Michael Harding Oil Paint Linseed Oil 60ml Ultramarine Violet Artists Colour

PV15. Average Drying. Transparent. Excellent Lightfastness. Average Oil Content. \nA variant of Ultramarine pigment, achieved when slightly altering the manufacture of the blue shade, Sodium Sulphosilicate, by heating it with Chloride. The result is a weaker, more violet pigment which has low tint power and a degree of transparency that lends itself to being exploited in glazes or thin bodycolour. In hues it becomes a high-keyed, rather fluffy mauve which landscapists have found apposite for the brighter tones of clear skies and for the modelling of sunlit clouds.
