Series 2

Its unique properties make Mars Violet indispensable in various artistic endeavours. Primarily, it serves as the ideal pigment for replicating the natural colour of lips, unmatched by any other. Additionally, its dull earthy nature proves surprisingly valuable for landscape artists, serving as the base for creating dusky colours found in flowers and evening landscapes.

When blended with White and Ultramarine, Mars Violet produces muted mauves, capturing the atmospheric effects common in nature. Its permanence ensures confidence in applying various techniques. While Mars Violet may seem like a one-trick pony, its mastery of that one job is unparalleled. Artists who lean towards earth colours, Cobalt Blue, Titanium White, and Mars Black find Mars Violet among their most useful hues, especially considering the prevalence of violets in nature.
