Welcome to The Pink Palette of Time (12 months, 12 artists, and a small pink obsession).
This is not just “a pink palette”.
This is 13 artists sitting around the world, minding their own business, and then collectively deciding that life needs more pink. Which I respect deeply.
The Pink Palette of Time is a full year of handmade watercolors, created with 13 artists I genuinely admire, where each month gets its own shade of pink. Some are sweet. Some are loud. Some are the kind of pink that looks innocent but absolutely is not. And together they make a palette that feels like time passing, only in pigment.
Here’s how it works.
Each artist chose the direction, the mood, the kind of pink they personally couldn’t live without. Then I hand mulled every single color in my studio in Denmark, adjusting the mixes until they felt right. Not “perfect in theory”, but right on paper. That moment where you swatch it and go: yep. That’s the one.
And the result is this set:
A 12 month watercolor calendar made of pink.
Because apparently that’s who we are now.
You can use it for florals, portraits, skies, mixed media, journaling, or just for the very serious business of making your sketchbook look like it has feelings.
And yes. The paints blend beautifully, layer well, and let you build everything from soft washes to punchy details. It’s beginner friendly, but also the kind of palette experienced painters love because it gives range instead of just “twelve versions of the same bubblegum”.

If you’ve ever wished you could paint time, mood, seasons, softness, chaos, romance, confidence, and “I’m fine” in one palette…
This is that palette.
