made from one type of pigment only, then theoreticaly, you can mix those bright colours. I don't know if we have one single pigmentation for magenta and cyan.

[@teohyc]

Socrates Alexander Yes, in theory, you will need bright colours to start. However, even so, the CMYK model will not be able to mix all colours. Hence there are also Pantone colours.

[@SocratesAlexander]

Teoh Yi Chie Maybe it's worth trying.

[@RamoArt]

I always use CMY when I try out new brands, so I only have to buy three tubes/pans but get a large spectrum of colors. I don't know why artists keep insisting on using RGB, it really doesn't work for paint mixing.
