Very nice comparison, thank you. I like Roman Szmal’s Potter’s Pink, for it’s ease of rewetting and tone of its color. I think of it as more “cheery” than the others. And you can’t beat its price point. It’s a more difficult color to do comparisons with since it’s pretty much the same across brands, with rewetting/pigment load being its sad drawback (that can be said for any color but when it comes to PP its formula is definitely tricky). There are small-business versions that are a delight to use but for major companies you’ve made a good selection. I’m enjoying your videos; your calm style is very welcome 🌺

You are welcome. I do have several handmade watercolors of Potter's Pink which are lovely but I want the comparisons to stick to main brands overall. And thank you so much for your kind comments about my calm style!

I mostly use Daniel Smith watercolor, but I switched from Daniel Smith Potter’s Pink to Winsor Newton's Potter’s Pink years ago and never looked back. I love the color on its own and mixed. But after watching this video, I wouldn't mind trying Roman Szmal's Potter’s Pink. Great comparison! Thanks! 🎨🖌

Thank you for letting me know what brand you use and what you would like to try! This is why I love to do the color comparisons because we are all so different in our choices.

Love this format, thank you so much! I wish the video quality was better to see the difference more clearly

You are very welcome and I live in the country with a little better than dial up so I'm thankful I can upload at all.

Thank you for this. I am a huge Roman Szmal fan after your video of them that you posted in July. I received a beautiful set for my birthday in August (the Pasqualino Fracasso set) and after that I got myself the Jane Blundall set plus several additional colors. (All from Jackson's - which has the best prices and a full selection of them) I just last week ordered I think 7 or 8 additional colors, and now see that today they are having them on sale again. They have sales on them quite often - every several weeks, it seems. Oh - and they have the new colors Roman Szmal just put out as well. I attribute their ease of rewetting to the fact that they use honey in the binder. I also enjoy M Graham paint and they also use honey. This is something I find myself drawn to as well as lightfastness and pigment load. From what I hear, the reason you may have to use so much Winsor & Newton is due to not containing as much pigment. I have not used them, but they don't seem like the type of paint that would fit me if I depended on what I have seen from various artists here on KZread. The Daniel Smith paint seems to be quite overpriced for me and they are really fond of specialty or convenience mixes. I do have a couple sets from them - both pan and small tube - which contain some of their favorite paints (like Moonglow and Serpentine Genuine, which is one of the Prima Mineral paints in their line, I think) The mineral paints from DS are usually highly granulating, which is why it looks so good with all the Potter's Pinks and they all like to separate so nicely. It is a really pretty and interesting look. However, after finding companies such as Roman Szmal which has such great quality for so much less, I feel like I will be picking up more of those instead. As far as the Schminke paints, I have a wonderful sample of them - again purchased at Jackson's in a set made just for them - that contains their 18 greatest hits of super granulating paints. There are 18, 5ml tubes in that set and it really gives a good representation of the Schminke line. The "Galaxy Rose" is very similar to Potter's Pink in those paints, and is a lovely color. I did fine though that many of the paints in that set are quite thin in pigment load,although if you use enough of them they are pretty for different effects. Most of the granulating paints need a lot of water to move and allow the pigments to settle for the granulating effect, but I feel that that leaves the paint looking thin. I hope I am being clear on this. My first Potter's was also the Schminke, but I find the Roman Szmal is 'pinker' and I may like it better. It is a personal choice though. And it depends on what I am painting. Anyway - sorry to be so lengthy. I guess I could go on about paint forever. HA! Thank you for the interesting and informative vide. :)

@@kellyhoernig Thank you. I am glad you don't mind my insights. I think we all learn from each other. :)

I use DS Potter's Pink a lot, I like the more neutral color because you can add it to any color to get that granulation. Out of the tube it's better, but I just add a drop of vegetable glycerine to my pans of Potter's Pink to make it rewettable. In the future I might try the Winsor Newton version as it's about the same price as DS in the US, and is a lovely color. I like adding PP to Cerulean Blue for some skies as it mixes without making a violet.

Thank you for letting me know about the DS tube, I will give it a try. The mixes sounds incredible and I can just imagine the lovely granulation in those mixed colors, wow!

Lovely comparison vid. I love the Roman Szmal Potters Pink and use it often. I love the pinkier hues and softness of it, opposed to the brownier shades. I also love the fact that the RS one rewets so easily and the creaminess of it.

The brightness and easy rewetting is a huge plus for sure. Just wish I had a tube so I could put it into a lot of different palettes. Thank you for your comments!

Hi Kelly I i really enjoyed watching you do these mixes! Ive never really mixed colors like that but the way you did this with just a few at the time seems doable and not so crazy. Thanks for this very interesting helpful video! Susan🏜️❤️

I always try to make it not complicated or I won't do it. Just grabbing a couple of paints and playing around it definitely more my style and the way I like to play with mixing colors. Glad you were inspired!

Re Daniel Smith, flood the half pan quite a bit so all the paint softens, add one drop of glycerin and stir thoroughly with a toothpick, let the pan re dry ( May take a few days). This may help. ♥️🎨

Thank you for another wonderful video. I started with DS watercolors, but I'm replacing those with primarily Da Vinci and Schmincke. Have you tried DV's violet iron oxide? It's granulating, and has a much richer chroma that I really enjoy. It's much creamier than the Potter's Pink as well.

It is very nice and that surprised me after many WN tube color let downs. Thanks for letting me know, I appreciate your comments!

I do appreciate these revelations! I only have the Schminke potters pink in this pigment and I find it quite brown…I think I’d like the pinker RS or WN more. I have heard that the WN in the company’s pan version gives a more satisfactory and consistent payout and will rewet better than if you make your own pan from a tube of it. Apparently it then hardens rock hard like DS. Your WN tube swatches looked very good, though!

WN says that their formulas for tubes and pans are different and they recommend not decanting tube paints into pans …Sooo, When making up palettes or pans with ‘dollops’ of WN tube paint, I try to remember to add a titch of food grade glycerin (Wilton’s) and mix it in thoroughly. That is,just the drop that clings to the tip of the toothpick! It hasn’t failed me yet 😏 . However, I’ve heard potter’s pink is a tad problematic and folks recommend buying it manufacturer panned.

It is difficult to see granulation of the pigments with the strong texture of the watercolor paper you're using.

@kellyhoernig

It is the paper I use on a regular basis so I guess I am just use to the texture on it and see past it for the granulation. Thanks so much for your comments!

Correction the video I watched was with “potter’s pink” being the last swatch having been blended with I think a green color.
