Description

Viridian Green is a vibrant, cool-toned watercolour pigment that showcases a bright, intense green with subtle blue undertones. Known for its lively and fresh appearance, this pigment is perfect for capturing the essence of lush foliage, emerald waters, and vibrant landscapes. Its striking colour adds vitality and energy to any composition, making it a top choice for artists working on natural subjects.

As a transparent pigment, Viridian Green allows for smooth, luminous washes that maintain clarity and brightness. At full strength, it delivers a rich, deep green, while when diluted, it transforms into lighter, delicate tints, perfect for highlights, glazing, or creating soft backgrounds. The pigment’s inherent **granulation** enhances the organic quality of washes, adding texture and depth, which is especially valuable for depicting plants, trees, and other natural scenes.

Viridian Green boasts excellent lightfastness, ensuring that its vibrant hue remains stable over time. It mixes beautifully with other colours, producing a wide range of greens when combined with yellows or earth tones, and can create dark, muted shades when blended with blues or blacks. This versatile and striking pigment is a favourite for artists who wish to infuse their compositions with a lively, fresh green that evokes the beauty of nature.

Ordered hand made quality watercolours from Jackmans. Made a slight error so emailed Jackmans. MD replied and made the amends to my order, all delivered on time without delay

jackman's viridian green PG18

My first impression is that this is a well pigmented version of PG18 which rewets fairly easily and has good granulation.

A rich true colour

This Viridian green is a rich blue green which granulated slightly onto a rough watercolour paper surface . I combined it with cobalt teal to under paint for glorious sea effects
