已经超过一个月我们没有见了
baby abr我发过誓我不会变的
fuc i wanna marry you就现在
本来你现在应该躺在我的身边的
情歌写的好苦我又得对你抱歉了
本来想认真表白结果我又跑偏了
后悔没有多亲你几下人好贱啊
下次见到面可不许嫌我粘啊

很显然从过去到现在你一直都是

Baby LO LO LO LO LO LO LO LOVE ME

Overall Meaning

The Hookers Green No. 1 song "HEY!" is a cheerful and upbeat tribute to a woman named Rose, who seems to be a veterinarian and musician. The lyrics describe Rose driving down the freeway, experiencing road rage (which is just part of life), and greeting her dogs and a cat with happiness when she gets home. Then, the chorus repeats the phrase "Hey Rose, what you been up to? Hey Rose, come sit for a while. Hey Rose, what are you growing in that garden of yours?" The singer seems genuinely interested in Rose's life and what she's doing, and Rose shares her recipe for Italian sauce with chunky tomato and salt, which seems to be a treasure for the singer.

Overall, the song has a bright and friendly tone, which seems to reflect the relationship between Rose and the singer. While the lyrics don't provide a lot of detail about Rose's life or personality, it's clear that she's an important figure with passions for both animal care and music. The song feels like a tribute to a valued friend and mentor, capturing the warmth and affection the singer feels for Rose.

Youtube needs to get over itself. This is a seriously essential color for just about any painter! Thank you for detailing the various versions of it. I had no idea there was this wide of a range.

@soon_to_emerge

3y↑5

I once tried to discuss this colour under Teoh’s video and my comments kept getting deleted because of its name.

@lightwavz

3y↑1

Srsly!

@OtoKano

3y↑1

yeaaaahhhhh they just take words and if it gets used in a bad way at all, out it goes :(

@Kaninchenbau

3y↑12

Man with all the variety in hues you could totally do an entire palette where the only greens you have are named Hooker's Green 😂 Absolutely in love with the M. Graham and Roman Szmal ones, those are such gorgeous hues 🥺💚

@OtoKano

3y↑1

yeah they are all SO lovely :D

@alanefideler7234

3y↑14

I swear, no matter the color, I’m so excited every time a new video is up!

@OtoKano

Aw thank you so much for looking forward to these videos!

@EveBolt

3y↑7

They're all so different!! I love the more muted ones :D
I'll also have to play with new gamboge and PB27 :D

oh I'm so glad the verbal description helps. Never actually took this into consideration before so thank you for bringing it to my attention. I'll bare it in mind! :D

@LanaGoesArt

This is a wonderful overview. The differences in colour are huge in the Hooker's Greens, I didn't even anticipate that (despite of having swatched a few of them myself). I like the new test on black paper a lot :)

@OtoKano

3y↑1

Yeah I'm surprised at how different the hues are depending on the brand too.

@foreverlearningart

I was online looking to buy this color in the QoR line, but wanted something that leans more yellow. Thank you for your comparison! You just saved me a bunch of research time AND I settled on Daniel Smith. Thank you so much!

@lindsayjayne2169

Another wonderful watercolor comparison, thankYOU!💖

@catherinelevison3310

I had put my Schmincke aside for about 1 year and then tried to paint a landscape with it. So drab and opaque. I’m clearly happier with transparent colors. I also steered away from Hooker’s because it seemed too neon for me. Looks like I would enjoy the M Graham one. Thanks!

@KRCanetti

3y↑2

Wprd at Youtube: this is an art- and paint / pigmentchannel. Please, do not demonetize this, as others already said: Hooker's Green is an essential green color on almost every painters palette.
Thank you;, Oto for comparing these for us. I have several of them but I often use the one my mother left me: Rembrandt's.

@MissMagic

3y↑1

I think the Roman Szmal is my favourite, probably the closest to what William Hooker actually used. Hooker and Payne today generally seem to bear little to no resemblance to what the painters actually used.

