about buff titanium

There are many reasons to love the muted magnificence of the color buff titanium. Here are my top three:

  1. Colors like turquoise and opera pink appear even punchier next to its sandy beige beauty.

  2. It’s accident friendly. If you make a mistake in buff titanium, it’s easy to cover up and pretend said mistake never happened.

  3. It’s easy to make it from muddy paint sludge that accumulates on my travel palette.

If I could dream a buff titanium art supply into existence, it would be a Neocolor II. If you know someone with decision-making power at Caran d’Ache, could you kindly let them know we need it?

I share my process for mixing buff titanium using primary colors, then paint the lovely owl statue that I brought back from my grandparents’ house. I included a reference image below, so you can draw or paint along with me. I know my grandmother will love to see your lovely version of her owls! 🦉💕
