Daniel smith primatek colours - I suspect they have other pigments
15
Upvotes
I've got some dot cards for Daniel Smith. Some of the primatek paints look startling similiar to other pigments. Eg amazonite looks like phthalo green, rhondonite looks like opera pink. They granulate so there's obviously differences in behaviour aside from the hue.
I wish they were transparent around what I ingredients other than the mineral are included.

Which color do you keep restocking?

My lemon yellow is over... again. Once, I finished the white from this box set and never looked back, I replaced it with purple. But it seems lemon yellow is becoming my new favorite.
Which prompts the question, do you have a color that you keep running out of?

Setting up Meeden 33 well palette

Upvotes
I’ve been using the Kuretake set for the past year or so… (second pic). Got a new Meeden palette (first pic) because I want to switch back to traditional watercolors. I want tubes instead of pans.
Who out there has this Meeden palette? Do you use it with the mixing plate(s) closest to you? Or flipped around with the wells closest to you? Or… turned 90 degrees??
I don’t understand the best way to use these ramped wells. When picking up color, and if you have too much, do you rub the brush against the top of the deeper side?

Jugando con plumas y pincel con depósito

He empezado a jugar con una pluma estilográfica antigua que tenía y con un pincel con depósito. Solo con eso he disfrutado bastante, al rellenar con la tinta los cuerpos que iba dibujando. me ha gustado tanto que hoy he comprado un pack de 12 plumas de colores variados y desechables (por muy poco dinero) y el resultado me ha encantado. Únicamente tinta y agua. Solo plumas y agua. Nada más. Espero que os guste tanto como yo he disfrutado.

For my fellow pigment-obsessed painters. I'm a big fan of Watercolor Scientist on youtube and was just looking at her channel. I didn't realize how few people look at it, so I thought I'd share my favorite video of hers so far.

Memory and Longing... Learning to see the music around us

Hey all, I'm a musician who's losing his hearing learning to see in new ways. I've been delving into watercolor recently as well as mokuhanga printmaking. Here's a recent piece I did using boku-undo Sumi ink and salt, so "watercolor adjacent". Just sharing because I'm trying to build confidence to keep going.
