How To Mix Sleeping Beauty Turquoise Hue Monday Mix

Awesome video. Actually the reason that one color that bleeds out leaving the hard ledges is because there's a Phthalocyanine pigment in it. It's not made with 100 percent gemstone, but the gemstones used are 100 percent real. They use the cheeper phthalo, quin or other like pigments with the small amount of powdered gemstones in the Premetek line of watercolor paint. A lab tech person on Instagram took the samples and chemically analyzed several of the Daniel Smith Premetek line and found Phthalocyanine pigments were used with gemstones and other like pigments. Those Phthalo and quin pigments mixed with very granular mineral pigments actually seems to look more stunning with color separation going on. More separation happens than combining two granulating pigments. Rose of Ultramarine really separates because it's a mix using a Quinacrine and a Granulating Ultramarine. I love playing with the most granulating pigments mixing with the most transparent non granulating pigments. Or putting two granulating ones together with only one extremely transparent, non granulating pigment to see triple colors going on.

A long-time and well-respected teacher of mine recommended Mission Gold paint when I first began exploring watercolors. My first purchase was the 34 color set and as I began exploring mixing, I quickly purchased the 34 set of pure pigments. I never regret that purchase, as the paint is beautiful quality and the single pigment set has especially helped me in my learning of mixing and color theory. I was thrilled to see you use them for this video. After mixing for years now, I figured out that so many of the 'convenience' mixes were possible with what I had purchased at the beginning. I feel like Dorothy from 'The Wizard of Oz' in that, "You had it alll the time..." That isn't to say that I don't love exploring (and purchasing!) beautiful convenience colors. But videos like this are so helpful. The Sleeping Beauty color is beautiful (I am partial to aquas and teals) and I appreciate your taking the time to share your findings with us. I will certainly give it a go and thank you so much. Awesome video. :)

Love this mix, beautiful! I have the Mission Gold pure pigment set, so I’m going to give this a try. Thank you

Awesome idea and your mix looks great!

Sleeping Beauty is one of the colors I really wanted but couldn't justify paying for. I will definitely give your mix a try!

Wow!!!! You really got almost an exact match with that mix! I've been contemplating purchasing the Sleeping beauty Turquoise for quite a while now, so...this really gives me something to think about! 🤔

Wow, that's amazing! I never thought about trying to mix a Primatek. I think I'll try my fave, Sodalite. Thanks for this!

You are amazing. Great video.

Just found your channel and love watch paint drying! LOL 😆

I loved this video! Color mixing is so fun and challenging. When you started talking about mixing in the white colors, I predicted somehow that you'd end up using Buff Titanium, lol. Your color was awesome! I actually do have a tube of Sleeping Beauty Turquoise.I had it on an old dot card and fell in love with it. I've haven't used it much, even though I've put it into a palette. What do you use it for in your paintings? Is it too granulating for skies? I haven't been doing many landscapes lately - I like to do florals, mostly.

Great mix. I will give it a try. Now I have a reason to buy a set of Mission Gold paint.😊

I love you found some gorgeous mixes along with the Sleeping Beauty. Thank you for thinking of us and sharing because I love your PG50 and both PB36’s…. Just gorgeous and then adding the buff titanium…. I’ll definitely try mixing this. You definitely have determination and tenacity!! I think I’ve lost some in my older age….lol I really appreciate the time and effort you put into figuring this out and sharing your beautiful discoveries ❤

Success ! May try it.

Thank you!

Lovely!

Congrats 🎈

Very successful investigation! Also enjoyed seeing the process, plenty of interesting results there too. I took a look at your link for the Mijello… it shows cob turquoise as code w590 (b28), yet on Jackson’s open stock Mijello cob turq w590 is listed as a b28y3w6 mix - I wonder which one is correct? Maybe comparing your w590 with a mix of b28y3w6 could be a future ‘let’s mix…’ test ;)

Awesome mix I didn’t get this one or even close on the guess

Great job!

Looks like you nailed it! Thanks for the work and video. [I want to mention that Michael Harding has a Soft White that's not so cold as Titanium but not as "Pastel Raw Umber-ish" tinted as Buff Titanium. If nothing else, you can use it for highlights that are more natural than Titanium White.]
