Just because Bill Clarke, who was my highschool art teacher, loves numbers so much I did this one. Just kidding, he seems to be a big fan. Potter's pink is one of the original synthetic pigments that has been around forever, its pigment number is PR233, and it is commonly used in ceramics. One of the paints I removed lately was rose madder genuine which has issues with lightfastness (it fades over time), it was a great colour for making subtle purples, greys, and for glazing over areas to make them warmer. This pigment has nearly identical colour, along with a neat granulating effect. The painting was just a quick doodle I made to test it out along with a new paintbrush I got from Avenue Art, the brush as you might guess is a rigger #4 from Escuda. Other colours in the painting are french ultramarine and a yellow, I forget which yellow it was they are all the same. The thing in the front is supposed to be a pot.
