        I don’t own any but I’ve read about it, even have two recipes for it.  That it remains available as a stand alone hue indicates it is used enough to be, at least, a semi-popular. However, except for one YouTube video showing it being used in pour-painting, I can’t find examples of how it is used.

        If any WC members use it (oil, acrylic, watercolor, pastels, etc.), will you be kind enough to share some images of paintings you’ve made using it?  Maybe even explain how it effected the painting?

        Skill is nothing more than talent practiced relentlessly.

            Probably the most common and easy way to use it is simply as a softer, less stark alternative to a pure white, where you purposely don’t want the absolute brightest and most chromatic tints and mixes. Think of it as a unifying off-white. If it’s too dark to work in place of white, try mixing 50/50 with Titanium White.

            This acrylic painting I did years ago used Unbleached Titanium as my mixing white for most of the painting. If I recall, probably just the lightest brightest coneflower highlights were pure Titanium White. For darker, lower-chroma color schemes, I can’t see why you couldn’t use Unbleached Titanium as your only white.
