- Hello friends!
Do you know how many watercolor violets/purples exist?
I counted 8 and I want to swatch them with you to understand the difference: Cobalt, Manganese, Quinacridone and many more...
I'm also painting some roses to better explore the different violets.
I'm so obsessed by violets that I just published a Skillshare class about watercolor Wisteria; if you are not on Skillshare, my referral link will give one month free trial: skl.sh/3JWEYQm

Great comparison, pink is definitely my favourite colour to use in watercolour
Thank you ! ❤️thank for sharing!
The range of pinks that have reasonable lightfastness seems to be growing. Pink is pretty, but purple has always been a favourite of mine for decades. Sadly, I am now 56 and have become the poster girl (old lady) for that wonderful poem, I naturally cannot remember (see, an age thing again) 🙄 about getting old and behaving badly whilst wearing purple well past my sell by date! 😂😂
I think purple is a great colour to wear!
@@WatercolorElisabetta ❤️
Manganese Violet is one of those very beautiful paints. It’s lovely on its own and very useful in mixes.
I just found out! I need to set up a new palette with my new favourite colours ❤️❤️
@@WatercolorElisabetta Exploring new colours is always fun!
Sorry you feel poorly, I hope you fully recover soon. As usual, a fascinating video. I learn so very much from you! I give my permission to be named as the culprit who sent the package, as I think it makes your (unnecessary) mention of said culprit very complicated! 🤔 Your roses look so pretty, and yes, it produces a much better way to show the differences. I cannot paint in a loose way at all, I am a control freak where art is concerned. I shall head on over to Skillshare and see if you can help me loosen up painting wisteria!! Please, please, please make up many pallets containing your paints by brand, or mix and match for perhaps a floral palette, an urban palette, a landscape palette etc. I think if you are waiting to use up Paul Rubin’s, it may take years! Rotate your palettes, and splash that paint around!! 😀 You own it now, so the only guilt you should feel is that some of your favourites may remain hidden away for too long. You are such a wonderful all-round artist that you need a wide range of palettes suitable for each individual painting, or line and wash etc. OK, I will now shut up, because I am, most definitely, worse than you in the hoarding and lack of use thing department. A case for “do as I say, not as I do” ❤️❤
Thank you for this message Anita! Actually I turn around 3 palletes, but I will soon move the Paul Rubens one to the kitchen, so in the studio I will make a brand new one with my favourite colours! As per loose flowers, I think it’s the most difficult thing to draw…I sometimes fill a sheet of paper of roses just to practice, because it has taken me a long time to understand them. Have a nice Sunday Anita…
Sorry to hear that you have a cold. Best wishes for a speed recovery :)
Thank you my friend! ❤️
Useful to see these all side by side. Ty. You might also like v58 mayan violet , amethyst primatek, and purpurite primatek. All deep, all granulating and all by ds - so in the expensive ‘intimidating’ category you mention
I have Mayan Blue, which in find very beautiful! I have never tried primatek colours…I know they are beautiful!! Thanks a lot for your comment, and I’m adding your suggestion to my very long wishlist…especially the Amethyst!
Hope you are feeling better soon! Thank you for the video! I am missing the M.Graham Cobalt Violet 💜. BTW Schmincke has also a PV62. It is gorgeous. 💜
Thank you Martina!! I actually own the Schminke PV62 as well…there is a dedicated video to all my cobalt violets…but I used the giant tube of LUKAS hoping I will finish it sooner or later 😂
Hi Elisabetta, have a look at this article regarding the difference between violet and purple. I had the same question as you.
Hi Alex! I don’t see the link…can you please write it down once again ? I’m interested! Thanks!
Those roses look poetic!
Thank you ❤️❤️❤️it has taken me some time to get the hang of it…
@@WatercolorElisabetta I haven’t tried them before. It’s in the pipeline for the future.
Hi Elisabetta. Violets are fun! What a beautiful collection of violets you have. I especially love the Lavender and the Schmincke Perylene colors you swatched out. Also, your Wisteria flower painting turned out great. Have you tried the Wisteria watercolor paint from Daniel Smith? It is one of my personal favorites. Holbein makes a very similar color, called Lilac (PR 122, PV23, and PW6). It might be a good alternative for those who can't get their hands on Wisteria. Sorry about your cold, hope you feel better soon! :)
Ciao Morrison! Yes that Perylene violet is really wonderful. I want to use it in a proper painting TODAY! I’m kind of upset that you mentioned wisteria by DS because now I have a strong desire to have it!! I have a thing for wisteria flowers, they remind me of my childhood and my mother… so I have this beautiful excuse for some art supply shopping! Have a very lovely Sunday Morrison!
@@WatercolorElisabetta it is semi opaque and is a lighter shade of purple. You may want to check out a video about it before buying, just to make sure you like the color. Cheers!
@@morrisonwatercolors I saw something in one of your videos!
@@WatercolorElisabetta 👍👍👍
Violet is a more official color and is apart of the color spectrum. Purple is just a color and a mixture of red and blue. Typically you’ll see more objects called purple in US General American Vernacular English, meanwhile you’ll see violet in UK (received pronunciation) and its nonAmerican colonies. The choice is up to you on what you’d use.
