Violet Oil Paint

[@annvandielen8685]

Jason, You are a treasure. I just discovered your videos and am devouring them because they're so fascinating! I respect the kind of research you do with all the paint brands and I'm taking notes of your descriptions during your demonstrations and comparisons.

[@walcottfineart5088]

Thanks so much for that kind and wonderful comment! I'm so glad you've enjoyed my videos :) Thanks for watching!

[@alizafar2624]

There is also PV42 though it's more leading to a red than a purple, Old holland and Langridge sell this colour. PV14 cobalt violet has 2 shades one is pinker, and one is darker. PV47 is cobalt violet but more bluish compared to PV14, Holbein sells this in their artist's oil and Vernet oil paint. PV15 ultramarine violet has 2 shades, as one is pinker than the other, I think maimeri puro makes both of them called ultramarine red and ultramarine violet. Old holland sells 2 shades of manganese violet PV16. PV5 is also sold in oil paint but it is fugitive in tints, only sold in Senneliers oil stick called alizarin violet lake, and Shinhan sells it called stable violet.

[@walcottfineart5088]

Thanks for the added info! :)

Finally! A true explanation of Purple and Violet. Thank you.

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching :)

[@dreamlovermimi9458]

A great purple mix is also Ultramarine Blue, Pthalo Blue ( red shade) + Quin Rose / magenta. Alizarin Crimson , Pyroll Red dark + most blues. Thalo Green + Alizarin / Quin Magenta make amazing rich and deep muted purples .

[@walcottfineart5088]

Yes, for sure! I actually use that Ultramarine/Quin Magenta mix for most of my violets, but I wanted poeple to know what single pigment violets are available if they want them. Thanks for watching! :)

[@venetiancat]

Love how the shirt matches the colors you're discussing. You did that with Yellow too, LOL I cannot begin to tel you how incredibly helpful these videos are. Been watching and taking notes for the last 3 days. Blessings and Much Love from New Mexico USA!

[@downtownneonlights]

Dioxazine purple is a good Royal colour although there has been questions on its permanence, Quinacridone violet leans more to a purple because it has a red in it you can also glaze with it, mixed with white it’s great for colouring light areas on red onions! Cobalt violet is one of the most expensive, mixed with white it will be more dull because it’s a mineral colour, landscape artists like it as it represents good shadows on a sunny day. Quinacridone purple is actually a violet only manufactured by Daniel Smith, more red and you can glaze with it, glazing brings out its red more, mixed with white it brings out more of its blue tones but it is more warmer than the Dioxadines. Cobalt blue and Quinacridone magenta make a great Dioxazine violet.

[@spetruck1]

Oh ..Sir, I instantly fell in love with the Daniel Smith quinacradone purple. I paused your video to go put it in my Amazon basket. THANK YOU for taking your time and parting with some of your gorgeous colors to teach me. I appreciate you! 💕

thank you .. i wish this video was longer , purple is my favorite color .

[@leahmarie8755]

Just found your videos and they’re so useful! I’m fairly new to oils, but I have to say one of my favorite colors to paint with in acrylics is Golden Fluid in Quinacridone Violet. Similar to DS Quinacridone Purple oil paint, it has a more pinky/purple masstone/glazing quality and leans more blue/violet when you tint with it. Gorgeous! Thanks for the videos (:

[@Handles-R-Lame]

I heard DS was discontinuing their line of "Original Oil paints" for their newest line of "water-mixable oil paints", which if true is a real bummer because their original line had alot of rare pigments made of minerals and such. Plus albeit im not very much a fan of water-soluble oil paints. :P In case the rumor is true, better buy up those DS original oil paints before they're gone!

[@ryanembry9875]

I've only just reintroduced myself to oils after a decade long hiatus, and have been trying to refine my pallet to the bare essentials. I took it for granted that a good strong purple is easy to mix. but I often found that I really needed a true purple on the pallet, ready to go. after browsing the shelves and comparing brands, prices, colors I decided on Michael Harding's Manganese Violet turns out this has been the perfect go to purple for my semi-limited pallet.

