I have been painting on and off for almost 50 years, and have learned more about paint, color, and mediums in the last month from you and Mark Carder ( I've been binge-watching your videos, LOL) than I have ever learned anywhere, including college art classes. Thanks so much for taking the time to make these well thought out and totally awesome videos! Been taking lots of notes for future reference in my Art notebook. :)

P R-177 great replacement for Alizarin Crimson (Perm. Alizarin Crimson/Anthraquinone Red) but I will agree that Pyrrol Ruby (P R-264) is my favorite. Its almost a perfect red, because it has no violet or orange undertone!

[@kevindonohue2912]

I have a question regarding Alizarin Crimson - if it is fugitive, why do artists still use it and why do manufacturers still make it (well, I guess if people use it, then there is a market for it...)? I notice that both Gamblin and Sennelier include it in their basic oils sets (in both cases PR83) - why provide this in an introductory set if it is fugitive? Back in art school (far too many years ago) it was one of my favorite colors, as it would darken colors as well as black but did not have the same deadening affect - but we weren't told it was not permanent. OK, a bad joke... So I was doing a study of the Hudson River from Battery Park at dusk, and used copious amounts of Alizarin Crimson in the water to capture the reflected light of the crepuscular sky. Just then a member of the NYPD came up and put me under arrest! I asked "What seems to be the madder, officer?" He replied "I caught you red-handed harboring a fugitive."

[@walcottfineart5088]

OK I actually loved your joke ! May I steal it? LOL It is basically what you said. There is a demand for it based mostly on tradition so the manufacturers make it. A lot of teachers/artists don't know that it is fugitive so they just tell their students to use it. It won't fade in a week or two... it will take years but it will not hold up in the long run. I have found a near perfect replacement in specifically the Rembrandt Permanent Madder Deep. (PR264) Try it and see what you think. Thanks for watching! :)

[@KaustavMukherjeeFineArt]

Hi Jason, would you be interested in doing a chapter on black (both warm and cool) and mixing with various shades of yellows, reds and white etc. I do not use black paint myself but mix my own but I am aware that how a color like ivory black (with blue undertone) can be used to manipulate the shades of various colors. Not many people are aware of it and they avoid using black just because they have been told to do so! I think with your knowledge you will be able to explain it better than anyone else that black is not a monster!

[@walcottfineart5088]

Thanks for the great comment! Yes, I agree, black is not the evil color some have been told it is. It can be very useful. I think that is a great idea for a video and I will add it to my list of topics to cover.

I usually paint mountains and tree's etc. I'm trying to recreate a scene from my favorite movie the last unicorn. The particular scene has beautiful coral pinks and purples. I can't even count how many times I've redone the sky because I can't get the right hues of pink and orange. I thought I was blending wrong but now after watching your video it all makes sense. I've been using alizarin crimson and white and it's so dull :( I have a rose pink but that's it for red paint. I'm using the brand masters touch.

This vid is 4 years old, but never gets old! Thanks for the tip about the Rembrandt Permanent Deep Madder - I have been using Quinacridone violet, which is very versatile and works very well in mixes: but that dull, bluish red that Alizarin gives has been hard to substitute.

Hi Jason, I hope things are well. I just wanted to thank you for your suggestion to use Rembrandt permenent madder deep for an Alizarin crimson substitute.

[@mrsnrub9780]

Unfortunately, I adore PR83 - the majestic handling qualities, the mass tone, and the smoky hues it offers can not be fully matched by anything other than NR9 (an even more fugitive, but even more beautiful pigment.) I keep a tube of genuine Alizarin Crimson on hand for when I'm feeling self indulgent, but will use PR177 routinely on my everyday palette, on the basis that you can NOT allow your heart to rule your head. Another alternative I sometimes employ is to mix magenta with Transparent Oxide Red.

[@walcottfineart5088]

Yes, that mix of the magenta and transparent red oxide is close! I would recommend you try the Rembrandt Permanent Madder Deep. Specifically that brand and color. It's a much more lightfast pigment but looks nearly identical to PR83. Thanks for watching! :)

[@kencarsonsfangirl]

To the point. Thank you for quality information. And I agree with all you said about cadmium reds. As per my personal observation about Cad Red Light - it is not as good a mixer as the Vermilion as it tends to give somewhat muddy mixes with many colours excepting cadmium yellow. But it's good when I want to influence other mixtures.

