I didn't understand why so many people include this color to their palette, but now I'm using it too! Much better than plain white for pastels and very useful on its own as well :D
I bought it for making beach scenes since it makes the perfect sand color without having to heavily dilute a different color and still have it be slightly off.
I bought a set of RSZ - 25 pans, and compared the full set of swatches to new tubes of Daniel Smith, MH, and W&N. The RSZ colors are accurate and nearly as vibrant, but I was very surpised to find zero defects on any of the swatch gradients. No bumps uneven grains, streaks, shifts💌 or blooms. The working texture of this paint brand, across the entire color spectrum, is flawless. 💌
Thank you for posting this. I was also experimenting with Buff Titanium these days, and love how it softens colors and how it helps create a unified and elegant palette.
🤣🙈 i didn’t even notice that! thanks hippo! i definitely didn’t mean for that. i wonder if i can cut that part out in the youtube editor. i’ll need to figure it out.
@@PaintinHiding Let's just say that the people who saw that movie have difficulty not laughing, when the subject is PBr25. I put up a link, but my computer crashed and I thought it was karma; but maybe you deleted it. It's not too naughty. I guess a lot of people aren't familiar with it as it was from the 1970s. You'll just have to blame me if you type in to RUclips search at the top center of the screen "pbr25 the groove tube". Of all the pigments... how can people take PBr25 seriously?
Yes! I started using it a few years ago, I felt so silly at first buying such a dull neutral pan of nothingness but it quickly became my most frequent re-order 🤣 I love vibrant pigments but I also love dusty versions of them and Buff Titanium does that perfectly, while adding delicious granulation. I could watch this video on repeat, so relaxing.
I love to add texture with buff titanium, and it's wonderful in mixes with various browns for sand. Also works beautifully to mute and unify colors! Thank you for the video... i can see there are more Roman Szmal colors i might "need" 😅
Beautiful colours and I love your style for showing the mixes - letting the pigments vibe together on their own. It's good when people show them well mixed too, but your way shows off some of the individual pigment properties in the mix better. Thank you for sharing; I adore Buff Titanium ❤
omg i almost didn't recognize you! thank goodness yyour profile pic hasn't changed, i hope you're doing well! :D i'm so glad you like the mix method here. i know it's not for everyone so i appreciate that you appreciate it too
I haven't tried this but I do have the Daniel Smith grey titanium which also mixes well with everything for an "instant vintage" kind of look. It's the same pigment but a bit darker, more like Roman Szmal's aquarius grey. I love how those swatches turned out!
my eye is attracted to deep intense heavily pigmented colors but then when I try to use my beautiful intense colors in landscapes, they're just not right. white makes a pale pastel which isn't what I want. Adding a bit of a complimentary color yields interesting results but still isn't right..Buff titanium, however, does the trick!
I just luv Roman Szmal watercolours. Always open on my desk! Would luv the whole range, but very expensive in South Africa - where the wish lists are long, but art-materials very expensive
Thank you for focusing on this color. I recently bought a paint stick by Daniel Smith, and I'm still figuring out how to use it. It is definitely darker and duller than white, but I could the mixes would be nice in cityscapes, especially for old painted houses.
I haven't used it for anything but beach scenes and flesh mixes, but you've inspired me to use it for dried roses. The muting seems to be perfect for it.
Thank you for this video. Yes, I do use Buff Titanium. Primarily, I was using it for limestone buildings mixed with a bit of Monte Amiata Natural Sienna. But more recently, I have mixed it with Quin Magenta and a little bit of Bismuth Orange to get a beautiful warm pinky shade for Mediterranean buildings. I’m exploring mixing it with other colors and it’s great to see your mixes here. I am excited to try my own. 😊
I would not want to miss buff titanium since I use it (have the Rembrandt variant though, but they are very similar pigment-wise, Rembrandt just uses gum arabic only as a binder). I use it as the "off white", more realistic pastel mixes, and on its own for bright sand and also as a very pale skintone, as it blends nicely especially with earth tones. Since I got Strontium Violet recently, thx for that inspiration, they seem to like each other.
as someone who paints a lot of wildlife, I started off my palette with buff and aquarius grey due to how useful I thought they'd be with that subject, and I felt very 'boring' lol, but they're def my favourites! I love how much calm they bring to other colours
I LOVE and use buff titanium all the time, have it in every palette and own it by various brands, my favorites are in stock so I would never run out, on its own and especially mixed it is wonderful indeed, it doesn’t muddy the colours to much in my opinion but tones them down well. Buff titanium plus Rose of Ultramarine… 💕 Ah, I’m in love and appreciate this wonderful swatching session and spreading the word ;)
I think I just found it in my paint box. It’s the one paint I’ve never used and now I see it is the colours of my landscape. I actually live in a town where ilminite is mined. It is the ore that titanium is refined from and it’s the colour of the beach and the sea and the trees and the rocks.
Very nice... I see for the strong color you're mixing on the paper and I'm wondering how you get the other swatch. Also, have you tried the grey titanium?
ohh yes, so the other swatches are just diluted. i basically do the top swatch and then dip my brush in clean water and swatch again. that''s all. hope that helps. and yes, i have already done a quick vid comparing this buff titanium and aquarius grey. i think my vid is called PW6:1 comparison. i love both. :)
I knew it was buff titanium just by the thumbnail! 😁 DEFINITELY underrated, even by myself a little because I definitely don’t use it as much as I should.
Great video. Im still learning watercolour and do understand what is explained but am I right in thinking that the side effect of using this paint is that it drastically makes your mix opaque (gouache like)?
yes, the pigment PW6 titanium white and this buff titanium PW6:1 has semi-opaque characteristic so it will definitely make your mixes more opaque. but i wouldn’t say it makes it “drastically” opaque. and definitely NOT gouache-like at all.
I keep 2 tubes on my desk. DaVinci for softer, ethereal mixes and Daniel Smith for more robust mixes. Easier than trying to put it in each of my palettes.
I use buff titanium for beach paintings and for skin tones. But after seeing these mixes, I can't wait to try it in other paintings. The greens was something I never even thought about

