Manganese Violet Watercolor Paint

Description

Manganese Violet is our exquisitely hand crafted watercolor paint made with an extremely concentrated, high quality single source pigment. Every pan is meticulously hand mulled, filled, and labeled, using pure local honey, natural gum arabic, and a small amount of food grade sodium benzoate preservative to achieve a concentrated and richly textured pigment. Every paint is single pigment with maximum concentration and no fillers or extenders.

Manganese Violet is a luminous, reddish violet pigment composed of manganese phosphate. Introduced in the mid-19th century as a non-toxic alternative to earlier violets, this pigment offers a delicate balance between warmth and coolness, with excellent lightfastness and a soft matte finish. Its gentle granulation and semi-transparent character make it ideal for florals, portrait work, and harmonious layering in both classical and expressive styles.
