Last year I received a number whole-pans of watercolour from Poland. They were samples of some of the colours Roman Szmal was working on for his watercolour range. He has now launched them and it was a real pleasure to paint them all out. They are now available from Jacksons in the UK - here is an affiliate link. They are also available here or here and are very affordably priced. You can read more about them on his Facebook Page. This range is 140 full pans with mostly single pigments but also a few rather lovely mixes. They were fairly consistent to rewet though I am sure he is still making adjustments with the exact binder to pigment and honey ratios. I don't know if tube paints are being planned but in many ways I hope not - sometimes it's nice to see a company totally specialise. These are very high quality and full pans are great for brush access. The pans are individually wrapped with hand-painted watercolour paper labels so there is no mistaking what the colour will look like. I loaded a video of unwrapping one on YouTube here. The colour chart also had hand-painted swatches. Wonderful! It's great to see one of my favourite colours appear in this range - Buff Titanium. Nickel Titanate Yellow is often a very weak pigment that is difficult to rewet but this version was good to use. The cadmiums are finely ground and very clean. Roman Szmal Aquarius Watercolours - Chinese White, Titanium White, Buff titanium, Nickel titanate Yellow, Cadmium Yellow. This range of cool yellow are all very similar. Roman Szmal Aquarius Watercolours - Bismuth Yellow, Hansa Yellow Light, Lemon Yellow, Isoindolinone Yellow Light, Aquarius Yellow. This range of mid yellow are also very similar. Roman Szmal Aquarius Watercolours - Aureoline (Hue), Cadmium Yellow Pale, Benzimidazole Yellow, Hansa Yellow Medium, Indian Yellow (Hue). These are brighter and more orange than they appear here - lovely warm yellows. Roman Szmal Aquarius Watercolours - Nickel Azon Yellow, Cadmium Yellow Deep, Hansa Yellow Deep, Permanent Yellow, Isindolinone Yellow Deep These are also brighter than they appear here - the oranges are clean and clear with Benzimidazole being an almost perfect mid orange and Pyrrole Orange just headed to a warm red. Roman Szmal Aquarius Watercolours - Permanent Orange, Brilliant Orange, Cadmium Orange, Benzimidazole Orange, Pyrrol Orange. This range is also similar with some interesting pigments. My favourite is PR255. Roman Szmal Aquarius Watercolours - Scarlet Lake, Anthraquinoid Scarlet, Pyrrole Scarlet, Cadmium Vermilion, Scarlet Red, These are lovely bright mid reds. Roman Szmal Aquarius Watercolours - Naphthol Red, Pyrrole Red, Azo Red, Permanent Red, Aquarius Red. Pyrrole Rubine is my favourite pigment for crimson reds. Roman Szmal Aquarius Watercolours - Cadmium Red, Cadmium Red Deep, Perylene Maroon, Anthraquinoid Red, Pyrrole Rubine. Quinacridone Red is my favourite cool/primary red option. Roman Szmal Aquarius Watercolours - Cherry Quinacridone Red, Permanent Alizarin Crimson, Naples Yellow Reddish, Flesh Tint, Quinacridone Red. Roman Szmal Aquarius Watercolours - Magenta, Quinacridone Pink, Quinacridone Violet, Perylene Violet, Cobalt Violet Light. It is good to see very nice versions of these gentle violet pigments. The Dioxazine Violet is not the usual PV23 but PV37. Roman Szmal Aquarius Watercolours - Ultramarine Pink, Manganese Violet, Ultramarine Violet, Cobalt Violet Deep, Dioxazine Violet. Mineral Violet separates in a lovely manner. Roman Szmal Aquarius Watercolours - Mineral Violet, Lavenda, Shadow Violet, Prussian Blue, Indigo (Hue) Indanthrone Blue is a bit grainy but deep and rich. The three ultramarines are slightly different. Roman Szmal Aquarius Watercolours - Indanthrone Blue, Ultramarine (Green Shade), French Ultramarine, Ultramarine Light, Cobalt Blue. Roman Szmal Aquarius Watercolours - Phthalo Blue (Red Shade), Cobalt Coelin Blue, Cobalt Cerulean Blue, Royal Blue, Sky Blue. Roman Szmal Aquarius Watercolours - Phthalo Blue (Green Shade) (PB15:3), Ocean Blue, Phthalo Turquoise, Cobalt Teal, Viridian. Roman Szmal Aquarius Watercolours - Cobalt Turquoise, Transparent Turquoise, Green Earth, Chromium Green Oxide, Phthalo Green (Blue Shade). Roman Szmal Aquarius Watercolours - Phthalo Green (Yellow Shade), Cobalt Green Light, Permanent Green Light, Sap Green, Hooker's Green. I really like these neutralised convenience greens. Roman Szmal Aquarius Watercolours - Aquarius Green, Olive Green Light, Deep Green Gold, Green Gold, Olive Green Deep. These yellow earth colours are very similar so it would be interesting to explore them more in mixes. I like the Transparent Gold Ochre and the Gold Ochre. Roman Szmal Aquarius Watercolours - Naples Yellow Light, Transparent Gold Ochre, Venetian Yellow Earth, Natural Sienna Light, Gold Ochre. There are a lot of yellow earth colours to choose from. I haven't figured out which I prefer...I like the Yellow Ochre and Naples Yellow deep in this set. PBr24 is great for this colour. Roman Szmal Aquarius Watercolours - Yellow Ochre, Naples Yellow Deep, Veronese Yellow Earth, Natural Sienna Mont Amiata, Italian Raw Sienna. Mummy Transparent Red is a lovely earthy orange. Roman Szmal Aquarius Watercolours - Ochre Havana, Transparent Yellow Ochre, French Ochre, Red Ochre, Mummy Transparent Red. It's a nice version of Quinacridone Gold. Roman Szmal Aquarius Watercolours - Quinacridone Gold, quinacridone Burnt Sienna, Veronese Red Earth, Pompeii Red, English Red Light. Roman had sent a sample of Burnt Sienna that didn't make it into the 140 colour range though I think it is lovely so have shown it here. Roman Szmal Aquarius Watercolours - Terra Pozzuoli, Italian Burnt Sienna, Burnt Sienna (sample only), Transparent Oxide Red, Venetian Red, Quinacridone Maroon. English Red deep is the closest to an Indian Red - not as opaque though. Roman Szmal Aquarius Watercolours - English Red Deep, Transparent Brown, Mars Red, Caput Mortuum, Hematite. Burnt Umber was also a sample that didn't make it into the range. The many versions of raw umber are not hugely different. I think I'd choose Cyprus Raw Umber and Cyprus Burnt Umber for this useful warm and cool dark brown pair. Roman Szmal Aquarius Watercolours - Cyprus Raw Umber Brownish, German Raw Umber Greenish, Cyprus Raw Umber, Cyprus Burnt Umber Light, Cyprus Burnt Umber, Burnt Umber (sample only). Roman Szmal Aquarius Watercolours - Transparent Oxide Brown, Brown Ochre, Sepia, Cyprus Raw Umber Deep, Van Dyck Brown. Roman Szmal Aquarius Watercolours - Cyprus Burnt Umber Deep, Przybysz's Grey, Payne's Grey, Perylene Green, Roman Black. I like the Aquarius Black here more than the Roman Black shown above or the Mars Black. PBk11 is wonderful for granulation. Roman Szmal Aquarius Watercolours - Vine Black, Ivory Black, Neutral Tint, Mars Black, Aquarius Black. These last swatches are of some other samples Roman sent. He didn't have enough pigment to make the PR88 part of the range, though you could make this colour with Quin Violet or Manganese Violet with a touch of Magenta or Quin Pink. The ECWS is known in Poland as 'Nebula of Stars'. Now that's a name! The Hematite Oxide Red is rather lovely but wasn't included as it is so close to the 'Hematite' above. PR88 sample, Special ECWS sample, Natural Sienna from Ardeny Sample, Burnt Umber sample, Hematite Oxide Red sample. I've asked Roman where these full pan watercolours are available and here is the list so far. They are available world wide through Jacksons in the UK - here is an affiliate link to the site. They are widely available in Poland. In the Nordic region, they are available from www.diverse.fi In Italy www.amicucci.it or if in Milan www.colorificiopecchio.it In Madrid from three Madrid's art shops. In Barcelona from www.barna-art.com In the rest of the world from www.artemiranda.es From Roman Szmal's Facebook Site here 2020 update An additional 25 colours are now available. I'll be rescanning the full range into a new blog post. Happy painting!
