Watercolor Comparison Jaune Brilliant No. 1 & No. 2

[@lauradunnings1814]

Those are all beautiful and buttery. They have a very antique farmhouse look to them. Would adding neutral tint to them change them a lot ? I’m taking your Cultivated Color class and not very experienced with color mixing yet. I really look forward to watching your new videos every Monday 🙂

[@kellyhoernig]

Neutral tint would give them a deeper look than the french ultramarine. The colors would be more greenish and greyish than on the blue side. Thanks for asking!

[@lauradunnings1814]

Ps. The fox under the mushroom photo in your weekly email is adorable 🥰 I definitely would love to see you paint that in a video 🙂

@@lauradunnings1814 thank you, he has already been started. Just trying to figure out the grassy area.

Looks a lot like Naples yellow and Naples yellow reddish - I’m no expert. Are they the same. The Holbein no 1 is beautiful on its own. It reminds me of our spring primroses here in Ireland.

[@kellyhoernig]

They do resemble the naples colors for sure. I think the naples are stronger and more opaque than these though, at least with the naples I have, especially the schmincke. How inspiring knowing they reminded you of primroses, lovely!

[@eBookHoarder]

I do love a primrose color. Also naplesy.

[@jvisser4848]

Yellow is my favorite color. Seeing so many, plus how they mix, is a joy. Makes me want to buy one, too.

[@kellyhoernig]

Glad you enjoyed seeing them mix with other colors, that is what I do these exact exercises for!

[@ChantelleArts]

great comparison! I actually don't have any since I think I prefer using transparent shades for portraits 🥰

[@kellyhoernig]

Glad you enjoyed it anyways, thank you for watching!

[@eBookHoarder]

I have all of those color/hues but they are called various naples yellow (hues?) by the brands I own. Brown is my favorite color but since I have started really using colors it has rolled out to yellow, orange, red and now green. I guess nature is my favorite color.

[@kellyhoernig]

They are very similar to naples but with a bit more orange I think. Love that your color palette is expanding yet focuses on nature - I know it is beautiful!

[@alisonhendry2928]

Ok I must comment on why??? You do not have thousands more followers? I just noticed the number!!!! Going to get the word out and spread your brilliance! ❤ and before I have even watched will help with “ yellow” in French pronunciation is a soft “ j” not hard so you are close. So soft j for similar sound of john and you will have it. I don’t use most of these yellows so going to dive in and enjoy as always. ❤❤❤❤

[@kellyhoernig]

Thank you so much and I wish I knew why I don't have more followers! Thank you for the willingness to share my channel, I appreciate it! As for the soft j, I will try to remember that.

[@christicovington]

Yay! I've been waiting for you to compare these! Thanks for your insights and for taking the time to make the video. Much appreciated. 😊

[@kellyhoernig]

Glad you found them YEAH and hope they inspired you!

[@jant4741]

❤ these studies!

[@kellyhoernig]

Glad you enjoyed them, thank you!

[@Replicanna-rl6zg]

I have been eyeing on the Schminke Jaune brilliant, full pan, the other chice would be Shinhan and I don't like the shade. Of these I would defenently go for the Mıjello 1. Thank you again for the awsome review, so thourough!

[@kellyhoernig]

Glad you enjoyed the comparison and found it helpful for your choice. Thanks for watching!

[@PetraAndrews]

This video is helpfull as always, thanks for it❤. But I just don't understand, why didn't shift the jaune/blue-mix into green? Is because of this blue? Or is something in this yellow that prevent this shift?

[@kellyhoernig]

Glad you enjoyed it and I think the shift was more grey/brown because of the orangish tone of the colors. Blue and orange are complementary colors (across from each other on the color wheel) so they tend to grey instantly. Hope this helps.

[@denisespillane9242]

Thank you again for an exciting swatch test I learn so much. I love the corals

[@kellyhoernig]

I'm glad you found this comparison helpful, hope it inspires you!

