Description:

Amethyst is a stunning watercolour that beautifully combines the rich pigments P.V 19 (Quinacridone Violet), P.B 29 (Ultramarine Blue), and P.B 35 (Cerulean Blue). This exquisite blend creates a captivating hue that embodies the elegance and depth of the gemstone after which it is named.

The Quinacridone Violet provides a vibrant, luminous base, infusing the mixture with a warm, inviting tone that evokes the enchanting qualities of amethyst crystals. This warmth is beautifully complemented by the depth of Ultramarine Blue, which adds a cool, shadowy richness that enhances the overall complexity of the colour. Cerulean Blue introduces a touch of brightness and clarity, creating a balanced interplay of warmth and coolness.

Amethyst exhibits a smooth, flowing application and excellent transparency, making it ideal for both washes and glazing techniques. Its unique granulating properties create a lovely texture that mimics the natural variations found in amethyst, adding visual interest to paintings.

This versatile colour is perfect for capturing a wide range of subjects, from ethereal skies and dreamy landscapes to vibrant florals and abstract compositions. Whether used in delicate layers or bold strokes, Amethyst invites creativity and exploration, providing a sophisticated addition to any artist’s palette.