Note - I try to regularly update posts with additional information but they don't normally repost. I wrote this post in 2013 and, for some reason, this re-posted in 2019 when I updated it. So I've updated it again to make it completely current! I am often asked what other colours I use or like, and why. There are rather a lot. I have posted a paint-out of my main studio palette before, which I have recently updated. This would have some of my top 20 pigments, and allows me to paint almost anything I choose as it has a good range of yellows, reds, blues, greens and neutrals. These are all Daniel Smith watercolours as follows: Yellows - Hansa Yellow Medium as my mid or primary yellow Quinacridone Gold as my warm yellow Goethite DS as my earth yellow Raw Umber as my dark cool brown Reds/Oranges - Quinacridone Rose as my cool and purple-mixing red Transparent Pyrrol Orange as my warm red (note 2019 - this colour seems to have changed to a mid orange rather than a red-orange so pyrrol scarlet is probably more useful here), Indian Red as my earth red Pyrrol Crimson as my deep crimson. (In my smallest travel palette I sometimes use Carmine in place of the crimson and rose pigments) Blues - Phthalo Blue Red Shade as my cool blue. Ultramarine DS or DV, as my warm blue Cerulean Chromium as my liftable granulating cool blue Indanthrone Blue just because I love it - a deep warm blue. Greens - Phthalo Green Blue Shade as a mixing green Undersea Green mix DS (PB29+PO49) for foliage and leaves Sap Green (PO49 + PG7) for foliage, botanicals Perylene Green that is so useful for foliage in shadow. Neutrals - Buff titanium which is so useful for urban and beach subjects Burnt Sienna PBr7 is my preferred pigment for Burnt Sienna Burnt Umber as my warm deep brown Jane's Grey mixture of Burnt Sienna and Ultramarine. This is the one I refill the most. Here is the palette - In the first photo from 2013 I arranged the colours with all the yellows together in the first column, then all the reds, then the blues, then greens, then earths. There is more on this arrangement here. My 20 colour brass studio palette from littlebrassbox - photo from 2013. I now have them in a more 'rainbow' order with light buff titanium, then yellows running down the first column, into reds, blues, greens and then the earths. This is how I tend to arrange all my palettes. My 20 colour brass studio palette from littlebrassbox in 2019 - same colours but in a different order. My studio palette colours. So then what to do with the colours I want to use on occasions but not all the time? One option was to use a bigger palette. I had a wonderful large palette that worked very well in many ways. It held 34 colours and had good mixing areas but it took up a lot of space on my work desk and was not easily portable if wet so it was really only good in my studio. (Called the Bullet Proof Palette, by the way, though it is not actually made of glass but strong plastic.) It also had a number of colours that were more for special use than for all the time. My brass one is very compact when not in use, with great mixing space during use. What I wanted was a separate 'extras' set that I could keep in the drawer when not in use but pull out easily when painting in my studio. I've ended up using a set of 18 half pans in a custom made brass box. It works fine :-) So what are these special extras? My studio 'extras' palette. Some are opaque versions of colours I have, some are more granulation, some are cool yellows for florals. They are colours that have their uses in particular paintings. I try to limit the number of pigments I use in any one painting but I like to have a good range to choose from. Included in this little extras set might be - Cadmium Yellow Light - an opaque yellow for when more coverage is required or Hansa Yellow Light Daniel Smith PY3 which is a lovely transparent cool yellow. New Gamboge - the original PY153 version from Daniel Smith. It is the most lovely transparent warm yellow I have tried. Mixable, but at times it's good to start with a single pigment colour. Hansa Yellow Deep is another excellent option. Benzimida Orange Deep DaVinci - this is a gorgeous orange with a lovely and unusual orange undertone. Once again it is mixable, but just lovely. Or Transparent Orange Schmincke, which is more transparent and has a more yellow undertone. 