Schmincke Horadam Aquarell Watercolour Paint 5ml - S2 - Schmincke Violet

Unleash expressive depth and vibrancy with Schmincke Horadam Aquarell Watercolour Paint - Schmincke Violet (Colour No. 476, Series 2). This classic bluish-violet tone is rich, saturated, and ideal for creating dramatic shadows, floral details, and moody atmospheric effects. A traditional artist’s colour, Schmincke Violet stands out for its pure, unmixed intensity a hue that cannot be replicated by blending other pigments.

Made with Dioxazine Violet (PV23), this semi-transparent pigment offers strong tinting power, smooth flow, and a striking depth of colour. While it performs beautifully on its own, its high chroma and sensitivity to mixtures make it best suited for solo use or glazing applications, where its radiance can shine through.

Each Horadam Aquarell paint is bound with premium Kordofan Gum Arabic from the southern Sahara, ensuring exceptional resolubility, even reactivation, and consistent colour flow. Schmincke’s meticulous pigment testing and formulation guarantee maximum lightfastness, colour purity, and durability for professional artists.

With over 150 colours available in 5ml, 15ml, Half Pan, and Full Pan (sold separately) and 95 single-pigment hues for clean, predictable mixing, Schmincke Horadam Aquarell remains the gold standard in professional watercolours.

Schmincke Violet (Series 2) is a brilliant bluish-violet with semi-transparent character, perfect for artists seeking a rich, intense violet that captures luminosity and classic pigment depth.
