Schmincke Horadam Aquarell Watercolour Paint 5ml - S2 - Quinacridone Purple

Immerse your artwork in rich vibrancy with Schmincke Horadam Aquarell Watercolour Paint - Quinacridone Purple (Colour No. 472, Series 2). This blue-violet hue sits beautifully between Quinacridone Violet and Manganese Violet, offering a brilliant balance of cool depth and radiant luminosity. Its smooth flow and even transparency make it a versatile choice for floral work, expressive abstracts, and deep shadow glazes.

Formulated with Quinacridone Purple (PV55), this single-pigment watercolour provides excellent lightfastness, semi-transparent coverage, and semi-staining behaviour, allowing artists to layer, lift, and blend with precision. It produces striking results whether used in subtle gradients or bold washes, maintaining chromatic clarity without dullness.

Every Horadam Aquarell colour is made with Kordofan Gum Arabic sourced from the southern Sahara—carefully tested for purity and performance to ensure superior resolubility, consistent texture, and lasting brilliance. Once dry, it rewets effortlessly, preserving its original intensity and flow.

With over 150 professional shades available in 5ml, 15ml, Half Pan, and Full Pan formats (sold separately) and 95 single-pigment options designed for precise mixing, Schmincke Horadam Aquarell continues to set the standard in professional watercolour craftsmanship.

Quinacridone Purple (Series 2) is a luminous, blue-leaning violet with superb transparency, strong lightfastness, and a refined modern pigment structure perfect for artists who value both control and vibrancy in their creative expression.
