Quindo Violet light, PV 55

Quindo Violet light is a pigment Violet 55. It has a similar shade as Alizarin Violet which is no longer available. The pigment can be worked easily in watercolor or acrylic but needs to be ground very thoroughly in oil. The oil ratio is rather high and the addition of a siccative might be helpful. Tempera binders should be tested prior to final applications. Quindo Violet light can be processed very well in Feldmann’s Egg Tempera.
