Watercolor Swatches

  PR202 I think tends to have a bit more richness and depth compared to PR122, however not quit as saturated. The PR122 I got to make my own is a lot closer to PR202 in color but is cooler then all other Quinacridone Magentas I have tried. Daniel Smith-Quinacridone Magenta, Mijello-Quinacridone Crimson Lake PR202, Handmade-PR122, Winsor+Newton-Purple Madder (Alizarin) PR83+PV23? (Discontinued) If you are wanting a PR122, you really can't go wrong, they are fairly similar and not really a whole lot of variation. Just find a brand you like and their PR122 should be just fine. SoHo-Rose PR81 (Discontinued), Qor-Quinacridone Magenta PR122, Lukas Studio-Magenta PR122, Turner-Quinacridone Magenta PR122, Winsor+Newton-Quinacridone Magenta PR122 If you are wanting a very bright Opera Mijello mission gold is the one you want to get. I've not tried more then the 2, but from what I've seen it's the brightest you can find. Mijello-Bright Opera BV10+PR122, Daniel Smith-Opera Pink PR...

The color of the hue by Winsor+Newton is very close to the original PB33, however the texture and granulation is no where even close. If you want a better alternative use a PB35 Cerulean. Winsor+Newton's Cerulean is the greenest and closest to Manganese Blue I have seen. I find it interesting Grumbacher had a genuine Manganese Blue in their Academy line considering it was a more expensive pigment Handmade-PB33, Winsor+Newton-Manganese Blue PB33 (Discontinued), Blockx-Manganese Blue PB33 (Discontinued), Grumbacher Academy-Manganese Blue PB33 (Discontinued), Winsor+Newton-Manganese Blue PB15 Davinci-Cerulean Blue Genuine PB36:1, Permanent Pigments (Liquitex)-Cerulean Blue PB36 (Discontinued), Holbein-Cerulean Blue PB35, Winsor+Newton-Cerulean Blue PB35, Handmade-PB31, Schmincke-Cobalt Cerulean PB36 Daniel Smith-Blue Apatite Genuine, Mijello-Prussian Blue PB27, Winsor+Newton-Antwerp Blue PB27, Daniel Smith-Mayan Blue Genuine   Mijello-Cerulean PB15:...
