Description

Lavender is a gentle, cool-toned watercolour pigment that merges soft blue and purple hues to create a calming, pastel shade reminiscent of misty skies or flowering lavender fields. Its pale, airy quality exudes tranquility, making it a beautiful choice for florals, ethereal landscapes, and dreamy atmospheric effects. Whether used in delicate details or expansive washes, this pigment adds a serene, luminous touch to your watercolour compositions.

Lavender is semi-opaque and flows effortlessly, allowing artists to achieve smooth, even washes and graceful transitions. At full strength, it delivers a soft lavender with cool blue undertones, while when diluted, it becomes an ultra-light tint ideal for highlights, backgrounds, or subtle glazes. Its slight granulation adds natural texture, enriching the surface with organic visual interest, particularly in larger washes and loose styles.

This pigment offers excellent lightfastness, ensuring that its soft tones remain vibrant over time. It blends well with other colours—creating gentle purples with blues, or soft neutrals when paired with earthy tones. Whether you're painting botanicals, serene skies, or abstract work, Lavender is a versatile addition to any artist’s palette, bringing a peaceful, delicate charm to watercolour artwork.