2019 update - The DS Transparent Pyrrol Orange that I use in my main palette as a warm red seems to have changed to more of a true mid orange - rather like the Benzimida Orange Deep, Winsor & Newton Transparent Orange and almost the Schmincke Transparent Orange. It would now sit in with my extras and I'd change the main palette to Pyrrol Scarlet for the warm red. Pyrrol Scarlet DS - a very lightfast warm red. I like the pyrrols and they intermix very well. A bright red can be perfect for certain flower studies. This is the red I recommend in all my teaching, rather than the Transparent Pyrrol Orange that I have in my main palette. Quinacridone Lilac DS - this is the lovely PR122 magenta that makes the most gorgeous purples, and is prefect for painting bougainvillea. It's great if I want to work in a limited CYM palette too! Not currently in my extras palette as I use Quinacridone Rose to make most purples. Imperial Purple DS - purely convenience if painting purple flowers. Some might prefer a PV23 Dioxazine violet. Moonglow DS - this mix of Ultramarine, Anthraquinoid Red and Viridian is just lovely for many floral shaded areas. Cobalt Blue - this lovely mid or primary blue doesn't get a lot of use, though it's wonderful in the Greek Islands and for skies. Phthalo Blue GS DS - this is the colour I recommend in all my teaching, rather than the Red Shade that is in my main palette. I have it for demonstration purposes for my on-line tutoring since it is a traditional choice for most people. The Red Shade can be adjusted to look like the Green Shade with the addition of a little Phthalo Green. Cobalt Turquoise DS - this is an easy enough colour to make but the granulation is something special. Jadeite Genuine DS - this granulating pine-like green is a beautiful pigment. It mixes a bit like Phthalo green but is much deeper in mass-tone, more like Perylene Green, and more liftable thatn phthalo green. Wonderful in foliage. Still in my little travel palette. Green Apatite Genuine - I love this colour and use it often. Goes from a light green gold through a sap green to a deep undersea green all in one - still in my little travel palette. Serpentine Genuine DS - wonderful fro grassy meadows, with lovely flecks of brown in the green wash. Green Gold - PY129 DS - this is another useful convenience colour for botanicals and foliage. Yellow Ochre PY43 DS - an earth yellow that is a little opaque. Makes great olive greens, when I don't want the granulation of Goethite. Raw Sienna PBr7 DS - for skin tones or if I want a warm glow in the sky without it turning green mixed with a blue - one of the characteristics of this pigment. Transparent Red Oxide DS- this is an option for a burnt sienna but is wilder so I keep it for special purposes, especially rust. Fabulous granulation! Piemontite Genuine DS - a granulating Primatek colour that has an amazing tonal and colour range. It washes down to a dusty pink. A very interesting alternative to Indian Red, but I like to use both. Grey Titanium DS - introduced in 2019, along with Jane's Grey, this is an interesting colour that can be just perfect for concrete, neutral passages in a wash and some stone effects. I tend to use this in my plein air extras palette too. Lunar Black DS - I don't generally use a black pigment but I love this one due to its extraordinary granulation. My 'extras' palette colours I have many other watercolours that I don't use so often so my other problem was how to store and potentially carry these extra pigments when teaching colour workshops. I found the answer that solved all the rattling pans and wrote about Malcolm Carver's flower palettes, and my 'special use' pigments in another post - here. I have also written about 48 'special pigments' that I put into a MAC travel case here, with more detail in the following post here.