And, I love all the colors you showed. I use PV23. I probably should do a lightfast test, but eh. I think the brand you used is lightfast when I looked up other people’s lightfast tests.
And funnily, I watched one of your videos for PV14 and bought it, and I can say I reaaaalllly love it. It’s so beautiful. Makes me happy to see it. 😁😁😁
Thank you for your message ❤️it really clarified the difference between the 2 terms! I’m glad you’re happy with your PV14 it’s one of my most used colors!
I love cobalt and manganse violets. I have some pigments different from the ones you have swatched: Holbein's versión of cobalt violet light, PV47, is beautiful. Dioxacine
violet from Gallo, with PV37, is not very lightfast, but beautiful. And then, Schmincke has Brilliant red violet, made up with PR81:2, is a pinky brillant color. Again, thank you for your videos, I enjoy a lot with them.
Wow what a fascinating world are pigments! Thank you so much for sharing…I will check out the colours you recommend ❤️
Get well soon
Thank you ❤️
PV16 is so very beautiful. But Daniel Smith doesn't have it in their collection... Which surprises me
True! It is a very underrated colour. And DS could really offer it. Thank you for your comment 😊
Benzimidazolone violet PV32? And Quinacridone Pink PV42? Both are among the richest violets.
Hi! I didn’t know PV32… thank you for pointing out. About PV42 you’re right! I just put it in the pink/magenta compartment of my head and forgot about it…
Such beautiful colours!
And it's also really useful to see the different PVs compared. Please, could you do this for the other colours?
And now having finished the video: I love your roses, so lovely and delicate!
Also I really want to try the ultramarine violet.
Thank you for your comment! What colour would be your first choice? Maybe blue? Thanks!! 😍
Thank you again!! It has taken a while to understand how to draw roses…😰so I really appreciate your words! Ultramarine violet is AWESOME I agree 😍
@@WatercolorElisabetta I'd love that. Blue is my favourite, although I know far less about the yellows, reds or greens. I was really hoping for a series😉
I will add it to the pipeline! 😰 so much to know it’s fun! I’m glad you share my curiosity…
I love violets and purples! My favourite at the moment is Rembrandt ultramarine violet but they’re all beautiful. I like the idea of painting roses for swatching.
Hi Sonya! Thanks for sharing….I have a soft spot for Rembrandt…
There is PV1 but it is no longer used. PV2 was used in white nights watercolour in the colour violet rose but it has apparently been discontinued. PV3 is violet in white nights watercolour
Thank you so much! I have never tried those pigments! Take care and thanks for the comment.
I'd like to see a pv23 & pv37 comparison for dioxazine violet is a beautiful royal violet color. I prefer darker ones from Daniel Smith or Winsor&Newton for color intensity and better lightfastness.
PV 23 is a must have in my palette. I don’t know PV37 but it’s an interesting topic! Thanks!
@@WatercolorElisabetta Roman szmal has a pv37 as their dioxazine violet.
I love violet shadows but strangely enough I don't really use violets in my palette. I tend to mix warm blues (French ultramarine by Schmincke is my absolute favorite) with reddish browns (redder shades of burnt umber or PBr25) and/or cool reds (PV19, PR264) with cool greens (PG7, PG18) for my darks and all of that creates distinct purple-leaning shadows.
Hi Mike! Yes purple mixed with French Ultramarine has a delightful granulation. Believe it or not, I also mix my purples quite often! I also like mixing purple with Phtalo green…but I’m enchanted by all these single pigment violets…thanks a lot for your comment! I think that comments like yours make my channel richer and more interesting…

@@mikepolo2887 how did you do that? Are you a chemist?
@@WatercolorElisabetta I do have some background in chemistry. But I would refer you to the channel Alchemical arts (he has some other cool syntheses there), there is a great description of the method. In principle, you just mix some monoammonium phosphate, phosphoric acid, and manganese dioxide and heat to 230 degrees for several hours. This stuff is relatively nontoxic.
@@mikepolo2887 Mike I don’t need a new obsession 😂 I bet if I start baking pigments I can’t stop doing it!
I love violets and purples. Pv14 from winsor and newton is so much better. Less sticky and more tinted. I love the hue of permanent mauve but I never know how to use that beautiful color and it's grabulation. Ultramarine violet by W&N was an unexpected love. I love that it is not as blue as other ultramarine violets, and that is not as strong as dioxazine violet. I use it in shadows a lot. That and perylene violet are on my main palette. Oh and by the way, I think dioxazine violet gets a bad reputation but is not as fading as ratings tell. My professional yellows and my percussion blue with excelente lightfast lightfastness faded within weeks. Before opera rose. All my pinks and reds except for white nights "quinacridone rose" whose pigment I can't remember, darkened and became warmer after a year of sunlight. My dioxazine violet did not change a bit.
Hi Paulina, thanks for your message! From what I understand, lightfastness of Dioxazine Violet is very variable, and it depends very much on the brands, so I guess you have a lightfast version! I need to set up a new palette with these new colours....I only have one 2 purples in my current palette, dioxazine and cobalt, I need to add manganese and perylene at least! Have a lovely Sunday!
First!
Yeeees!!!! 🏆
@@WatercolorElisabetta Yay 😄
This always makes me giggle, thank you 😂🤪
