Experience subtle sophistication with Schmincke Horadam Aquarell Watercolour Paint - Ultramarine Violet (Colour No. 495, Series 2), a granulating blue-violet pigment admired for its delicate transparency and ethereal glow. This colour offers a unique violet tone that cannot be mixed from other pigments, making it an essential addition to every professional artist’s palette.

Formulated from Ultramarine Violet and Ultramarine Blue (PV15, PB29), this semi-transparent hue delivers good lightfastness and a soft granulating texture that enhances skies, floral shadows, and atmospheric compositions. Its gentle tinting strength and coarse-grained finish create natural texture and dimension in both washes and glazing techniques.

Each Horadam Aquarell paint is crafted with premium Kordofan Gum Arabic from the southern Sahara carefully selected and tested for consistency, purity, and performance. This ensures flawless flow control, exceptional rewetting ability, and enduring brilliance, whether used fresh from the tube or reactivated on the palette.

With over 150 professional watercolour shades available in 5ml, 15ml, Half Pan, and Full Pan (sold separately) and 95 single-pigment colours for precise, luminous mixing, Schmincke Horadam Aquarell represents the finest tradition in artist-grade paints.