[@maureencepiel959]

I can see hydrangeas, both acid and alkaline. Gorgeous! I wonder what greens you might get mixing the jaunes with blacks.

[@kellyhoernig]

Ohhh, great question, I will have to play with that one. Thank you for the suggestion!

[@ashleywright8686]

TYSM for your wonderful video. Learned so much. ❤ (Bummer! I went to the sketch book on Etsy but page is no longer found, but I did get the Mission Mijello Jaune Brilliant No. 2 😁)

[@tribalstyle138]

the mission gold #2 is nice

[@kellyhoernig]

It is a pretty one, isn't it? Thanks for sharing your favorite!

[@SAP64]

It fascinates me how different brands use the same pigments and come up with something completely different than their competitors. The word Jaune is french for Yellow, so you could say the colour is Yellow Brilliant. If you really want to pronounce it the a is silent and the J has Z sound to it. Kinda like the phrase "Zhuzh It Up" - to make something better. So it would sound like Zhu-une. You could also 'google translate' the word Jaune and click the speaker icon a hundred times like I did to hear how its pronounced, lol.

[@kellyhoernig]

Thank you so much for the pronunciation help, I appreciate it! I feel the same way with pigments and color variations. The whole process is just a magical mystery to me but I'm thrilled to play with the outcomes.

[@leinonibishop9480]

I pronounce it like Jean-Luc Picard from Star Trek lol. Also Mijello I pronounce like Spanish where the j would be a y, my-ello

[@kellyhoernig]

@@leinonibishop9480 thanks for the help!

[@leinonibishop9480]

@@kellyhoernig thank you for the informative videos! watercolors are expensive and it's very helpful to see what a color can do before you go out and buy it. i also find your videos relaxing to watch while i'm doing my own swatching. paint on!

[@kellyhoernig]

@@leinonibishop9480 I like to see what a color can do before buying it and have several "lemons" that I wish I wouldn't have bought. Glad you find it helpful in choice making or blending colors on your palette to make something similar.

[@windywednesday4166]

Very nice. ❤ It looks like you have one book dedicated to just this kind of studies. That seems like a smart way to do this. ❤😊 Do you have a separate book for color charts, or are they included in this book too?

[@kellyhoernig]

Thank you for the question. This sketchbook holds my studio palette color information as well as all the color comparisons I have done so far. My colors charts are all larger, done on 11x15" single sheets of watercolor paper. These I keep in a portfolio to reference when I need them.

[@windywednesday4166]

@@kellyhoernig Ah, nice. That makes sense 🤔. I was referring to the smaller comparisons of 5 water colors or less... the big charts seem overwhelming to me at this stage. Also, I love the way you put the banner up on top and framed the chart. It's very attractive. ❤️

[@kellyhoernig]

@@windywednesday4166 I have a lot of sketchbooks going at one time, many of the 5 color ones end up in my daily sketchbook just because I play and try so many color combinations all the time. I am trying to make the brand swatching and the color comparisons look pretty and varied just so it isn't only squares all the time. Thanks for noticing the set up!

[@22GmaRocky]

I love how are you make all your entries so pretty. Even your swatches are decorated and in line and visually appealing.❤️

[@kellyhoernig]

@@22GmaRocky I just can't help myself, I like order LOL

[@yovamccoy2806]

Thank you so much for this comparison. I was confused on Amazon as to whether I wanted Jaune Brilliant No 1 or No 2.

[@kellyhoernig]

Glad I could shed some light on the color differences for you, happy shopping!

[@mandieappleton8204]

Love watching these,definitely helps me choose colours to add. The paint left over stresses me out though!

[@kellyhoernig]

It is such a helpful process seeing all the colors together raw and with mixes. As for the left over, they go into half pans which is how I have every single watercolor I own. No wasted material here!

[@melodycrites3145]

Just added jaune brilliant #1 from Holbein. I really like the buttery colour. And the price is reasonable.

[@kellyhoernig]

It is a lovely choice and I'm glad the comparison helped you choose just the right one for yourself!
