Professional Tips & Care

• To paint realistic violets or irises, use this as your base mid-tone, adding white for highlights and a deeper blue or dioxazine purple for shadows.
• For vibrant, clean mixes, avoid combining this blue-violet with earth colors like raw umber unless a specifically muted, grayed-down tone is desired.
• This color is excellent for creating a colored ground (underpainting) for portraits or still lifes, setting a cool, moody tone.
• Always cap the tube tightly after use to prevent the paint from skinning in the nozzle.
• Seal finished artwork with a varnish to protect the color intensity and unify the surface sheen.
