Schmincke horadam neutral tint watercolour

Schmincke horadam neutral tint watercolour

vandenhooven 12 August 2025

I keep confusing the name of this colour with Schmincke’s “neutral grey”. That grey is colder, more bluish. But this is a kind of purplelish maroon grey. The larger the area, the easier it is to see the colour difference.

I tend to use neutral tint towards the bottom of my artworks to help balance the artworks so that they are not “top heavy”. I don’t normally use this colour to paint specific organs or objects, but to provide more of an overall neutral background so that the rest of the colours can be allowed to ‘sing’.
