Advent Calendar Day 16: Quinacridone Magenta (PR122)

Wouldn’t you know it! The day after I pulled DS Quinacridone Magenta (PR202), I pulled Holbein Quinacridone Magenta (PR122).

Evening in Medford. December 16, 2024.

It’s so pink I couldn’t think of anything but Dunkin Donuts. Welcome back to Massachusetts to me!

I used Holbein colors Quinacridone Magenta (PR122), Isoindolinone Yellow Deep (PY110), and Indigo, plus a little DV Cobalt Blue.

In the past I’ve struggled to decide between PR122 and PV19 rose, as I found them very comparable in my head-to-head tests. But I think coming back to PR122 after not using it for awhile is making me realize that I really tend to prefer PV19!
