Transparent PR101 Watercolor Comparison - Daniel Smith - Winsor & Newton - Schmincke - Turner

[@JestemGlonojadem]

Long live W&N's Burnt Sienna :) I noticed that people either love or hate it, I do love it myself. Holbein carries a pretty interesting variation of this pigment, called Light Red. Noticeably redder than your usual orange-ish PR101 but still transparent!

[@JayNathanWatercolor]

I love the Holbein light red. It's been a long time since I've used it though. Thank you for watching and commenting 🙏☺️

[@lark6676]

I have always had a soft spot for the Winsor Newton Burnt Sienna. It was in my very first 12 color palette and I used that palette for 10 years before I branched out and tried different brands. So, to me a PR 101 is what Burnt Sienna should look like. And Winsor Newton Burnt Sienna is in most of my palettes...I just can't seem to be satisfied with any other Burnt Sienna and always go back to it. Strange how if you use one brand of paint over a long period of time you come to compare all other brands to the colors you love in that brand. Like Perm. Rose PV 19 by Winsor Newton...to me it is the perfect tone and I compare all other Perm Roses to it. One of my other all-time favorite Winsor Newton colors is Smalt PV 55, so unique and beautiful.

[@JayNathanWatercolor]

Smalt is very nice. Thank you for watching and commenting 🙏☺️

[@nadeaner.cowley513]

Wait, you have a PV55 Smalt? My Smalt is PV15. Is yours an older formulation? I really wish i was into watercolor 10-15 years ago, so many awesome colors were available that are basically extinct today- PO49, PY153, PB33...Etc...I sometimes think if I could go back in time one of the first things Id do is go back ten years and buy a bunch of tubes of the PO49 Quinacridone Gold. Lol.

[@awatercolourist]

@@nadeaner.cowley513 W&N’s Smalt was always PV15. PV55 is Quinacridone Violet.

[@irritatedlibrarian9057]

From what I've read burnt sienna was originally PR102 and the synthetic version is PR101. Seems like Pbr7 burnt sienna is a more recent development in the watercolor pigment world.

[@wulfseig1864]

Now I just have to go get me some Smalt. 🙂

[@Petercobourg]

I like the PBr7 for my earth tones. My pr101s are Indian red or English red. I did like one od those you used.

[@lmac_z]

I keep both Winsor & Newton and Daniel Smith Burnt Sienna in my palette, as they are so different and grant varied mixing options. My watercolour instructor loved W&N Burnt Sienna and used it all the time, and as a result it was my first version of the colour. I quite like the Daniel Smith Transparent Brown Oxide, and must put that on my wish list. Thank you.

[@jenneke9763]

Always enjoy your comparison videos! I have w+n Pr 101 and schminke PR101+Pbk and prefer WN. My other BS are made of PBr7. My favorite of them all is DaVinci’s PBr7 version which sits midway in hue. Not as orange or brown.

[@JayNathanWatercolor]

The Da Vinci burnt sienna is nice. My favourite has always been Holbein's burnt sienna. I'm starting to love the W&N now though. ☺️

[@TracyIndy]

I started with WN Burnt Sienna so I have a fondness for it. Every other Burnt Sienna Ive tried since has been very opaque, which is handy too. I really like the DS Brown. It sure has a lot of movement. I LOVE these comparion videos. Thank you so much for indulging all of us. :)

[@JayNathanWatercolor]

You're very welcome Tracy. I was quite shocked at how much the DS brown moved. Definitely different from the brands I normally use. ☺️

[@vikkiartlover2171]

My favourite one is WN Burnt Siena. I have a huge tube 37ml of it 😍😍😍

[@JayNathanWatercolor]

Wow! That tube would last some people a lifetime 😂

[@natlisan]

I switched out my Holbein Burnt Sienna (PBR7) for DS Trans Red Oxide (PR101) a few years ago now. As predominantly a portrait artist I found that the hue of the Trans Red Oxide was a bit cooler and it mixes cleaner and more natural skin tones.

