Swatching Michael Harding Watercolours from a dot card I made myself

Hello Everybody,
Here's another one from the archives. I filmed this almost a year ago in early September 2023. I hope you can hear it okay - one of the reasons why I've not posted it before is because the audio is a bit ropey. If you have any questions, just pop them in the comments.
In July 2023, Michael Harding came to one of my local art shops and I had the chance to try out as many of the paints as time allowed. I made a big dot card with my a lot of favourites, and these are the swatches from the dots.
Here's the Michael Harding watercolour range: www.michaelhar...

Thanks for watching!

fun! so lucky to have that event in your local store. I recommend the 18th century set which includes lapiz lazuli and rose madder genuine. :)

@@derwood206 Oh yes I was delighted when they announced they stocked MH watercolours, and then a month later the man himself showed up too. I have that set on my list actually, good to know you recommend ☺️

Hi Sonya, thanks for the video. Some really nice colours there but every time I think about ordering some I can’t bring myself to do it when I see the price😂. I always end up going back to see if Rosa or Roman Szmal have the same thing and if they do, I go with them. I’d like to see a comparison of your potters pinks when you have time to do it as I prefer a pinker one to the browner ones. I got the Brusho pots that I ordered so tonight’s the night, just hope I don’t make too much of a mess with them. Dee

They are really rather pricey, aren't they? I haven't bought any more since last summer. I will do a Potter's Pink comparison soon, promise! Good luck with the Brusho and not making a big mess, I hope you have fun Dee!

The PR233 looks rather brownish. Is this just my screen? The magenta could also be a Quin Viol. (PV19), but again, could just be my screen. Have you ever tried PB74 from Schminke? I love it. 😊

I've just posted a photo of the swatches in the community tab, that should give you a better idea what the colours look like. But the Potter's Pink is a bit on the brown side. I do have Schmincke's PB74 actually, but it's in a palette I don't have on my desk so I don't use it often. I really need to change that. Thanks for the reminder!

@@sonyaoart same! lol. I just re-discovered it and realized how much I like it. Actually it was an urban sketcher, who I follow, who uses it as his warm blue in a travel-pallet of only 10 colors. That gave me a different view on it. 😃 thanks, also for the foto. It is definitely a bit more pink on the it.😊

@@martinanelsonartandpsychol6478 I’m glad the photo helped! I’d promised it anyway but forgot… I’ll definitely have to use my PB74 more I think 😊
