Cobalt pigments and toxicity - we hear and read about it a lot. So I went down that rabbit hole and looked into it further while experimenting with the gorgeous PG50 Cobalt Turquoise.

It's really worth reading to deconstruct some of the mysteries about cobalt pigments.

Just finished an article on PG7 Phthalo Green in watercolors with a monochromatic painting, swatches and mixes as always. Also some insights on toxicity etc.

I built the database with the idea to get to know the paints we use on a daily basis better. These studies help me to get to know the pigments I use for sure and I hope it helps you to get more insights as well.

New video with a real time painting (not narrated) went live on Patreon showing one of the color explorations.

Huge thanks to my patreons for supporting the watercolor database and making those explorations possible.

Patreons voted or are still voting and decided they want to see real time painting and swatching videos of the monochromatic paintings I do for the reviews. So here you all go:

Watercolor nerds probably know of the Mini Urban Sketchers palette by Roman Szmal that was released earlier this year. If you're curious, you can check out the swatches and mixing chart on Patreon:

PG18 high res scans, swatches, mixes and monochromatic painting are available on Patreon now...

Because pigment nerds need to know it all, right? Also insights on the process and all around it.

PG7 is next, because both are so similar and I want to show, where the subtle differences are.

I must admit, that I really enjoy this series and writing about my experiences with those colors. Because I feel they need to be talked about more... not only in advertisements.

Did you hear about the Schmincke Horadam Signature Edition this year? I'm looking in each color and do color studies, mixes etc to see if it's really worth it.

Swatches are dropping daily on patreon now: https://www.patreon.com/posts/schmincke-2025-129917541

(Free to read to all members, though support is greatly appreciated, so I can go on with the tests and keep the database running.)

I like all his Gel Plate Technique Tutorials in his channel. It is an inspiration to do more than just grungy backgrounds with gel monoprinting plates.

He is one of the rare sources to really inspire to get or make a #gelPlate and dabble in #monoprinting.