[@dshepherd107]

I listened to you explain the problem w/ true alizarin crimson, & had a question. I have Golden brand alizarin crimson acrylic paint. It’s pigments are PR122, PR206, & PG7, so obviously not a single red pigment, & some green in there. My question is, do I still need to be concerned about it fading? Thx again for more wonderful tutorials on colors. Yours are the best by far 👍

[@walcottfineart5088]

No you are fine. :) What you really have should be labeled as "Alizarin Crimson Hue". When 'hue' is added to a color name it indicates that it is an imitation of the real pigment. Those three pigments you listed are all lightfast. In fact you cannot make genuine Alizarin Crimson with acrylics, as the pigment is incompatible with the acrylic emulsion. Thanks for watching!

[@ahmedhumayunrasheed2434]

Jason what's the Difference between Scarlet and the above colours you Demonstrated!

[@walcottfineart5088]

Thanks for watching! Well, "scarlet" typically refers to a very bright red that is slightly orangey in color, but it's not a standardized term, so there are many reds that could be called "Scarlet" and look different from each other. It's better to go by the specific red pigment and the qualities it has like being cool or warm, transparent or opaque, etc.

In India Rose Madder is available, is this same like Permanent Madder deep?

[@walcottfineart5088]

If it is genuine Rose Madder, then no it is not the same. True Rose Madder is just as impermanent as Alizarin Crimson. Look for the Pigment Index Number. Perm. Madder Deep is PR 263. Quinacridone Magenta is PR 122 or PV 19. It should be listed somewhere on the tube. The Quinacridone colors are best for long term permanence.

The most intense pink you can get are from the quinacridone colors like Rose or Magenta. The less white you add the more intense the color will be.

[@georgepaul5612]

I’ve been thinking about getting alizarin crimson off my palette for a while but it just looks soooooo good in the moment. But the more I practice, the better I get and I’m starting to care more about my art surviving me. I’m never going to be famous or anything but it’d be cool to have something that I made that gets passed down to my grandkids and great grandkids. You can learn a lot about a person from what they make and I thought it’d be cool for them to have some paintings I did so that they could know me even after I’m long dead. Just a thought. Art is a powerful tool like that.

[@walcottfineart5088]

Very true! And remember being famous is different from selling your work. If you decide to sell someday, you want to make sure your customers get paintings that won't fade so they cna pass them down to their heirs too. The best substitute I've found for Alizarin Crimson is Rembrandt's "Permanenet Madder Deep". It's nearly identical, and much more lightfast.

[@georgepaul5612]

Walcott Fine Art how transparent is permanent madder deep?

[@walcottfineart5088]

It's very transparent...It's nearly identical to Alizarin Crimson as far as I can tell. At least the Rembrandt version is. The pigment is actually Pyrrol Ruby (PR264).

[@georgepaul5612]

Walcott Fine Art I’m going to pick up a tube then. How is Rembrandt? I’ve never used it.

[@walcottfineart5088]

Rembrandt is a good paint....definitely artist's quality. It does have a slightly unique texture and some colors are better than others...I love their Yellow Ochre! But their Cadmiums are weak. If you get the small 40mL tube of the Permanent Madder Deep you can try it and see what you think. :)

[@kayjay-kreations]

Thankyou for the content how do we know if we have a genuine alizerine crimson

[@walcottfineart5088]

I think you will really like the quinacridone colors! Naphthol Red is OK. It is a beauitful color, but not as lightfast as some of the other reds. If you do use it, make sure you are buying PR 112. It is the most permanent of the napthols. Thanks!

[@pbhello]

thank you so much for this video. Unfortunately, I bought a large tube of Alizarin Crimson. I just checked out the website where I bought it and it explicitly states that it is known to be fugitive.

[@walcottfineart5088]

Thanks for watching! No it's only the genuine thing that's a problem PR83. Any color labeled as "permanent alizarin crimson" will be made from a mixture of pigments that are lightfast.

[@backstagedoorentry]

Cadmium red light leans towards the warm orangey side so it won’t mix well with violet colours, blended with Yellow ochre makes great caucasian skin tones, mix with Burnt sienna or Burnt umber for darker skin tones. Cadmium red medium leans towards orange too, makes only dull purples, can be used for portraiture, makes better pink than the Cadmium red light. Pyrrol red for fire engine and American flags, light areas of red roses. Quinacridone rose (Permanent rose) is a cool red and make good violets when mixed with ultramarine blue and makes great glazing transparency colours. Quinacridone Magenta (CMYK) printing, cooler than Permanent rose and good glazing. Alizarin Crimson fades, Permanent madder deep is a good alternative to Alizarin Crimson.

