Description:

Lavender watercolour is a soft and cool-toned colour that combines delicate shades of blue and purple to create a light, airy colour reminiscent of blooming lavender fields or a misty sky. Its pale, pastel hue exudes calm and serenity, making it ideal for capturing florals, skies, and dreamy landscapes. Lavender adds a gentle touch to paintings, offering a luminous and tranquil effect that works beautifully in both detailed and abstract compositions.

Semi-Opaque in nature, Lavender flows smoothly across the paper, creating even washes and subtle transitions. In full strength, it delivers a light, cool lavender with a hint of bluish undertones, while diluted, it produces soft, barely-there tints that are perfect for highlights or gentle backgrounds. Its slight granulation adds texture, making the colour feel organic and natural, especially in washes.

Lavender watercolour has good lightfastness, ensuring that its soft, subtle hues retain their beauty over time. It mixes well with other pigments, creating delicate purples when combined with blues or cool, neutral tones when mixed with earthier colours. This versatile pigment is perfect for artists seeking a light, calming shade that adds a sense of peace and subtlety to their watercolour palette, whether for florals, landscapes, or atmospheric effects.
