That peach looks good enough to eat! I prefer the Schmincke potter's pink also; I haven't tried it for skintones yet (although I am now intrigued), but I do love to paint warm-colored metals with it. Mixed with quin gold, it produces a gorgeous "worn copper" look, perfect for steampunk paintings!
Potters Pink is in my palette too. I love its duskiness, it’s earthiness. There is a color in the fashion world called Ashes of Roses which to me could be another name for Potters Pink. I have the DS version, but it is so difficult to re-wet and get too little color from it. I am going to promptly order another brand, probably WN. So glad I discovered you!
I'm so happy you made this video!potter's pink is one of my favourite pigments and i've been using it a lot to give a soft texture to backgrounds, to knitted shirts and also to give the impression that there is pink in the painting without making it super saturated like the quin colours. i use the winsor and newton version because of the price ^^' i hope brands like Sennelier and M graham try to make this colour i bet those versions would the best to rewet! Thank you for making this video, A big hug 💕 Francisca
I have two tubes of w&n rose madder as it’s one of my favorite colors and I never even knew that it wasn’t lightfast or THAT IT SMELLED LIKE ROSES!! what a cool color. Wish it had permanence but it’s good to know it can easily be replicated
I got Cotman's Potters Pink yesterday. I mixed it with a bit of burnt seinna for the sand in an oceanscape and it came out exactly how I wanted it (for once!). I can see this will be a go-to color. Thanks for the demo!
Thank you for sharing your knowledge on this pigment! I would love to try it, I like pigment oddballs ^^. I want to create a palette with only granulating colours one day including potters pink.
What a beautiful peach! I use DS Potter's Pink PR233 (actually have an old tube of DS with the original Pinkcolor name!) in my landscape palette. I especially love it with DS Piemontite and Burnt Sienna for stones, beaches, buildings and atmosphere. Was inspired by your cerulean review to add it a bit to skies. I often add a drop of glycerine to help make it more re-wettable. Thanks for giving me even more ways to use this color, it just has the most unique and natural granulation pattern. Agree that you make it sound so snuggly :)
It's a colour on my wishlist. When I was buying the first batch of DS paints, I was torn between potter's pink and red fuschite genuine and ended up with red fuschite because I loved the glittery affect it gave and wanted to be able to use it to add a little extra something to my art. I will definitely be getting potter's pink at some point down the road.
I got PP after I saw it at the store and looked at a video describing how you can use it to make beautiful muted tones. I like the idea of using varying amounts of it with each color in a multicolor palette as a unifying mix-in for a muted painting.
As a beginner in watercolors, I am learning so much from your paint tutorials. The information about what the paints are made of and their properties and the differences of manufactures of that paint and how they differ have been very helpful.
Cool video! I hadn't given much thought to this pigment before. I really love how you referred to some color mixtures as gentle - I don't know why but it just made me feel all snuggly
Thank you for this really helpful demonstration! I am new to watercolor painting and am trying to learn more about what various colors can do. You helped me a lot in this video.
I love Potter's Pink. The one I have is from Winsor and Newton and is slight more pink hue and a little less granulating than DS but a beautiful color nonetheless
I really enjoyed this pigment spotlight! Thank you for sharing not only the history of the color, but opinions, and suggestions on how to use it :) As someone just learning how to watercolor, this was very insightful and interesting.
I lov this! this is not something i would have even considered getting as i dont really use much by way of pinks but this is really interesting! I cant wait to see what other pigments you feature.
Yeah I could totally see that. At first I was pretty skeptical, but after using it just a bit I saw that it has a lot of possibilities! I’m really excited to get back on this series and talk about some more unknown and lesser used colors!
I’ve been hearing some people say what a great color this was but never gravitated to it. I ordered it a few days ago to see what all the talk was about. I’m starting to get excited about trying it. Thanks for a great video on this pigment.
I'll get a tube of this at my art shop tomorrow. I keep hearing its hard to re-wet so ill try to add a few drops of glycerin to the pan to loosen it up a bit.