[@JayNathanWatercolor]

That's interesting. Thanks for letting us know your findings. 🙏

[@marjoriebelt2842]

Interesting review and definitely helpful - thank you. I would be very interested in seeing how the different ones shown here behaved in mixtures - especially when mixing grays and greens. I usually prefer the Windsor Newton for mixing these.

[@JayNathanWatercolor]

Thank you 🙏

[@aeli999]

I have the Winsor Newton, but I prefer Da Vinci's Burnt Sienna PBr7. I love love love that Daniel Smith. I'll add it to my list. My ever-growing list. lol

[@JayNathanWatercolor]

The list never seems to get shorter does it? 🤣

[@hArtyTruffle]

Daniel Smiths’ Transparent Red Oxide (PR101) is in my palette along with the Transparent Brown Oxide shown here. The Red is almost as granulating as the Brown. I’m a big fan of granulating colours.

[@JayNathanWatercolor]

I can definitely see why you like them. The granulation in the brown is beautiful ☺️

[@cheryllapham6279]

The WN is lovely. I use both DS Burnt sienna (PBr7) and DS trans red oxide (PR101). Both make lovely grays with ultramarine, but the sienna can settle out on drying to leave a weird pinky brown, so I normally use the PR101. I’m thinking of taking sienna off my palette. Also, DS makes earth friendly trans. red/brown/yellow oxides PBr6) that are also good. Thanks for the comparison.

[@AlexYorim]

Quite orangey, which I like. W&N Burnt Sienna looks decently nice.

[@PaintinHiding]

i love the granulation of the trans brown oxide DS. really lovely!

[@JayNathanWatercolor]

It is very nice. Maybe too much granulation for it to be a good burnt umber replacement?

[@CLOUDSINTHEKITCHEN]

I love Qor's . It is just stunning.

[@JayNathanWatercolor]

Thanks for the recommendation 🙏

[@wulfseig1864]

Look at that DS granulation, gorgeous. Love the WN color. Turner's is a weird paint. Most are gummy and strange. Makes me nervous to dip my favorite brushes into them.

[@cmumford1477]

I have the W&N on my palette. I prefer it to PBR7. I also like DS Transparent Red oxide PR101. It is a rich B Sienna color with granulation similar to their Transparent Brown oxide.

[@JayNathanWatercolor]

I think I'm starting to like the W&N more than a PBr7 too.

[@starr-starr]

I’m like others who have commented, WN Burnt Sienna was in my first Cotman set and I got used to that, then I got a pan of their Professional grade (even better). I also have DaVinci Burnt Sienna Deep which is a PR101, quite similar to WN, and of course paints out so nicely. Those two are my standards. Daniel Smith Transparent Red Oxide PR101 is a super pigmented and in your face Burnt Sienna color. I also have Rosa Gallery, which is on the weak side, but still makes some nice mixes. And of course I have DS PBr7 version, because it gets all the hype, especially in the States. But WN is hard to beat.

[@JayNathanWatercolor]

Oh Da Vinci have a PR101 burnt sienna too? That's interesting. I might have to try and get hold of that one.

[@patti3d]

All are pretty, but I do like the W&N , 1st and the Schmiincke 2nd.

[@JayNathanWatercolor]

The W&N is my favourite too ☺️

[@patti3d]

@@JayNathanWatercolor I like QOR Burnt Sienna but it’s Pbr7.

[@NanaBeth1]

I have the DS. I love it! I like the color & texture of the Turner. I've never tried any of their paints. Not feeling it for the W&N or the Schmincke.

[@JayNathanWatercolor]

I've heard good and bad things about Turner. I still want to try them though ☺️

[@suzisandpiper]

Liz Steele was a recent convert to TRO from PBr7...it's such a clean mixer. But I admit I like having lots of choices in the earths as they are so interesting to me. The schmincke earths often dry a little neutralised or slightly "dead" . I like the glow in the Winsor version.