I love buff titanium.
I mix it with sodalite genuine for rocks. I have used it with quin red for skin tones. It has a permanent place on my palette.
Thank you for another great and unique color demo

5:05 Twenty second dramatic pause waiting for the PBr25 to drop timed perfectly with the music.
I've been waiting for Dirty Blue to do a PBr25. I've got the film clip on the ready. Nice to know that there are others out there.
🤣🙈 i didn’t even notice that! thanks hippo! i definitely didn’t mean for that. i wonder if i can cut that part out in the youtube editor. i’ll need to figure it out.
@@PaintinHiding Oh. I thought hippo's comment was made in reference to the movie "The Groove Tube". Oohps.

Love buff titanium for this exact reason!
Ahh, this is interesting. I finally tried it a few months ago but haven’t painted much since. Love the versatility and of watercolour in general.
I love buff titanium for mixing pastel colours, it makes the prettiest pastels ever!
Thanks Vee! That granulation in the strontium violet mix is really nice. Buff titanium is an under appreciated workhorse.

Glad it was helpful!

hope u like it!

It is true; Buff Titanium is a an underrated paint. I’d love to try it one day.
This was so enjoyable to watch!

I love to mix it with cerulean. It makes a lovely color.
I makes the colors look like cloudy sky its a cool effect
I LOVE RS and yes, I use Buff Titanium quite a bit.
RS Buff T. Is the best! Absolutely adore his paints!
Beautiful.

i definitely think aquarius grey is another under-rated colour. i'm glad to know we have something in common :D
@@PaintinHiding aw nice, so glad you think so too! It's such a good neutraliser, and looks so soft and lovely on it's own too!
Yes. It transforms colors. You have to be there.
literally using it just last night for a rocky landscape
also have used for beach!

@@PaintinHiding I just watched your Rembrandt video, and Rembrandt‘s buff titanium is my absolute favourite on it‘s own, for mixes Roman Szmal wins 💕

I wish u could have shown the color u were mixing with the TB first
feedback noted!
I clicked into this video fully expecting the underestimated color to be Lavendar 😂😂😂