Thank you for this new video! When I first started watercolors I didn't think I would like granulation so much. I don't have potter's pink(yet) in my palette but I was considering purchasing it since it's very subtle to mix with other colors. I would use it to mix and have it as an undertone for hair. Granulation colors are awesome for hair, giving more body and texture that the hair usually has. BTW that one soft triad was so pretty!! In special the mixes with the soft yellow and the cerulean XD
Oooh I have never thought about using that technique for (human) hair, I’ve gotta try it out! At first I hated granulation. I thought there was no point! 😆But now I love using granulating colors for their unique effects. It’s all about knowing how to control it I think. As a newbie it’s too confusing and a bit scary till you get more of a handle on watercolors. I’m glad you like the triad! It’s just soft and gentle. Some of my favorite colors!
Where have you been all of my life? Your post is so educational!! I hope you have other videos! I have the Daniel Smith version and it IS hard to work with. I actually avoid it. I will try it again ...maybe mixing will help me find a use for it.
Fabulous! Thank you for this pigment spotlight. Potter's Pink is on my list but I hadn't bought it yet because I wasn't sure what I would do with it. This is a great list of possibilities and it was so helpful to watch you mix different colors and paint that juicy peach1
thank you for this! I use Potters Pink when painting French buildings. Now I will experiment in other ways - especially liked the mixes. . . . I have the Winsor Newton version on my palette. Didn't like the DS version but that was when it first came out. Haven't tried it in several years. As an aside, I can't find a video on the cerulean blue you mentioned??
Yes ! It’s really nice for French buildings. I think I did a video where I used it on some Swiss French buildings and it worked out perfectly! Here’s the link to the zirconium cerulean video ruclips.net/video/3-QWAZIQ5ME/видео.html
Great video! I've been wanting to get a potter's pink for a while now, but they're too expensive to justify for me now. What might be a nice alternative or self-mix, especially wrt the granulation, not just the hue? What I really love about it is the granulation!!!
Great vid Sadie, always interesting thoughtful and thoughtful commentary. Love the demo of this colour. It's not on my palette but have a NEED for it now :)
What an helpful pigment review! I just bought a tube of Sennelier's but haven't used it yet. This is a pigment I'll use out of the tube. Hmmm; are peaches in season? Your tutorial is making me hungry for peaches!
Thanks for the video - the triad looks gorgeous! Also, very useful to see other people’s uses for Potter’s Pink. Love this pigment! Saw my comment about Schmincke version and walls :D I use it all the time for the exact mixes you listed - it creates amazing muted violets, some lighter purplish greys and granular blues. With PV19 it looks very dreamy and it separates whenever I mix with Rich Green Gold with browny pinky undertones. Have you ever tried the Kremer version? That’s one I am most curious about.
And maybe even the easiest to rewet ^_^ Would be great to have the triad with Zirconium Cerulean and a Cool yellow all from Kremer Pigments. Will try once the wallet allows it :D
Everytime I see artists use potters pink, I put it on my list, but it never got so far, that I bought it. So sadly, I have never tried it out - maybe I should do that. Especially, now that I know, that Schmincke has a nice version of it and my main palette is Schmincke :)
Your voice is like butter. Lovely video to watch and listen to. I really want to purchase a potters pink but I just spent $40 Australian dollars on Daniel Smith's Sleeping Beauty 15mL tube so I hope to find a potters pink that won't break the bank. Have you admired any other brands you could recommend?
Has anyone mixed their own version of a sub for Potter's Pink watercolor? I can't buy this product any time soon and want to use it in a couple of paintings. I love this muted pink color! Potter's Pink is a single pigment so research didn't point me to anything close to this color.
I didn't know I needed that pastel triad, but I doo. Dang it, I was trying so so hard not to buy more pigments but I'm sold.
😂 I wasn’t even trying to be an enabler this time, I promise!
That peach looks good enough to eat! I prefer the Schmincke potter's pink also; I haven't tried it for skintones yet (although I am now intrigued), but I do love to paint warm-colored metals with it. Mixed with quin gold, it produces a gorgeous "worn copper" look, perfect for steampunk paintings!
I will have to try it for that in the future! I would not have expected it to be so perfect for those colors, but it is!