[@walcottfineart5088]

Thanks for watching! Yes, sometimes a tubed violet really comes in handy! :) You can't go wrong with Harding paints..

[@gc1362]

So I went back to the store and picked up Artist Colour dioxazine purple PV 23... only difference is this is acrylic..... you mentioned in the video that this paint was on the low end as far as price was concerned so I was a little surprised to see it was $16 for a 2 fluid ounce bottle... the royal blue it produces when titanium white is added is well worth it... I've tried to reproduce the color by mixing variations of red and blue but have had no luck matching it

[@101mosioatunya]

A very interesting and helpful video. thanks so much - I was in need of a violet and how to mix it.

[@AnastasiaAthanatou]

I was wondering if you had any plans to make a video discussing your opinions on what you think painting is, how people around you feel about what to do, how do you keep inspired, or how do you go about looking for a job as an artist. It would be really fascinating to hear your perspective. Love your videos!

[@walcottfineart5088]

Thanks for the compliment! I will try and cover topics like that in a future video. Thanks for the idea! :)

[@s4098429]

Good video. It would have been nice to see you try Cobalt Violet Light. It looks to be a strong magenta hue, I wonder if it is more saturated than the quins. Mineral violet is also missing, but I’m yet to see if that is a useful pigment.

[@walcottfineart5088]

The Cobalt violet pigments are pretty expensive so I don't really use them. They are weaker and not as saturated as the quinacridones. Some artists find them quite useful, but they aren't for me :) Thanks for watching!

Hey Jason. Thanks for this series of colours. How about a similar series about taking one colour, cadmium yellow for example, and showing us what happens when you mix it with different blues or reds that you like more than mixing it with other blues and reds. Not sure that would be worth your money and time though. I just love watching your videos and want more of them. Hehe.

[@francismerritt3408]

Great video; very informative. Could I suggest that you don’t have the main lighting behind you? There is a shadow over most of your canvas, which masks some of the colours.

[@walcottfineart5088]

The way my studio is set up isn't makes it hard to light but I try to do my best. The lighting is actually worse if I turn that overhead light off. I appreciate your suggestion though :) Thanks for watching!

[@artbyty]

Love the purple shirt! 😂

[@gc1362]

thank you for taking time to make this video... I was looking for a violet that would turn blue when you add titanium White. My store did not carry the brand you were using but they did have The Winsor violet... I just wanted to let you know it does not have the same blue tint when white is added... it seems to be going straight to purple for me

[@walcottfineart5088]

Thanks for watching! I agree that Dioxazine Purple is a great color...nothing can quite duplicate it.

[@fabrizio483]

White pigments have that effect because the while colour is essentially a blue in the sense that it is a cool colour in the case of titanium (which I detest, by the way.) Similarly, what people call grey can also be thought of as a blue.

[@walcottfineart5088]

Thanks for the comment! Yes, you are absolutely right! White cools all colors down when mixed in. The effect seems to be much more noticeable in the Quinacridone Purple for some reason. I prefer Flake White myself. :)

[@NYIKAZENO]

Thank you for the education! It was quite enlightening and enjoyable. What are your thoughts on Manganese Violet relative to those you covered?

[@walcottfineart5088]

Manganese Violet is a good color. It's lightfast, and somewhat opaque. I didn't have any on hand when I made this video but like all pigments in the "Inorganic" class, it will dull a little (go grayish) when mixed with white. It was the main violet used by the Impressionsists. Thanks for watching! :)

[@NYIKAZENO]

@@walcottfineart5088 Thank you! Once again, great series!

[@amandawilner1486]

I really like manganese violet too

[@jlusk999]

You must have been using Cobalt Violet Deep Jason. Cobalt Violet Light like I have is much more of a beautiful orchid pink color. BTW, you must have a FORTUNE in paint tubes! All those giant tubes of Cobalts and Cadmiums!