Happy New Year for 2022. For my first post of the year, I'm updating a previous post of the Aquarius range. I hope to add many more posts and updates this year :-) Roman Szmal launched Aquarius Watercolours, a honey-based range, in 2019 with 140 colours. In 2020 this was extended to 165 full pan colours with an additional 25 colours. There was still a huge proportion of single pigment colours (all but 26) and some unique pigments for watercolours. In 2021, another 15 colours were added to the range, bringing it up to 180. The full range is stocked at Jacksons (affiliate link) in the UK and many other places around the world. In Australia they are available from Adamstown Art in sets or individual full pans. December 2022 update; For my previous post I photographed the swatches, this time they are scanned. Some colours are really difficult to show accurately using either method - the yellow oranges and orange yellows, along with oranges and reds generally! So I have updated this post and colour matched each swatch individually to get them as close as I can. These are now all pretty accurate :-) I'll be updating all my swatches during 2023. Anyone familiar with my blog will know that I love Buff Titanium and use it a lot. This is less granulating than the version I use, but still a lovely colour. Aquarius Watercolour - Chinese White, Titanium White, Buff titanium, Nickel titanate Yellow, Cadmium Yellow, Bismuth Yellow. These yellows are very similar, though Cadmium Lemon, Bismuth Yellow, Hansa Yellow Light and Lemon Yellow and Quinaphthalone Yellow are slightly more lemon, then Isoindolinone Yellow Light and Aquarius Yellow and are really mid yellows and Aureoline Hue has a hint of warmth. They are colour matches as closely as I can. Aquarius Watercolour - Hansa Yellow Light, Lemon Yellow, Quinaphthalone Yellow (new 2021), Isoindolinone Yellow, Aquarius Yellow, Aureoline (Hue) Aureoline Hue, Cadmium Yellow Pale and Benzymidazole Yellow are very similar mid primary yellows, with Hansa Yellow Medium being the brightest and sunniest by a small margin. Characteristics vary - how transparent do you want your yellow to be? Cadmium Yellow Deep is a true warm yellow. Aquarius Watercolour - Cadmium Yellow Pale, Benzymidazole Yellow, Hansa Yellow Medium, Indian Yellow (Hue), Nickel Azo Yellow, Cadmium Yellow Deep. Hansa Yellow Deep is the easy option as a warm yellow. The others shown here are very bright and beautiful warm yellows, very difficult to capture exactly. There are a lot of interesting pigments that are not used by other manufacturers. Aquarius Watercolour - Hansa Yellow Deep, Isoindolinone Yellow Deep, Golden Yellow, Permanent Yellow, Permanent Orange, Chrome Orange Hue (new 2021) There is a huge range of gorgeous oranges. Golden Orange is just on the yellow-orange side, a little brighter than it looks here. Ginger red was new in 2021 and an accurate dull orange. Transparent Pyrrol Orange and Aquarius Orange are stunning transparent mid oranges. Aquarius Watercolour - Golden Orange, Ginger Red (new 2021), Transparent Pyrrol Orange, Deep Orange, Aquarius Orange, Brilliant Orange. The next two oranges are attractive, if overshadowed by the new additions above, though I still like the Benzimidazole Orange. Pyrrol Orange is just on the red side of orange, so could be used as a warm red. Scarlet Lake, Anthraquinone Scarlet and Pyrrol Scarlet are definite reds - on the warm side. I really like PR255 as a warm red option. Aquarius Watercolour - Cadmium Orange, Benzimidazole Orange, Pyrrol Orange, Scarlet Lake, Anthraquinoid Scarlet, Pyrrole Scarlet These are the warm to medium reds. Scarlet Lake is almost identical to W&N Scarlet Lake. Naphthol Red and Pyrrol Red are rich mid reds - fire engine or pillar box. PR254 is my favourite for this colour. Perylene Red is just a little more crimson. Aquarius Watercolour - Cadmium Vermilion, Scarlet Red, Scarlet Lake, Quinacridone Scarlet (new 2021), Naphthol Red, Pyrrole Red, Perylene Red (new 2021). These are all mid reds to slightly crimson reds, with more or less pink. Azo Red is a rich crimson, Aquarius Red is a little brighter and Permanent Red brighter still. Cadmium Red is a duller mid red, Cadmium Red Deep has the more 'purple' hue and Perylene Maroon is richer than Azo red. Aquarius Watercolours - Azo Red, Aquarius Red, Permanent Red, Cadmium