This is an incredibly earthy pink! And I love how it mixed with the other two colors you featured. Thank you!
Right? It’s like pink, but not too pink! I love it 😊
I'm so happy you made this video!potter's pink is one of my favourite pigments and i've been using it a lot to give a soft texture to backgrounds, to knitted shirts and also to give the impression that there is pink in the painting without making it super saturated like the quin colours. i use the winsor and newton version because of the price ^^' i hope brands like Sennelier and M graham try to make this colour i bet those versions would the best to rewet!

Yes! A fully granulating palette sounds so dreamy ☺️ (also yes, unusual colors are my favvvvvv)

The peach made me drool !
Love the Potters Pink from A. Gallo.
Fruit basket to come...

I love Potter's Pink. The one I have is from Winsor and Newton and is slight more pink hue and a little less granulating than DS but a beautiful color nonetheless
I’d love to compare all of them some time. But they all look beautiful!
Potter’s pink is a color I haven’t gotten to try yet, weirdly, but I’ve seen it plenty and thought it’s quite pretty!
It’s not one of those colors that winds up on everyone’s palette, like the pthalos and the quins, but it’s surprisingly useful.
what a thorough explanation of a pigment! The peach is beautiful
Thank you! I hope I got you to love it a little more ☺️

can i put in a call for indanthrone! I legit think it can be used for everything. when im unsure what blue to use thats where i go!
I love Potters pink, but haven't mixed it much. So nice to see your swatches. It's a beautiful color on it's own, but does really nice in mixes!
It’s really a color that plays nice with others. 😃
I’ve been hearing some people say what a great color this was but never gravitated to it. I ordered it a few days ago to see what all the talk was about. I’m starting to get excited about trying it. Thanks for a great video on this pigment.

That’s a really unusual, gentle triad you’ve set up. Thanks so much for introducing me to this color!

I do not have a Potters Pink but I can see why ppl love it for skintones. Thanks for the review Sadie XoFaith 💕

Can u recommend…. What colors would you use to mix up some potters pink if one doesn’t have it in their palette?
Great video! I've been wanting to get a potter's pink for a while now, but they're too expensive to justify for me now. What might be a nice alternative or self-mix, especially wrt the granulation, not just the hue? What I really love about it is the granulation!!!
Very well done this review Sadie. You have a nice and soothing voice on top of the artistic talent.
Love the triad colors, Sadie.
Great vid Sadie, always interesting thoughtful and thoughtful commentary. Love the demo of this colour. It's not on my palette but have a NEED for it now :)
It’s one of those colors that’s not often in the spotlight, but it’s so nice! I hope you love it!
What an helpful pigment review! I just bought a tube of Sennelier's but haven't used it yet. This is a pigment I'll use out of the tube. Hmmm; are peaches in season? Your tutorial is making me hungry for peaches!
Great review! Thanks
This has become one of my favs for adding natural lip and cheek color to darker skin tones. I also really like it in mixes and love your 🍑.
What a great video, thanks!

😄 Thank you for your comment! No I haven’t tried their version. I imagine it would be the most granulating of them all!!

I probably wouldn’t have tried it either if I hadn’t been gifted it, but I’m sooo happy I did! I hope you have fun with it 😃
Loved this. And your peach is so beautiful!
I have tried schminke’s version and like it, but it was a non-generous dot card. I’m very interested in it!
That’s probably the version I will try next once my Daniel Smith runs out, which will probably be soon 😝
Are you using it from tube or in a half pan? I almost think tube would be best for this one.
Ah good point! I’m working with a half pan now but it makes sense to get a tube in the future.
Your voice is like butter. Lovely video to watch and listen to. I really want to purchase a potters pink but I just spent $40 Australian dollars on Daniel Smith's Sleeping Beauty 15mL tube so I hope to find a potters pink that won't break the bank.

Thank you so much for this video! Such excellent information!
Hi, thank you. What's the name/brand of that yellow PY179 please? I can't seem to find anything with that pigment code.
Has anyone mixed their own version of a sub for Potter's Pink watercolor? I can't buy this product any time soon and want to use it in a couple of paintings. I love this muted pink color! Potter's Pink is a single pigment so research didn't point me to anything close to this color.
I love this
What is the name and brand of the yellow and Blue that you make a pastel color weel with? ❤ around 6.16 in the video
nickel yellow titantate PY 53, and kremer "zirconium cerulean" she goes over here: ruclips.net/video/3-QWAZIQ5ME/видео.html
ooooh botanical grey...
Best grey 😊
is it weird this is kinda asmry to me? ... either way I'm subbing XD
😂 I’ll take it! 🤣
I don't get the sudden hype for this colour
It’s just pretty 😊
