I always love your thoroughness with switching and reviewing watercolors! It helps me learn more about pigments in general and to know if xyz brand would be worth buying! Your voice is lovely to listen to as well! I can honestly say I haven't ever fallen asleep to any of your videos, which is a great compliment as my boys would tell you, "if mom falls asleep watching something its not good at all and dont waste your time." I also appreciate the fact that you don't have music playing in the background! I have noticed more and more artists doing this, I can't explain why but its the most distracting thing ever. I'm trying so hard to focus and learn what they are teaching and explaining, but walk away from the video feeling like my brain hurt, confused, and like wasted time and didn't learn anything. I suppose they are just trying to entertain and keep things interesting, but it end up distracting or mayne its just me and the way my brain works...🤷‍♀️
I find this to be true at dinner parties as well. If there is music player in the background while I'm visiting with others, I find it hard to focus and feel insanely exhausted when I leave the dinner party. Nonetheless, my brain loves your style of teaching and sharing!! Thank you! 💗

I used the Rosa Gallery monopigment set for the 30 Days to Better Watercolor class and was very pleased with how all the projects turned out. These paints are like the Talens Art Creations sketchbooks, affordable, and absolutely no hang ups about preciousness.

LOVE SWATCHING VIDEOS!!! Amazimg video!! Thanks so much for sharing❤

Há, ha, nope, I’m up enjoying breakfast on 12/13/24…. But as always your swatching is very relaxing. The swishing brush in the water ASMR is quite zen-like. 😂 That set of 24 in the plastic, artsy-shaped palette is $45+ on Amazon at this time. Thanks for the Zn White tip, good to know!🤘🏾🥰💜👍🏾

I love cadmium colors! And cobalts. ❤long live cadmium!

I went through a similar change of mind with Oxide of Chromium after following mixes from The Mint Gardener - she makes an amazing deep green mixing it with Payne’s Grey and calls it “Monstera” (after the plant)! You could use two colours you don’t care for mixing a lovely third one 😊 And thank you for accommodating those of us that sometimes nap during long swatching videos - I actually stayed awake this time 😂

[sharonyoung]

Thanks for swatching this. I really enjoy all the pigment information you give when you swatch.

[starshinesoldier]

Thank you for the lovely long video! I listen to this while I did some cleaning. I always learn so much about the pigments from you ❤ hope you’re having a wonderful time in France

[Gypsisoul]

I love that this video was over an hour long and so much information

If you mix flame red and titanium white you'll get a rosa coral equivalent that is lightfast. It was flame red or bright red I can't recall off the top of My head but I had gotten that color and was surprised to find fugitive colors when the mix I just mentioned looks exactly the same.

I really like Rosa paints. I took advantage of the sale they had in the fall. They were such a good price, I feel like I can play as much as I like and not feel like I’m ‘wasting’ them. Also, I brought some extra colors I wanted from eBay and they arrived in perfect condition.

Hi, Lindsay. Thank you for your video. ❤. Happy the Mother's day and Happy the good week.

[joymiller]

Don't speak it Into existence lol I can't live without my cadmium paints I am willing to pay for them they are at the top of list of favorites... I use cadmium yellow in everything I paint, it's like the sun is actually shining on the paper lol. Please don't take my sunshine away😂❤.

Hay Lindsey, watched every second and did not even take a nap. 😂 I, personally, always enjoy your longer videos. I was surprised how many of the pigment numbers I can still match with names.
Thank you ❤

I have Madder Brown and I like it quite a bit. The Quinn gold is nice too.

[peggydid]

I like Diox. Violet to mix with yellow for a lovely brown.

[amyallen-smith]

Thank you for this! Rosa is my favorite for colorful paintings. Btw, they released a new batch of colors for 2024. I bought them on eBay - shipped from Ukraine.

[sunnyday]

I just bought the Rosa watercolors & tryed the Madder -- I like it! It's a dark red - but I like it. Hope you're having a great trip, without any rain!

[berolinastrassmann]

I enjoyed this so much, thanks Lindsay! No way I would never sleep watching/listening to you and your vast knowledge of pigments. I have been collecting Rosa's single pigment tubes and am so happy with them. Your swatching is helping me think whether I want tonadd something to my collection. Jackson's has great prices and carries the whole line. 🎉🎉 Oddly, chrome oxide green is a colour I like for mixing (with oranges, blues, violets, magentas) and Rosa's is the one that made me like it. Like you, I always felt it was 🤢 yucky, but not this one. I would live to see if you manage to create mixes you like it by mixing it with other colours. Thanks for this, I really appreciated your commitment and dedication to this long swarching video.