[@walcottfineart5088]

Thanks for watching and for a great question! I haven't tried those cadmium free Utrecht colors yet. The pigments in each color are listed on Blick's website.

Thank you. I use PR254, it is beautiful. But I bought a pyrrole red that is PR255 by accident, it is a bit more orangy, I felt like an idiot, I thought there was just 1 pyrrole red pigment, there are 2. I use PR122 also, great for violets.

Yeah, it's a little confusing. At the very least if it's PR108 you know you are getting genuine Cadmum pigments. I guess it's up to the artists to decide which shade is right for them. Oddly enough they do specify different shades of Phthalo Blue as PB15, PB15:1, PB15:3, etc. Thanks for watching!

Do you have an explanation on why cooler reds make better pinks than warm reds, is it because white has a bit of blue and dulls down the orange

[@richiejourney1840]

Vijdaan Siddiqui Technically you are correct about the white but the effects of the blue are minute. It not only dulls the orange but also shifts the red closer to violet and the yellow content closer to green. But again in a very minuscule fashion. Why the Cadmiums have a low tinting strength with white technically I can not say. As to “better pinks”: That my friend depends on the “pink” one is after. Obviously you are referring to the realm of blue biased red pinks being your preferred pink but that does not make them a “better” “pink” overall. For your preferred cooler pinks (based on light theory), those hues contain the least influence of green light waves which trigger fewer green cones in our eyes. Looking at it from the traditional “primary” system of RYB it would be the lesser influence of yellow. In the modern “primary” system of CYM it is again the lesser influence of yellow.

How is the brilliant Pink of Michael Harding compared to the Quinacridone rose or Magenta

[@walcottfineart5088]

The MH Brilliant PInk is a mixture of white with napthol red and quinacridone magenta. The plain quinacridone colors will be darker but much richer and more saturated in color. Unless you have a reason to need the premixed color for convenience I would go with the Quinacridone Rose or Magenta. Thanks for watching!

[@oyeleyeolalekan4486]

@@walcottfineart5088 thanks for the response...... I don't have access to the rose or magenta in my country. I can only see the brilliant Pink on the Rosemary and Co website and they have shipped products to me in the past.... I have also messaged them about the availability of the Magenta but they respectfully told me that the colors they have are all that they can supply...... Brillant pink is part of what they can supply which makes me asks the question.

Que tipo de medium utiliza? Saludos.

[@walcottfineart5088]

I make the medium myself. It's the traditional oil painting medium which is a mixture of 1/3 turpentine, 1/3 linseed oil and 1/3 damar varnish. Thanks for the question! :)

[@condeerogers5858]

Does this medium make your paints dry faster?

[@walcottfineart5088]

No, it just makes it easier to manipulate. Thanks!

Would pyrrole red be a good option as the red for a limited palette?

[@walcottfineart5088]

Sure! It's a pretty neutral red, so it would be good for mixing other colors that contain red. Thanks for watching! :)

Maybe I missed it, Jason, however, would you please tell me what brand of Quinacridone Magenta you demonstrated? Thank you. I am learning so much from you; I found your videos today by accident. Your knowledge and demos are invaluable to me.

[@walcottfineart5088]

Thanks so much for the nice comment! I'm glad you enjoyed this. I am pretty sure I was using the Lukas 1862 Quinacridone Magenta (PR122) here, which they call "Primary Magenta".

[@aerinte9114]

I already have alizarin crimson and cadmium red light, but I also like the color permanent rose, so should I get that too or just leave my palette as it is? Thank you so much for sharing these videos btw !

[@walcottfineart5088]

Thanks for watching! Permanent Rose is a great color...you can always buy a small tube and play around with it. Also be aware that genuine Alizarin Crimson (if that's what you're using) is not a permanent color...it will fade very easily if exposed to direct sunlight. Permanent Rose can be used as a substitute as it is also a cool red.

Very useful information.. Really thank you because is that way you are helping many beginners to be able to see colors and know about them so they can choose what they need. What do you think of making color charts?

[@walcottfineart5088]

Thanks for the nice comment! I'm glad you enjoyed the video. Color charts are very helpful and I definitely recommend them! I should probably do a video on that. :)

[@nopenopenope3108]

Can Pyrrole Red make decent purple (compared to Cad Red which mixes mud)? Would you consider doing a video on how the different blues mix with the different reds?

