My Favorite Daniel Smith Watercolor Set (Swatching)

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

Here we are for another fun swatching video! This week I'm taking you through the Daniel Smith Jean Haines Set, a vivid, saturated collection of yummy colors that will make your heart sing. We're test driving all of these colors as I prepare my paint swatch cards. I'll be comparing them to Winsor and Newton and other Daniel Smith colors in my collection so you can get a good idea of whether or not this is a set you're interested in trying out :)
So sit back, grab a cup of coffee (or tea) and let's get this swatching party started!

ABOUT ME
Hi! My name is Margot and I am a professional artist and graphic designer. My parents like to joke that I was born with a paintbrush in hand. I started my career after graduating from the renown Parsons School of Design in New York City and spent over 15 years creating and designing for many of the world's top Fortune 500 brands and companies. My painting journey started as a side project and a creative outlet for me to step away from the computer, go back to my "roots" in fine art and to hone my skills as an illustrator and painter. I started posting some of my work on instagram and the rest is history. My work is inspired by all the things that I am passionate about. Ballet, travel, graphic design, color and finding a world of beauty in all facets of everyday life. I hope you’ll join me in this KZread journey as I take you through all the tips, tricks and trade secrets I’ve gathered throughout the years. I hope I can teach you some of what I know, help you discover your creative voice and I hope you enjoy this Channel!

    I love these colors. I think it would be cool if you could do a quick little painting with these colors. Even showing after what you've painted with this palette.

    Margot, ifyou're interested, I think that Aussie Red Gold might be inspired by the beautiful desert rock formation Uluru, which is a site that is sacred to the Pitjantjatjara tribe! It's considered one of Australia's most important and famous indigenous sites, surrounded by ancient paintings and caves. I can see why it would inspire this shade, the desert there is so fiery red and gold in addition to the Earthy undertones! Either way, Australia is primarily desert, so this is appropriately outback-inspired!

    I’m from Western Australia and the Jean Haines master set was one of my first Daniel Smith purchases, the Aussie Red Gold surely is aptly named as the soil in Northern western Australia and the Red Centre ( Northern Territory) can be exactly this hue, along with transparent red oxide and Geothite. I now have many Daniel Smith paints as I love the sets they do. Thankyou for a pleasant video show casing their beauty.

    It is the preference of the artist and what she uses in her paintings! Of all the colors I do use the undersea green the least. So I get what you mean! (But it's her curation)

  • @Pointebrush

    @Pointebrush

    Жыл бұрын

    Cascade green I think is very particular. It's a combination of PBr7 and PB15 which is more of a blend between brown oxide and phtalo blue than the coolness of a cerulean. Green apatite on the other hand does something quite interesting in the granulation which a more classic mix wouldn't have. I suppose it depends on what you end up using the greens for and their presence in your painting. Either way, it's always fun to compare and contrast what each has to offer 😉 Happy Painting!!
