Alizarin Crimson is the oldest synthetic deep red-crimson pigment. It is a lake pigment which when applied in strength and kept from the direct sunlight will last for many decades. Alizarin is a treat to paint with, just the sheer joy of the depth and uniqueness of color is invigorating. A beautiful bluish-red pigment from the staining family, Alizarin Crimson is listed on the basic palette of a vast majority of artists. Intense and dark in value, Alizarin Crimson mixes cleanly with most pigments to create dark mixtures and warm neutrals. A combination of Aureolin (Cobalt Yellow) and French Ultramarine with Alizarin renders a surprising range of other colors resembling everything from Burnt Sienna and Umber to Payne’s Gray, while Alizarin Crimson with French Ultramarine creates an intense purple. 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.

Comparing Quinacridone colors for florals

By Blog TeamTags: Quinacridone Pink

This bouquet of nine quinacridone watercolors in gorgeous pinks, reds and violets are beloved by watercolor artists, especially those who paint florals.

Quinacridones (we have others in the gold-sienna-orange color range) were developed for the automotive industry, which needed highly lightfast and durable colors. When the quinacridone pigments are made into artist paints, the watercolors are very transparent, non-granulating and are rated either Excellent (100+ years) or Very Good (100 years) for lightfastness.

Quinacridones finish very smoothly (perfect for glazing) and allow the brightness of the paper to show through their transparency, giving a beautiful glow. Highly re-wettable with exceptional clarity and vivid hues, these colors are a joy to paint with.