@KnightYu

3y↑1

I remember LMAO 🤣 the first time I heard of this green. My thought was "consort", "companion" or something else would be more appropriate in today's culture 😃. Of course, knowing the history, it shouldn't matter 💚 Second only to DS Green Apatite Gen, Hooker's is my fave Green. It has such depth & versatility.

@OtoKano

@libbyandbrianbundrick3270

Sennelier's PG36 on its own is weirdly opaque too. It doesn't list anything else in the formula, but I've wondered if it has white or something else added to it.

@MelanCholy2001

3y↑2

Sennelier's got 2 PG36 paints: ITA that the emerald has something extra in it (not listed) but the 'sennelier green' is the transparent pg36. I'm good with the cinereous blue (mimics cerulean I guess) because they list it's just phthalo plus white... but I won't mix it because I end up with the unintentional mess (Esp in clouds/skies.) Similarly, they should list whatever's in 'emerald' because of the potential mess. Imo. And I like Sennelier a lot, but that's a shortcoming.

@gaydreadknight3941

It's always a bummer PG8 isn't available commercially (except from White Nights, I think?). Like, sure it's not very lightfast, but it's SUCH a good color

@MissMagic

3y↑1

White Nights (and their student brand Sonnet), Renesans (Polish brand , Mir (Spanish brand) and Rosa Gallery (Ukrainian).

Hi. Great video. Regarding Old Holland-I have like 10 different half pans of Old Holland and never have I experienced any bubbling or other issues you've mentioned. Actually Old Holland, in my opinion, is an incredibly vibrant and lovely brand of paint...Tho I do paint quit slow and gentle, so perhaps that has something to do with it?. Also I wonder if the bumbling could be from your water in your area or some other outside factor bc Ive never experienced anything but lovely paining with Old Holland and I'd definitely recommend this brand. Anyway...great video. Thanks for sharing♥️

@sodabeentjes

3y↑1

I love painting with Old Holland paints as well! I have never experienced bubbling issues either. I do however notice a difference in their pan or tube formula. The tubes are quite heavy on the binder, where the pans are just lovely to paint with, and you hardly need any paint! So I'm thinking Oto uses their tubes, and that's why she might have issues?

@OtoKano

3y↑2

thank you for proving more info on the bubbling, it's so useful. There seems to be a mix of people across the different videos of those who have never experienced the bubbling and who have. It'll be good to do more test on this at some point :)

@nadeaner.cowley513

@sodabeentjes Yea that makes sense, I cant remember if she specified what form she was using.
Ive only used Old Holland in half pans but Im happy to know now to perhaps skip their tube paint-especially since painting with binder heavy watercolor paint is, in my opinion, a not so favorable experience...What are your fav colors from Old Holland? Im in love with their Cobalt colors, just beautiful!

@sodabeentjes

@Nadeane R. Cowley I haven't tried their cobalt colours yet, apart from the cerulean blue deep, which is very nice! I love their Golden Barok red, Red gold lake, Scheveningen purple brown, and of course their manganese blue! Though they have switched formula now to a hue, I was able to get the original. Scheveningen Violet and Caribean blue are also stunning, they have too many nice colours 😅

@sodabeentjes

@Dr. Oto Kano That would be interesting! Underneath Jane Blundells blogpost of the full Old Holland line swatches, she also mentions that her tubes were full of gum arabic, and she advises the pans over the tubes. I found that very interesting, as I concluded the same with the tubes I had.

@Halo2glitchlover22

At 11:02 you mention that PG36 is pthalo green, but I thought PG7 was pthalo green and PG36 was cobalt chromite (also sometimes known as cerulean blue or cobalt turquoise).

@irritatedlibrarian9057

Cerulean or Cobalt blue are made with PB36, while PG36 is phthalo green yellow shade.

@karenmorris11

I find this so helpful and interesting!!

@MissMagic

If you like that Qor colour, look at colours named prussian green. I think Schmincke make it with pb60.

