Hello friends!
Do you know how many watercolor violets/purples exist?
I counted 8 and I want to swatch them with you to understand the difference: Cobalt, Manganese, Quinacridone and many more...
I'm also painting some roses to better explore the different violets.

I'm so obsessed by violets that I just published a Skillshare class about watercolor Wisteria; if you are not on Skillshare, my referral link will give one month free trial: https://skl.sh/3JWEYQm

Hereafter my affiliated links to the products swatched: they will support my channel without costing you any extra money.
