Pale Violet

(No. 227)

Michael Harding Lapis Lazuli oil paint

Ⓥ VEGAN

Inorganic and Organic Pigments Adored by the landscape painter, Pale Violet adds vibrancy to any sky. Those confusing, hard to express violet shadows we all see in clouds are now easily achievable with this colour. Pale Violet is a wonderful addition to our range of colours. It’s made from three stable, reliable, and lightfast pigments. Although these pigments are available in pure pigment form in my range, artists always tell me they can’t achieve quite the same vibrancy when mixing in their studios. Pale Violet also allows the portrait artist to achieve interesting shadow combinations—for example, as a complimentary colour to create vibrancy in greys. Pale Violet has an obvious place in still lifes and interiors. Modern artists will love it as well. Enjoy!
