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 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 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.

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.

Oh how I love the mixes with PV 62, the two browns, and the black!! Gorgeous!

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" 😅

5:05 Twenty second dramatic pause waiting for the PBr25 to drop timed perfectly with the music.

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 ❤

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 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. 💌

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

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.

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.

Its a real workhorse of a colour for me...i love all i've mixed it with for my painting x love Alli XXX

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 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.
