Potter's Pink

Description

Potter’s Pink is our exquisitely hand-crafted watercolor paint made with an extremely concentrated, high-quality single source pigment. Every pan is meticulously hand mulled, filled, and labeled—using only pure local honey and a small amount of all natural, pure gum arabic to achieve an exceptionally concentrated and richly textured pigment.

Potter’s Pink is a soft, dusty rose made from manganese-calcium silicate, originally developed in 18th-century England. Valued for its muted, earthy elegance, this pigment offers low tinting strength, subtle granulation, and a naturally subdued tone perfect for botanical subjects, skin tones, and atmospheric washes. Its quiet complexity lends refinement and control to any palette, especially in naturalistic and historical work.
