Description:

Viridian Green is a vibrant, cool-toned watercolour pigment that showcases a bright, intense green with subtle blue undertones. Known for its lively, fresh appearance, Viridian Green is perfect for capturing the essence of lush foliage, emerald waters, and vibrant landscapes. Its striking colour adds a sense of vitality and energy to any composition, making it a popular choice among artists working in natural subjects.

This pigment is transparent, allowing for smooth, luminous washes that maintain clarity and brightness. When applied at full strength, Viridian Green delivers a rich, deep green, while when diluted, it transforms into lighter, delicate tints ideal for highlighting, glazing, or creating soft backgrounds. The pigment’s inherent granulation enhances the organic quality of washes, adding texture and depth to depictions of plants, trees, and natural scenes.

Viridian Green has excellent lightfastness, ensuring that its vibrant hue remains stable over time. It mixes beautifully with other colours, producing a wide range of greens when combined with yellows or earth tones, and can create dark, muted shades when blended with blues or blacks. This versatile and striking pigment is a favourite for artists looking to infuse their watercolour compositions with a fresh, lively green that evokes the beauty of nature.
