If you are looking for a weak, pale, rose-coloured paint, then this might be just the ticket. I kind of like it for glazes but it is too weak on its own.<br /><br />http://www.winsornewton.com/uk/shop/water-colour/cotman-water-colours?colourid=094376901832<br />Allan Engelhardthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13098062720806568430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2891643331061427318.post-66423032479411669932017-04-26T06:53:45.477-07:002017-04-26T06:53:45.477-07:00

It looks a lot like WN Brown Madder (PR206) but slightly colder. But I found it weaker, dirtier and hard to handle when compared with the WN. I like some Sennelier watercolours, but not this one. Congratulations for your wonderful and very informative blog.

So far I have added W&N Brown Madder PR206, DS Quin Burnt Scarlet and Daler Rowney Transparent Red Brown PR206, along with the almost identical hue DS Garnet Genuine. You can also see the similar Deep Scarlet by DS - slightly more red - made with PR175.<br /><br />PR179 Perylene maroon by DS is very deep and blood-crimson. The Daler Rowney Perylene Red PR179 is cleaner. <br /><br />You can see them all here http://www.janeblundellart.com/painted-watercolour-swatches.htmlJane Blundellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02809568287344145772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2891643331061427318.post-83016678216507940892014-08-16T11:36:49.772-07:002014-08-16T11:36:49.772-07:00Thanks Jane.

Actually I wish I hadn't mentioned PR179 because the post is about PR206 and all this other stuff is a diversion from the main theme. I'll make sure I don't slip up like this in future. (grin).

I don't have the Schminke or Winsor & Newton PR179 so can't comment on them but people can decide for themselves looking at the swatches above. Even with the same pigments different manufacturers paints often vary. Handprint calls both Top Forty pigments.

I have both PR 179 and 206 from W&N and Schmincke and either way 206 looks so not like 179. <br /><br />If I had to choose between them I would go for 179, but if you are in need of a brown anyway then 206 is a good choice per se. It is transparent, a bit duul though, but probably useful for certain things. I have never used it much myself I have to admit. Hmmm.Julie Paradisehttp://www.julieparadise.denoreply@blogger.com
