Tri-Art Water Colours - Viridian Hue

Semi-opaque

Best - 4

Found in the works of Impressionist painters like Claude Monet, Viridian gained popularity in the 19th century as a clear, bluish-green. This expertly formulated hue replaces the moderately toxic, genuine form of Viridian. Comprised of phthalo green (blue shade) and raw umber, Viridian Hue is very deep green in mass tone, with a rich blue-green emerald undertone to match. Viridian Hue is excellent for glazing in thin layers and a softer alternative to phthalo green, at the far end of earth green.
