I take issue with some of the viewers' comments about the music in this video. I'll have you all know that I lost my virginty to this song. The song is called "Wispering Icecream Cones." Also, I'm an elf. Thanks for the paint video.

Who's the psychopathic ex ice cream truck driver on the piano??

@pharoahofdreamers Really! You'd expect an art college to know better. You are absolutely right about the Indian Yellow...they don't use cuttlefish ink or cochineal beetle anymore either. Those pigment are not lightfast at all.

@NO1CRAZY Maybe it's why some people are starving artists

Remind me never to eat paint... or drink the coffee that I accidentally washed my brush in...

Thank you for the lesson.

oh and we did about 8 sets of these.. harmonizing complimentary colors, etc.. the point is, we used gouache like it was nothing.. *weeps

im a student from otis.. when we did this practice last year, we had to make at least 50+ swatches in the gradient.. so we can pick 10 that has an "even" gap.. herefore 40+ of them were just trashed. & each student cannot SHARE the gouache because it bothered my instructor if that we shared (her pet peeve). so we each had to buy our own sets of gouache.. used about 2 sets of 6 colors. (cool/warm color of each primary color).. i think everybody had a heart attack not heart ache..

Nice demo, but I just want to point out that some historical pigments, like Indian Yellow are no longer manufactured that way. I'm not sure about the rest of the pigments you mentioned, but I know for a fact that paints sold today as "Indian Yellow" are actually hues. The Indian government banned the practice of feeding cows only mango leaves many years ago. So today's paints are convenience mixtures mixed up using orange and yellow colors to mimic the original Indian Yellow color.
