Watercolour Pigments Explained For Beginners

Hello friend :) In this video I summarise my understanding of watercolour pigments, covering the things I wish I knew when I started: What are pigments? What do pigment names mean? Why do people care about single pigment watercolours? What are cobalts, cadmiums, quinacridones, phthalos and earth pigments? What does lightfastness , transparency, granulation and staining mean? This was a video suggestion from one of my Ko-Fi members - Lorna :) and it was so fun to create. I hope that this not only piques your interest, but that it adds to your watercolour journey. For all my Ko-Fi member, thank you so much for your support. I have created a PDF eBook summarising my notes, that you can use to accompany this video: https://ko-fi.com/s/e55dd390ce The timestamps are below x 💫 💫 💫Ko-Fi Pigments eBook💫 💫 💫 🎨 Ko-Fi Pigments eBook: https://ko-fi.com/s/e55dd390ce 🎨 Join My Art Club on Ko-Fi : https://ko-fi.com/sketchesnscrubs 🎨 Donate a tip to support the channel: https://ko-fi.com/sketchesnscrubs 💫 💫 💫UPDATES: 💫 💫 💫 💫 💫 💫 STAY IN TOUCH: 💫 💫 💫 🎨 Join My Art Club on Ko-Fi : https://ko-fi.com/sketchesnscrubs 🎨Instagram: @Sketches.n.scrubs 🎨 Mailing List: https://sketchesnscrubs.ck.page/maili... 💫 💫 💫Helpful Sites & Youtubers 💫 💫 💫 Handprint by Bruce: https://www.handprint.com/HP/WCL/wate...
