Description

Permanent Rose (P.V. 19) is a vibrant, cool-toned pinkish-red watercolour pigment with an intense, luminous quality. Its transparent nature and brilliant rose-like hue make it perfect for painting vivid florals, glowing sunsets, and striking highlights. The cool undertone gives it a slight blue tint, allowing for smooth transitions into purples and deeper reds. This versatility makes it ideal for a wide range of subjects, including botanical studies, portraits, and abstract works.

With excellent transparency, Permanent Rose allows for smooth, even washes and delicate glazing while maintaining its vibrant colour saturation. When used in full strength, it delivers a powerful magenta-red, while diluted, it creates soft, rosy pinks, perfect for delicate highlights or subtle shading. The pigment mixes seamlessly with other colours, producing vibrant purples when mixed with blues or warm corals when blended with yellows.

One of its standout features is its exceptional lightfastness, ensuring that the colour will remain stable and not fade over time. Artists appreciate Permanent Rose for its bright, clean colour and its flexibility, whether used for bold, saturated strokes or transparent layers. It is an essential addition to any watercolour palette, offering both intensity and subtlety in one pigment.
