Perfect pink shade

"This watercolor is stunning. I have never found a true pink prior to this. Everything leaned to coral or fuschia. This pink is ballet slippers hue when watered down and nearly neon at milk consistency. I am so happy I found a gorgeous pink shade for florals. The pigment is rich and beautiful."
