Description:

Ultramarine Violet is a soft, cool-toned watercolour pigment that combines the deep, atmospheric qualities of ultramarine with a gentle violet hue. Its light, muted violet shade carries subtle blue undertones, making it perfect for creating dreamy, ethereal skies, misty landscapes, and delicate floral accents. This pigment brings a sense of calm and serenity to artwork, ideal for soft transitions and shading.

Ultramarine Violet has a semi-transparent quality, allowing for smooth, even washes and beautiful layering effects. When applied at full strength, it offers a soft, cool violet with a slightly granular texture that adds depth and interest to washes. Diluted, it produces light lavender tones that are perfect for subtle highlights and atmospheric effects. The granulation adds a natural texture, giving an organic feel to your painting.

Highly regarded for its excellent lightfastness, Ultramarine Violet retains its soft, cool tones over time, ensuring the longevity of the artwork. It mixes well with other colours, forming muted purples when blended with blues or earthy tones when combined with warm colours. This pigment is ideal for creating gentle, atmospheric effects and is a versatile, calming addition to any watercolour palette.
