Michael Harding Oil Paint - 314 Perylene Violet 40ml

Michael Harding was the first oil paint maker to manufacture this shade of Perylene Violet in oil. This truly unique color is often found in watercolor ranges but not oil. Perylene Violet is a smoky mauve violet with an unusual character. When combined with rich yellows, such as Indian Yellow, the combined colors produce amazing browns and deep, gingery shades. This is a subtle color that may not leap off the palette and dazzle in the way quinacridone does, but it is a marvelous addition! Michael Harding Perylene Violet has an atmospheric quality. Use it in mixes to create a beautiful, fleshy base tone. It’s also quite useful when mixed with white to cool whites, especially when painting fabrics. Artists will also enjoy mixing it with transparent colors. And as an additional benefit, Perylene Violet helps keep chroma under control.
