Description

Hematite Genuine (P.Br 29) is a striking watercolour pigment derived from natural hematite mineral, offering a rich, earthy grey with deep reddish-brown undertones. This unique pigment is known for its natural granulation, producing dramatic, textured effects that evoke the rugged beauty of rocky landscapes, weathered stone, and earthy elements in nature. The high iron content of Hematite Genuine lends it a subtle metallic sheen, creating dimension and character in your artwork.

As a highly granulating pigment, Hematite Genuine produces beautiful, textural effects that bring a sense of depth and realism to watercolour compositions. When used at full strength, it delivers a strong, earthy grey with warm reddish or rusty hues, reminiscent of raw iron ore. When diluted, it softens into lighter grey tones and reveals its distinctive granulation, ideal for painting stone, mountains, or natural textures. The pigment’s granulation enhances the authenticity of landscapes and organic scenes.

With excellent lightfastness, Hematite Genuine maintains its deep, earthy tones over time, ensuring the long-lasting quality of your artwork. This pigment pairs beautifully with other earth tones, as well as blues, to enhance its mineral-like qualities. Perfect for landscape artists, abstract painters, and those seeking to create textured, expressive compositions, Hematite Genuine brings a rugged, natural beauty to your watercolour palette.