Red, Cadmium Red Deep, Perylene Maroon. Pyrrole Rubine is my favourite of the crimson reds, though if you wanted a more primary crimson rose the PR176 is a good option. Cherry Quinacridone is a lovely coral that is difficult to replicate on screen - this photo is close. Quinacridone Red is my favourite rose and primary red colour. Aquarius Watercolour - Anthraquinoid Red, Pyrrole Rubine, Permanent Alizarin Crimson, Cherry Quinacridone Red, Quinacridone Red, Magenta. PR122 is as close as we can get to the printing Magenta colour. Quinacridone Pink is almost identical to Magenta above, but richer. PR202 is slightly stronger but duller. Aquarius Watercolour - Quinacridone Pink, Quinacridone Fuchsia, Quinacridone Violet, Perylene Violet, Cobalt Violet Light, Ultramarine Pink. This range has so many of the gentle granulating violet pigments - PV 14, PV15, PV16, PV49 as well as the unusual PV37 instead of the more common PV23. Aquarius Watercolour - Manganese Violet, Quinacridone Violet (new 2021), Ultramarine Violet, Cobalt Violet Deep, Dioxazine Violet, Mineral Violet. There are a number of convenience and atmospheric violets and purples here. The most fascinating is Misty Morning as it is not made with a traditional red and blue. French Ultramarine, or the new Ultramarine Intense shown next, is my pick for this pigment. Aquarius Watercolour - Misty Morning, Shadow Violet Light, Shadow Violet, Lavenda, Ultramarine Light, French Ultramarine. There are also many cobalt colours in the range. These are granulating and liftable and quite beautiful. I use PB36 along with Ultramarine in skies, though many use cobalt blue PB28. Aquarius Watercolour - Ultramarine Intense (new 2021), Ultramarine (Green Shade), Cobalt Blue Deep, Aquarius cobalt blue, Cobalt Blue, Cobalt Cerulean Blue. Aquarius Watercolour - Cobalt Coelin Blue, Royal Blue, Phthalo Blue (Red Shade), Indanthrone blue, Lazurite (Lapis Lazuli), Vivianite (Blue Ochre), Phthalo Blue GS is one of my key mixing colours. PB16 is a gorgeous pigment. Aquarius Watercolour - Indigo (Hue), Prussian Blue, Sky Blue, Phthalo Blue (Green Shade), Ocean Blue, Phthalo Turquoise. Cobalt Turquoise is a lovely pigment. So is the new PG26 Cobalt Green Deep added in 2021. Aquarius Watercolour - Cobalt Sea Blue. Cobalt Teal, Cobalt Turquoise, Viridian, Cobalt Green Deep (new 2021), Transparent Turquoise. Phthalo Green (Blue Shade) is another key mixing colour. I wouldn't use it alone, but it can create a fabulous range of greens. I use PBk31 all the time for shadows in foliage. Aquarius Watercolour - Phthalo Green (Blue Shade), Phthalo Green (Yellow Shade), Cobalt Green Light, Chromium Green Oxide, Green Earth, Perylene Green Perylene Green Deep made with PBk32 is a unique addition to the range. These mixed greens are mostly very useful. I particularly like the Aquarius Green and the Sap Green Light (below) for convenient realistic landscape greens. Autumn Green is new 2022. Aquarius Watercolour - Perylene Green Deep, Malachite, Aquarius Green, Autumn Green (new 2022), Hooker's Green, Sap Green Sap Green Light is another useful convenience green. Glauconite is an historical colour. Deep Green Gold is lovely for the glow of sunlight through leaves or as an alternative to a cool or lemon yellow. Aquarius Watercolour - Permanent Green Light, Sap Green Light, Olive Green Light, Glauconite, Olive Green Deep, Deep Green Gold. Aquarius Watercolour - Green Gold, Naples Yellow Light, Naples Yellow Reddish; Transparent Gold Ochre, Venetian Yellow Earth, Natural Sienna Light. There is a confusion of yellow earths made with PY43. Gold Ochre is the brightest of them and would be my choice, though Yellow Ochre is Transparent. These need a bit of exploring. The new Blue Ridge Raw Sienna may be even nicer and richer than these as a yellow earth colour. The new Goethite granulates nicely, though not as much as the version I use. Aquarius Watercolours - Gold Ochre, Yellow Ochre, Veronese Yellow Earth Blue Ridge Raw Sienna (new 2021), Goethite, Natural Sienna Mont Amiata. This is a lovely version of Quinacridone Gold, but will be unavailable once