Description

Opera Rose is a vibrant, neon-like watercolour pigment with an intense, almost fluorescent pink hue. This eye-catching colour is perfect for bold florals, lively skies, and any subject requiring a pop of radiant, glowing pink. Known for its luminous, warm tone, Opera Rose adds energy and excitement to contemporary works, making it a popular choice for high-impact paintings.

Despite its striking intensity, Opera Rose maintains a smooth, transparent quality that allows for glowing washes and subtle blends with other colours. When diluted, it creates soft, luminous pinks, while full-strength application delivers a bold, attention-grabbing magenta. It mixes well with blues and purples, creating vivid purples or bright, glowing reds when combined.

One thing to note is that Opera Rose has a lower lightfastness rating compared to other watercolour pigments, meaning it may fade over time with exposure to strong light. Artists often use it for temporary works or in combination with more stable colours to ensure lasting vibrancy. Its electrifying quality makes it a must-have for adding bold highlights and expressive accents to watercolour paintings.

Rivals the top brand for opera rose

I am very pleased with Jackman’s Opera Rose, it’s hue is near identical with the leading brand but has the bonus of being fortified by a very stable colour meaning that over time you will never be left with a fugitive hole in your painting or art work, just a slightly less vibrant colour. It is also very fairly priced making it good value aground while painting out beautifully.

Opera rose water colour paint

Amazing quality, excellent packaging and such good value. Am aiming to replace my current granulating brand with these. The tube has a lovely point to it which saves squeezing out too much and wasting the colour. Thank you.
