Feeling Peachy is a Signature Edition Horadam Watercolour collab between Schmincke and Evan Woodruffe. The lively pinkish orange is perfect for a first layer in watercolour, providing a warmth to successive layers, and for soft light effects.

Why this colour?
This is a soft yet lively warm pinkish hue, with good transparency. It’s tricky to mix exactly each time, with three carefully balanced pigments, so a pre-mixed tube is very useful.

Why the name?
Feeling Peachy means to feel cheerful and positive, and I think this colour does that. The subtle colour shifts that are achievable also mimic the blush of a peach.

What is special?
With Feeling Peachy, it is possible to change the dominance of each pigment with various dilutions. Thin washes have a yellow tinge, while a medium application is pinkish. Strongly applied colour has a deep, warm orange hue.

Where do you use it?
I use Feeling Peachy to initially tone my paper for an underlying warmth, while remaining quite neutral for successive glazes. Feeling Peachy is well suited to soft light effects in landscape painting, especially dusk and dawn skies, and as a hazy glaze over greens.

Why do we need it?
Start your watercolour with a wash of wonderful warmth – it will make your painting feel peachy!
