Allium Handmade Watercolour, Red Purple

One half pan of handmade watercolour, in the colour Allium.

I enjoy gardening very much, and have too many ‘favourite flowers’ to even count... but one variety is the beautiful Ornamental Onion, or Allium. They grow like big purple lollipops! When I swatched this colour after mulling it the first time, that’s all I could think of- that wonderful ball of purple!!

Allium is gorgeous. It has an excellent lightfast rating and granulates beautifully. It is, once again, a single-pigment colour, so it will keep your mixes clean and vibrant. I’ve included a comparison picture with both Allium (left) and Ultramarine Violet (right) so you can see the colour difference with these two purple colours. Allium leans more towards red than Ultramarine Violet.

*Currently also available in a quarter pan size (1 ml). To purchase that size pan, please see the quarter pan listing.
