No quibble from me, Robert - to each his own :) | ||
Robert |
Maimeriblu Indian Yellow and Maimeriblu burnt sienna. (Perhaps modified with Cadmiuym Scarlet or Van Gogh Peremanent Red violet for extra brillance depending upon circumstances). I can easily mix "up" to the DS quins. but I can't use the DS quins to mix "down" easily. I limit my palette to 12 -13 colors. To each his own. | ||
Zoe |
Robert - for a minute I was confused by your response, then I realized that you feel that these two QuinS are not natural enough for you. I live up high and can see the tree tops. Now in the North, the trees are as vibrantly coloured as they ever will be and if I was in the mind set to paint them I'd gladly pick up the Quin Burnt Orange as one of several colours to use. What would you use? | ||
Robert |
Well, They are too intense to be of much use for a naturalistic painter. | ||
Zoe |
Joanna, I think I'm okay. I've been experimenting on and off, while also painting :) and I think I have the CORAL covered, more or less. As I said it was just childish greed that I thought I needed another paint colour. But I appreciate your offer very much, thanks! | ||

That's fine with just maroon--but I was going to send you a sample of the (gold was it?) and a spare bottle but if you want to pass, I am cool on it. | ||
Zoe |
Joanna - I don't have the two colours to swap (only W& Perylene Maroon and no little bottles. Probably best for me to keep playing with Robert's suggestions :) for the Q. Coral - but I'll probably succumb like I do to these urges. Thanks anyway! | ||
jdaneman |
You FLUSHED them down the terlet? Whatsamattayou? They are quite pretty! Zoe, my email ate your letter. | ||
Zoe |
Robert - I'm still at home with a flu, so reading on line. What didn't you like about the Quin's? I like them thus far. | ||
Robert |
I wish I had known about others like for thse, I actually flushed down the toilet a DS q. sienna and q. burnt orange when I received them. | ||
Zoe |
Joanna - I sent you an email; hope you receive it. | ||
jdaneman |
I could use Mars Yellow and Perylene maroon. If you want a second paint sample, lmk. I can send empty pots for you if you don't have any. I have a bunch. | ||
Zoe |
If there is a DS that you want and don't have let me know and we can do a trade. I have quite a few of them and Grahams, too - if you are interested in honey :) I'm not going to even look at Joe's Quins til Spring or Summer. I'm probably going to make one run down to Asheville and will drive over to Joe's to see their spread. Let me know. | ||

Well, I have some 5 ml pots with screw caps, made of clear plastic, wanna dab to try? Want to swap for another DS color? I use these little pots to carry tube paint that I don't have in half pans when I travel. I just ran a test of the quin colors from Cheap Joes. The Old Sienna is a very nice quin burnt orange. The quin series have quin burnt orange with varying amounts of Iron Oxide in them. The lucky penny and copper kettle weren't that different to merit buying them (although the Kettle was a nice deep sienna brown.) The "Pomegranate" is a warmer, redder Quin Rose, better than Am Journey's regular Permanent Rose, and the "Poppy" is a nice napthol red. Nothing came close to DS's quin coral, though a mix of the Old Sienna and Poppy was close..but no cigar. | ||

Joanna - I'm not ready to sell any watercolours I've painted but I'll keep that in mind - and it is really a matter of my personal little colour greed that made me bring up the subject (again) - I have enough paint to fill 6 large tupperwares (and I mean large) but I was taken with this and several other colours. Thanks for sharing what you have and think! | ||
jdaneman |
Well, I fund my supplies by selling a painting or two, or I auction off tubes I am not going to use (mostly unopened) on Ebay. The funds that come in are earmarked for new supplies. I like the AJ colors for big paintings, but DS is SO BRIGHT and beautiful. I find I use AJ sky blue and Coffee with Cream a lot for blending. But nothing substitues for the quin colors from DS. I just placed an CJ order for the quin series to see how they stack up, however. CJ stands by the AJ colors, and the 37 ml tubes are tempting to one who tends to paint big. | ||
Zoe |
Thanks, Joanna - I think I'm just being a spoiled brat - wanting it all. I tried a few mixs and I think I can get something similar to the Coral - I love autumn :) And if I paint more I'll feel less guilty about getting more paint when I already have a treasure trove of colour choices. Have a good one! | ||

Zoe, you can wait until you need 12 or so basic colors from Daniel Smith, and then order the Quin Coral with a 12% discount and free shipping. There is a special place to order a palette's worth of their colors. I did get the quin coral. It's a wonderful shade. Yes, it is a very warm rose, think if you blended the colors in a Peace rose, or if you are watching a sunset. I also got a free tube of quin deep gold, which is as wonderful as they claim it to be. The palette discount is a great feature--sooner or later paint runs out and you have to restock, so that's what I did. Also, they have occasionally palette mini-features, where one of the shades you might like is in a trio--no shipping on these if ordered alone, and the price is also discounted. | ||

Back to Quin Coral. I really want to try this colour but shipping is so costly. Is it worth getting it or is it just another convenience colour? I just mixed Quin Rose over P. Maroon - turned out beautifully but it is obviously more on the pink/red side than the orange! | ||

Although the Maimeriblu colors are simillar, I feel that they are not near as transparentand luminous...at least as I apply them in to the kind of paper I usually use. I've not tried the WN Red | ||
Robert |
Sarita--imagine mixing a bit of burnt sienna into your quinacridone rose--just a bit--that takes you in the direction of quinacridone coral. You can get the same thing (same pigment) in W&N quinacridone red or less expensive and just as good--tiazano red by maimeriblu--same thing as q. coral. A hotter, warmer version of Q. rose I would recommend is Rose Lake by Maimeribklu--a genuinely warm quinacridone rose. | ||
Kukana |
The QuinCoral is one of my favorites and nothing like the Quin Rose I use them both! I'd reccommnd splurging and buyng the set of QUIN from DS. You save money and you will not be disappointed! | ||

Has anyone used Daniel Smith's Quin. Coral? I presently use Quin. Rose, but I would like a warmer color. It really hard to tell the difference in the catalog. Thanks all. |