[@walcottfineart5088]

Great question! Pyrrol Red will mix violets that are somewhat in-between. They will be clearly violet or purple, but grayed down just a little bit. It really is a "neutral" red so it doesn't have the blue bias that's needed to make a really clean violet/purple. However it won't be the brown mud that you get with Cadmium Red. Great video idea too! I will add that to the list. :)

[@nopenopenope3108]

Thank you. I'd been trying to choose a red for a limited palette but I don't have the money to be trying out all of them and there are very few mixing examples out there. Pyrrole Red sounds like just what I need (not too purple not too orange), but a video would be great, thank you.

[@82camino96]

Hey there again! Curiosity has gotten the best of me again. I was thinking about grabbing some permanent madder deep but I noticed that it says semi-transparent vs the transparency that alizarin crimson has. Does this ever create an issue for you?… I really like the color and transparency of PR83. That almost blood red hue which can create very dark colors when mixing but it’s unfortunate that it can’t stand up to time. Does the transparency bother you or is it pretty much a non issue? Also, if I recall correctly, have you said in a more recent video that you actually prefer the magenta over permanent madder in place of pr83 nowadays? I’ve found that quinacridone magenta is more violety than PR83, which I do understand can be worked around but it throws me off a bit. Thanks as always.

[@walcottfineart5088]

If you buy the Permanent Madder Deep from Rembrandt, I have not noticed it being significantly different from the real deal Alizarin. It still has good transparency. I find the Quin Magenta to be more versatile since it's a higher chroma color, but it's not a direct replacement for the Alizarin crimson, which the Perm Madder Deep really is. Just be sure to get the Rembrandt version. Other brands aren't quite the same. :)

[@82camino96]

@@walcottfineart5088 I was able to find the Rembrandt locally and also grabbed a cheap gamblin 1980 quin magenta. it is a single pigment 122 so I figured I could deal with some student grade paints. I also already had a permalba permanent aliz which has 209, 122, 101 and 179 all together. As well as having a Bob Ross genuine pr83 as a control... It was a lot of fun mixing them with different whites. No doubt the Rembrandt is strong. Also practiced mixing greens with a bunch of different blues and yellows, and browns. Your video on greens is great. A day later I actually completed an alla prima painting which was rewarding and fun. And frustrating! But the ice is finally broken after 4-5 years… The fact that you take the time to answer viewers questions over the years, sometimes detailed inquiries, is greatly appreciated… And honestly, the feedback helped me have the confidence to go out and spend my money on supplies with an actual goal in mind and knowing what I’m looking for. That’s priceless in my opinion. Hopefully I can make the time to keep at it this winter and try to improve… thanks again and take care.

I mixed cadmium deep red with titanium white and it makes the ugliest dull pink colour 😭 thanks for this video I need to get some of these other shades of red

[@walcottfineart5088]

Yes!! The deeper shades of Cadmium Red are notorious for doing that. It's an inherent characteristic of metal based pigments. Try Pyrrol or Napthol Red for a nice bright pink. Thanks for watching :)

[@Paula19482]

I appreciate this video. I have been hunting the color Phthalo Red. What color is substituted for this color. I haven't been able to find a tube of it. HELP!!!!!!

[@walcottfineart5088]

Thanks for watching! I have never heard of Phthalo Red, so I think you might be confused on the color name? Grumbacher used to make a color called 'Thalo Red Rose', but that was just their own name for Quinacridone Magenta (PR122). I can't recommend Grumbacher as a good quality brand though. Let me know if you still need more info.

[@Paula19482]

Walcott Fine Art thank you very much. I do have a tube of Grumbacher Thalo Red Rose. I'm not sure but I may have Q Magenta. It was in a book I have about portraits. Thank you so much for answering my question. much appreciated

[@walcottfineart5088]

Glad to help! :)

[@gerdavogel5287]

I have become very interested in the pigment numbers and have researched several different brands after watching your videos. My question is, how come some colours have the same number e.g. PR 108, but the colours have a different tone. If they are single pigments and have nothing else added, shouldn't they be identical?

[@walcottfineart5088]

Hi Gerda, that's a great question! The pigment index numbers are standardized in terms of the materials used to create the pigment. So PR 108 will always be Cadmium Selenosulphide, ie Cadmium Red. However PR 108 can refer to any of the shades of Cadmium Red from Light to Deep. The index numbers are less about the color itself than about knowing what chemicals you are getting in your pigments. It can help determine that you are getting a genuine Cadmium, but not what actual shade it will be. In addition to that there are many different pigment manufacturers around the world. Due to differences in location, materials used, the way they process them, the colors can be slightly different. A Cadmium Red Medium from a manufacturer in China might be a slightly different color than one made in the USA. Hope that helps! Thanks for watching. :)
