Description:

Phthalocyanine Green (P.G. 7) is a vibrant, intense watercolour pigment known for its strikingly rich green hue with a slightly blue undertone. This powerful colour is reminiscent of deep, lush foliage and vibrant landscapes, making it an excellent choice for artists looking to convey the vitality and richness of nature. Its bold, saturated tone provides a captivating focal point in compositions, perfect for capturing the essence of verdant scenery.

This pigment is highly transparent, allowing for smooth, luminous washes that maintain their clarity and brightness. When applied at full strength, Phthalocyanine Green delivers an intense, deep green, while diluted, it softens into lighter, more ethereal greens ideal for subtle highlights or airy backgrounds. Its excellent tinting strength makes it a versatile addition to any palette, enabling artists to create a wide range of greens when mixed with yellows or to achieve deep, dark shades when combined with blues or blacks.

Phthalocyanine Green boasts exceptional lightfastness, ensuring that its vivid colour remains stable and vibrant over time. Its smooth application and strong staining properties make it a favourite among watercolourists for both bold and subtle techniques. This pigment is ideal for artists focused on landscapes, botanical subjects, or modern abstract works, providing a fresh and dynamic green that breathes life into watercolour compositions.