[@magentaindigoart]

This must be my most used color ever, I do a lot of monochromatic studies and illustrations with it and brown ink. Coming from Cotman and later W&N pro, I got attached to their burnt sienna, it's vibrant and transparent, great for glazing. The last 4 years I am using this Schmincke, it is quite nice but sometimes I find myself mixing it with a bit of Quin. Gold to make it more vibrant. I also recently got Rembrandt transparent red oxide to try, but have yet to do a field test.

[@JayNathanWatercolor]

I’ve not tried the Rembrandt TRO yet. I wonder how it compares to W&N burnt sienna?

[@magentaindigoart]

@@JayNathanWatercolor I currently don't have it on me but I'll gladly let you know when I get back to my hometown for Easter holidays :D

[@JayNathanWatercolor]

That would be great! Thank you 🙏

[@magentaindigoart]

@@JayNathanWatercolor update: I swatched them side by side and they look quite similar. the Rembrandt red iron oxide is slightly more red and a bit darker (and a bit glossy) in masstone. The W&N has more of an orange glow

[@jennw6809]

Hmm! Very surprising how much drying shift on that Schmincke! I have the DS TRO and TBO. They are great but definitely wild granulation!

[@JayNathanWatercolor]

It's probably my error when swatching out the Schmincke. Too much water and not enough pigment maybe? I don't remember a drying shift like that when I swatched it out in my Schmincke video. I'll have to go back and look.

[@jennw6809]

@@JayNathanWatercolor Possibly! Then again, we are looking harder at fewer colors here!

[@LowKey_izildura]

I`ve tried only Schmincke`s transp. sienna and D.Smith`s transp. red oxide, and I love both. I like D.Smith`s Burnt sienna, too. It`s softer, and not as red as I`ve thought.. maybe they changed the tone.. or I imagined it to be redder, I don`t know.. I`ve heard that it used to be redder. Only other transparent Pr101 I have is Cotman. I like that paint, but I am curious, is it the same hue as the professional one? To me it looks like it is, only less pigmented for sure..(haven`t tried it) Oh, and I like D.S. transp. brown oxide as well. Sometimes I mix in a touch of transp. red oxide, to bring down the yellowness (which I don`t see on screen here, at all)

[@JayNathanWatercolor]

It's a shame I don't have the Cotman Burnt Sienna otherwise I could make a video and let you know. Maybe I'll have to go out and get it? 🤣

[@LowKey_izildura]

@@JayNathanWatercolor lol no need since I can't get the tube of W&N. You can get it as a replacement, tho`, for sure 😉

[@nadeaner.cowley513]

Ooooo I love that DS transparent brown oxide. So pretty- tho i decided I wont be investing in anymore Daniel Smith paints after the drama with the Primatek line...but its still nice to see them swatched out. I like the delicate soft look of the Schminckes transparent sienna. Im not a fan of Winsor and Newton paints- idk there is just something about them that I dont particularly like- i cant put my finger on it but its there for me. But with that said some of the colors are pretty to swatch. Anyway thanks for sharing and much love:)

[@JayNathanWatercolor]

You're welcome. I don't think I would have bought any Daniel Smith Watercolors anyway but the whole primatek thing made me even less likely to give them any money. 🤣

[@Mr.S65]

Da Vinci has two siennas- burnt sienna Pbr7 and burnt deep sienna Pr101. I like the burnt deep sienna more. I also own a DS burnt sienna Pbr7 which is ok. DS has this beautiful Italian burnt sienna Pbr7 that contains a natural pigment. Its color looks more like the pr101 even though It’s pbr7. It’s the best

[@JayNathanWatercolor]

Someone else also mentioned that Da Vinci has a PR101 burnt sienna deep. I definitely want to try it in the future. ☺️
