DANIEL SMITH EXTRA FINE WATERCOLOR 15ML - PERMANENT VIOLET (S3)

The soft handling ability or even dispersion of this lightfast, semi-transparent pigment helps make this a fine pre-mixed violet. The rich, medium to high staining pigment shows strong, reddish-violet color. Use Permanent Violet in velvety purple washes of subjects such as pansies and other flowers.

Starting with 10 parts water to 1 part paint (by weight) in the palette, our chemist paints the top half of the swatch uniformly with a round brush to show the paint’s color and characteristics. For the bottom half, he dips a ¾” flat brush into the paint well just once, then applies the color in stripes until the brush is dry, which shows the color’s tone and behavior through a wash. We use these swatches for color matching during the manufacturing process.
