Description:

Titanium White (P.W 6) is a brilliant, opaque white watercolour pigment renowned for its exceptional opacity and high tinting strength. This pigment is composed of titanium dioxide, offering a bright, clean white that can illuminate any palette and provide a striking contrast to darker colours. Titanium White is a staple for watercolourists looking to achieve highlights, softening edges, and creating vibrant compositions.

When applied, Titanium White produces a dense, smooth wash that retains its brilliance, even when mixed with other colours. Its excellent coverage allows artists to layer it effectively, making it ideal for highlighting areas in paintings and creating luminous effects in clouds, water, and reflective surfaces. The opacity of Titanium White also enables artists to lighten colours without significantly altering their character, which is particularly useful for achieving subtle gradations and soft transitions.

With excellent lightfastness, Titanium White maintains its brightness over time, ensuring that artwork remains vibrant and true. Its versatility makes it suitable for a wide range of techniques, from glazing and layering to creating impasto textures. Whether used sparingly for highlights or as a dominant element in a composition, Titanium White (P.W 6) is an essential pigment for any watercolourist aiming to explore the full spectrum of light and shadow in their work.

An essential part of my default set of paints.

For me, this colour excels in two ways. Firstly, it is a joy to use and secondly, it gives great results in the finished picture.

I love your titanium white. It is smooth and easy to work with.

A great tool in your watercolour palette.

I'm very impressed with Jackman's Titanium White. One of the challenges with water colour painting is not usually being able to paint light colours over dark colours. But I've discovered that if you add the titanium white to your colour (adjusting the tonal value accordingly) then you can, as it is semi-opaque. So it's really useful for instance when you need to paint light coloured leaves or thin branches against a dark background. You have to be careful about using it to paint over mistakes or to add clouds to a sky, as seen from the side of the picture it can go greyish. If I decide to add clouds retrospectively I'll use the white watered down, and then blot it, which seems to work quite well as a 'work around' and the alight greyish tinge you are left with at the bottom of the clouds works in this instance. I wouldn't be without it now!
