Thank you for this post (and all your hard work and swatches)!
ReplyDeleteI want to add more artists' quality paints to my palette (so far W&N Winsor Yellow, Permanent Rose, Winsor Blue GS, Mijello Ultramarine Light, "Viridian") and definitely need a few earth colours. Do you think the Lukas Burnt Sienna and Raw Sienna (or Yellow Ochre Light) are good additions? (Especially the Burnt Sienna, because you seem so keen on a PBr7 version that mixes well with Ultramarine, and Lukas would be the most affordable choice in Germany).
BTW, the Jerry's Artarama chart seems to be the English version of the chart found on Lukas' German homepage: http://www.lukas.eu/broschueren/
Have a nice week!
Thank you for the link the the German website :-)
DeleteI think the Burnt Sienna is a very nice version. Yellow ochre (made with a PY pigment) will usually mix more greenish greens than raw sienna (made with a PBr pigment) and it's a nice yellow ochre light. The Raw sienna would mix more greyish greens. English Red light (or deep though I haven't tried it) may also be a useful addition if you want an earth red. And if you are painting skies I'd add the Cerulean.
Thanks a lot!
DeleteI think I'll settle for the Burnt and Raw Sienna for now. I have an English Red from White Nights, so no need there :)
I noticed that the Gamboge is PY153. Does it have the same hue as the discontinued Daniel Smith New Gamboge with PY153? Thanks for all your posts, they are beyond helpful!
ReplyDeleteI noticed on your website that you may be in Southern California Sept/Oct of this year. "September/October 2017- Travelling and sketching in San Diego, San Francisco, Seattle and perhaps Portland (Oregon) are being planned. Suggestions welcome :-)"
ReplyDeleteHave you finalized any plans? Will you be anywhere near San Diego? That's where I am. If you're doing any workshops anywhere from San Juan Capistrano on south that don't require membership in a society, I'd love to sign up for one.
If you want a suggestion, should you be in the area: tea at The Tea House on Los Rios in San Juan Capistrano and then strolling around the historic area and doing some journaling. I was just there on Tuesday and it was lovely.
Hi, I'm curious to add some Lukas paints for my sketching palette as they are very affordable. do they set well enough in a pan for a travel palette which will be chucked in my bag, potentially a 'pocket palette' by Art toolkit.
ReplyDeleteI've only tried them from dots but those were fine - held up on the watercolour paper. so as far as I know, well worth a try. The pigment information is good and they painted out nicely. Just watch those dark browns though, made with many pigments.
DeleteSteff, it's probably too late to be of help to you, but I have a basic 12-tube set of the Lukas colors. I keep them in an "airtight" palette so if I have a large quantity in there, they stay very moist, but where there's a small amount, they dry out and would be completely hard in a day or two.
ReplyDeleteHi Jane,
ReplyDeleteThanks for doing these swatches.
Can you tell if Burnt Sienna is granulating at all? I am looking for a non granulating Pbr7 Burnt Sienna. The local art store only sells Lukas and Schmincke, Schmincke uses PR101 for a transparent burnt sienna and the version with Pbr7 is granulating, which I would prefer not to use.
Thank you
Burnt Sienna is normally a bit granulating if it is made with PBr7. PR101 is frequently used if you don't want granulation.
