Description

Titanium White (P.W 6) is a bright, opaque white watercolour pigment prized for its incredible covering power and high tinting strength. Made from pure titanium dioxide, it delivers a clean, luminous white that brings light and clarity to any palette. This pigment is essential for artists aiming to soften transitions, lift highlights, and introduce brilliance to their compositions.

When applied, Titanium White lays down a smooth, dense wash with a silky finish. Its exceptional opacity allows for effective layering over darker hues, making it perfect for creating atmospheric effects, delicate highlights, and reflective details in elements like clouds, water, and foliage. Its high tinting strength enables subtle lightening of other pigments without muddying their original character—ideal for soft gradients and naturalistic blends.

With excellent lightfastness, Titanium White retains its crisp brightness over time, helping artworks remain vibrant for years to come. Its neutral tone complements both warm and cool colours, making it one of the most versatile whites available. Whether used for final flourishes, mixing, or as a focal tone, Titanium White (P.W 6) is an indispensable part of any watercolourist’s toolkit.

Good value watercolour paint

Small tube of Titanium white, adequate for my needs

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!
