DANIEL SMITH Extra Fine™ Cobalt Blue Violet Watercolor 15 ml. - World`s finest artists` paints

A brilliant purple with remarkable blue undertones and a granulating texture. Try mixing this bold color with Prussian Green for surprisingly soft blue hues. At full strength, this violet is dark enough for deep twilight shadows. Mix with water and a range of tones are revealed. A graceful addition to the watercolorists’ palette, this is the perfect purple for dynamic floral paintings. Starting with 10 parts water to 1 part paint (by weight) in the palette, our chemist paints the top half of the swatch uniformly with a round brush to show the paint’s color and characteristics. For the bottom half, he dips a ¾” flat brush into the paint well just once, then applies the color in stripes until the brush is dry, which shows the color’s tone and behavior through a wash. We use these swatches for color matching during the manufacturing process.
