Phthalo green

Phtalo Green is an essential pigment in watercolor, valued for its vibrant intensity, transparency, and exceptional staining power. This cool green with subtle bluish undertones offers remarkable depth, making it perfect for capturing the richness of lush foliage, tropical landscapes, and emerald waters.

Thanks to its high solubility, it blends easily and allows for the creation of a wide range of shades. When mixed with a bright yellow such as Light Isaro Yellow, Chartreuse Yellow, or Saffron Yellow, it produces brilliant and natural greens, ideal for springtime vegetation. Combined with Phthalo Blue or Ultramarine Blue, it creates intense turquoises, perfect for marine scenes. When mixed with Burnt Umber or Van Dyck Brown, it results in darker greens, ideal for more realistic and nuanced landscapes.

With excellent lightfastness, Phthalo Green is a powerful pigment that should be used sparingly due to its strong staining ability. A must-have for watercolorists seeking a pure, dynamic, and versatile green.