[@walcottfineart5088]

Yes it was Cobalt Violet Deep! Thanks for clarifying that. I should have said it on the video. Cobalt Violet Light is a much lighter redder shade. Quinacridone Violet makes a good substitute. Thanks for watching! :)

[@renatobfa]

Hi Walcott, fanstastic video! What do you think about Ultramarine violet (pv15)? Im trying to decide in a violet mostly for blocking in dark shadows and to.dull.down strong yellows. Im between diaxozin purple and ultramarine purple, the first because its darker, richer, and the second because ia cheaper and more lightfast. I.would appreciate yr input. Thank you

[@walcottfineart5088]

Ultramarine violet is a great color. It can be a little bit of a weak tinter, but that is inherent to the pigment. It's a good substitute for Cobalt Violet which is one of the most costly pigments there is. You are correct the Ultramarine violet will be more lightfast than Dioxazine purple, but the Dioxazine is far more saturated and rich in color. It depend on what type of painting you do. If you do landscapes and more realistic styles, then Ultramarine Violet would be fine. Thanks for watching!

[@renatobfa]

Makes sense, Walcott. I've painted mostly realism, landscape, in acrylics. The only time I have to grab a tube of Quin. Magenta was on a flower painting, with my old set of Liquitex Basics, but I tend to gravitate towards less saturated paintings. And, also, my goal with that deep violet is to get some interesting shadow color, instead of the good old black. Thank you!

[@melo3427]

Another amazing video. Are there any colours that can be mixed to form quinacridone purple?

[@walcottfineart5088]

Thanks for watching! Ultramarine (or Cobalt Blue) and Permanent Rose will make a really nice purple.

I once had a really old tube of cobalt violet, it was an incredible color, and once it was gone that was it. NONE of the cobalt violets made today comes close, alway too dark and none of the "ultra" quality that old tube had.

[@walcottfineart5088]

I hear ya'. Cobalt Violet is one of the most expensive pigments so I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of paint makers put additives in to stretch it. Unless you are getting a top quality paint brand. I personally never found Cobalt Violet to be useful enough to justify the expense. Thanks for watching! :)

[@c.e.schlink9933]

Old Holland makes a dioxazine mauve. Is that the same as dioxazine purple? Also, I want to try an Old Holland paint, jst to try the most expensive brand to see if it’s worth it. Which color is that brand famous for? Great videos.

[@walcottfineart5088]

Yes, it is! It's just a slightly different name for the same pigment which is PV23. Old Holland is famous for their Cremnitz White, but it is expensive. I personally don't find Old Holland to be worth the high prices. They are excellent paints, but no better than say Rublev or Michael Harding. Thanks for watching!

[@c.e.schlink9933]

Walcott Fine Art Thanks for the reply! I love John Currin’s oil paintings and he mostly uses Old Holland and Blockx with the Cremnitz white. There is something about the subtle appearance. Awesome talks you give. It’s nice to listen while I carve my gnomes.

Thank you Mr Walcott, may i ask this, Does Mauve is a dark purple or different dark violet shade like Dioxazine Violet ?

[@sohelpervas4821]

I want to try manganese violate . How is it ?

[@walcottfineart5088]

Manganese Violet is a "metal" color which means it's relatively opaque and will create somewhat muted tints when mixed with white. It's not a super-intense violet. It is very permanent and lightfast as well. It's the main tubed violet the Impressionists would likely have used. Thanks for watching and enjoy! :)

[@evs3978]

Does anyone know why Blueridge paint no longer carry cobalt violet?

[@walcottfineart5088]

I am not sure. It may have to do with being cost prohibitive as Cobalt Violet is one of the most expensive pigments there is. Eric is a nice guy, if you emailed them I'm sure they would let you know the reason. Thanks for watching! :)

It is weird because I kave always though the opposite, That more blue is "purple" and more red is "violet",
