Its semi-transparent nature allows for layering and blending, creating depth and texture in every wash.
Swatching Process Our chemist mixes 10 parts water to 1 part paint (by weight) in the palette. The top half of the swatch is painted uniformly with a round brush to showcase the paint’s characteristics. For the bottom half, a ¾” flat brush is used to apply the color in stripes, showing the paint’s tone and behavior in a wash. This process ensures consistent color matching during production.
Creative Applications Imperial Purple is a versatile pigment that can be used for a wide range of applications. Its granulating nature is ideal for creating texture in florals, landscapes, and skies. The deep, royal tones can add dramatic shadows and highlights, while its ability to soften into pale lavender makes it perfect for delicate washes. Whether used in bold strokes or subtle hints, Imperial Purple elevates the beauty of any artwork.