@amberzartwork1466

3y↑1

C'mon youtube, yeesh. Thanks for this! I have a wee tube of Rembrandt Hooker's Green, which is PG7 & PY150, and it's very nice but I largely use it for mixing up shadows or greys, and I'm running low on it. I'm seriously considering that QoR one because I think it might work even better for shadows and neutrals. Also, I'm partial to QoR. I don't know if the price is justified either, but they go on sale every so often, and I love the non-earth tones they have.

@OtoKano

so this is when I tell you next series I'm working on is swatching all the QoR colors???

@amberzartwork1466

@Dr. Oto Kano YESSSSSS!! Oh my gosh! Yay!!!! :D

@bryama2129

Wow...hookers green is interesting color. Its very different from one brand to another. Personally my fav are from mijello and sennelier

@OtoKano

3y↑1

Yeah I was surprised at just how different they were too!

@Jaime-Works

3y↑2

Oto you are a treasure.

@OtoKano

Aw thank you <3

@jimicrumb3700

3y↑4

It would be cool if you made a video about your favorite neutrals and how to mix perfect neutrals. Daniel Smith did come out with a signature grey series witch I really enjoy using Joseph Z's cool grey. A cheaper alternative than buying the separate tubes for mixing.
Thank you for making these videos really good information and relaxing. Really helps me with my anxiety.

@OtoKano

I already have videos on how to mix neutrals! It's part of the color theory playlist, have a look :)

@jimicrumb3700

@Dr. Oto Kano Oh, thank you. I was looking through but I couldn't find it :)

@susanshirley823

Hi Oto! I’m curious about why you’re trying to replace Jadeite. I try to stay up on all your videos but maybe missed something? Just recently acquired Jadeite and am looking forward to seeing what it does. Can you enlightenment please? And to repeat what others have said: thank you so much for your channel.

@OtoKano

3y↑1

so there's a controversy with DS primatek paints that are just way too big for me to explain in a comment sections, but short of it is that they add other pigments into the primatek paints that they do not declare. As I say, way more than that tho. Also, the DS CEO is intollerable and shady AF. Also also, they just hired someone who blatantly copied my swatch sheets without credit (and sells them) as their ambassador artist. I still LOVE DS paints and the paints have done nothing wrong. But for the high price of Primatek paints, if I can find a cheaper version with less controversies, I would like that too.

@susanshirley823

@Dr. Oto Kano thank you so much. For responding. Now that I think about it I see why. I’m sad that happened with your swatch card. Is there any way we as your supporters can help make that right?

@lellemaris3731

3y↑1

Great Video, as always, Oto! If someone loves the Qor's Hooker's Green and doesn't want to invest that much money: my Van Dyke Green from Mijello looks pretty much the same, it's made of PG7+PBr25

@bryama2129

You're right and I love mijello van dyke green. I think sometimes I feel its also a bit looks like sennelier forest green...I dont know

@OtoKano

wooo thanks for that tip Lelle!

@jorgedieguez7342

DS and W/N are my preferred of this group

@marlenaamalfitano1558

Once again, thank you.

@DustyMusician

3y↑24

Oh, come on, Maimeri. That’s just chromium oxide green

@hershelroswell

3y↑7

it's times like these where the maimeriblu range being exclusively single pigments tends to trip them up. sure, pure pigments are good, but there's nothing wrong with a nice convenience mix (and a lot of these greens sure as hell qualify for nice convenience mixes!)

@heelerjustheeler879

3y↑2

Yes, and not even a very nice one. QoR's PG17 is so pretty in comparison, for example.

@OtoKano

3y↑5

lmao you said what I was thinking!!

@annettefournier9655

Thanks Oto. 💜

@moonlightbrightnight

Omg this help so much

@squid24736

wow, I was JUST looking at your patreon a few minutes ago!! soon.... when I save some more money

@FuriedHearts

What an odd coincidence. You’re right- there are two William Hookers. Both born around 1779/1785 and both botanical artists

@FuriedHearts

Lmfaoooo not getting demonetized because of saying Hooker so many times 😂