PO48 runs out. The new version is yellower - the colours are quite accurate. I do like PBr24 though I've never painted with it! Aquarius Watercolour - Quinacridone Gold (old version), Quinacridone Gold Hue (2021), Italian Raw Sienna, Transparent Yellow Oxide, Naples Yellow Deep, Ochre Havana. I rather like these earth colours, especially French Ochre and Mummy Transparent Red. Quinacridone Burnt Sienna will not be around much longer as PO48 has run out. Aquarius Watercolour - Dark Ochre, French Ochre, Mummy Transparent Red, Blue Ridge Burnt Sienna (new 2021), Mont Amiata Burnt Sienna, Quinacridone Burnt Sienna. These are all quite similar in hue, and any could be used as a burnt sienna colour. They differ in characteristics. Aquarius Brown is a super granulating pigment. Aquarius Watercolours - Veronese Red Earth, Red Ochre, Transparent Oxide Red, Pompeii Red, Italian Burnt Sienna, Aquarius Brown. The red earth colours are quite lovely. Aquarius Watercolours - Flesh Tint, Terra Pozzuoli, English Red Light, Venetian Red, Quinacridone Maroon, English Red Deep. PBr23 is a unique pigment. The new Indian Red has the pink undertone I look for in an earth red. Aquarius Watercolour - Transparent Brown, Mars Red, Indian Red, Porter's Pink, Caput Mortuum, Hematite (Violet Shade). Brown Ochre or Cyprus Burnt Umber is my choice for a Burnt Umber colour. While it can be mixed as a hue using burnt sienna and ultramarine, having a warm dark brown is often useful. Aquarius Watercolour - Hematite, Hematite Brown Shade (new 2020), Transparent Oxide Brown, Brown Ochre, Cyprus Burnt Umber, Cyprus Burnt Umber Light. There are many raw umber variations. German Raw Umber Greenish painted out the smoothest… Aquarius Watercolour - Cyprus Raw Umber Brownish, Cyprus Raw Umber, German Raw Umber Greenish, Iron Chrome Brown, (new 2021), Manganese Brown (new 2021), Cyprus Burnt Umber Deep, ...however Cyprus Raw Umber Deep is my favourite of these cool dark browns. Shadow Grey is very close to my Jane's Grey. Aquarius Watercolour - Cyprus Raw Umber Deep, Sepia, Van Dyck Brown, Shadow Grey (new 2021), Przybysz's Grey, Payne's Grey, Aquarius Grey is a great addition - useful for concrete and urban sketching. Aquarius Watercolour - Aquarius Grey, Roman Black, Vine Black, Ivory Black, Neutral Tint, Mars Black. I don't tend to use black pigments - with the exception of PBk31 (Perylene Green) and PBk11 - here seen in Aquarius Black - for its amazing granulation. Aquarius Black While my preference is for paints made without honey, I was asked to suggest a 24 colour set of Aquarius colours. It is daunting to come up with a set when faced with such a huge choice, but here is my suggested set. Buff Titanium Hansa Yellow Medium Quinacridone Gold (PO48 + PY150 version) Aquarius Orange Pyrrol Scarlet Pyrrol Rubine Quinacridone Red Mineral Violet Ultramarine Intense Cobalt Cerulean Blue Phthelo Blue (Green Shade) Cobalt Turquoise Phthalo Green (Blue Shade) Perylene Green Aquarius Green Sap Green Light Gold Ochre Goethite Mummy Transparent Red Blue Ridge Burnt Sienna Indian red Cyprus Burnt Umber Cyprus Raw Umber Deep Shadow Grey. Here they are painted out. This is a really lovely balanced palette for any subject, with the convenience of an orange and a purple, along with a great range of earth tones and realistic mixed greens. Happy Painting. 2023 update. 20 colours have been added to the range. Most are single pigments and many of these are pigments I've not seen in other ranges. Aquarius Watercolours: Nickel Tungsten Yellow, Azo Yellow, Anthraquinone Yellow, Gamboge (Hue), Bismuth Orange and Perylene Scarlet. Quinacridone Warm Scarlet is very like Quinacridone coral - as always a difficult colour to replicate. Aquarius Watercolours: Perylene Vermilion, Raspberry Red, Quinacridone Warm Scarlet, Strontium Violet, Aquarius Violet and Lapis Lazuli (limited edition) This is a very brown version of PR179. Aquarius Watercolours: Royal Blue Light, Phthalo Blue (Turquoise Shade), Perylene Red Deep, Benzimidazole Brown, Natural Umber Reddish and Urban Grey. Aquarius Watercolours: Graphite, Velvet Black
