Hello friends!
I’m Elisabetta, an Italian watercolor artist with a passion and a curiosity for art supplies and pigments.
Today we are swatching and comparing 11 different brands of Manganese Violet: Winsor & Newton, Rembrandt, Old Holland, Schminke, Blockx, Renesans.

Manganese Violet is a very lightfast watercolour, an ideal reddish purple for any watercolour palette. It's a very underrated colour that I would like to bring to your attention!

I will also try some mixes, although in my opinion Manganese Violet is such a beautiful colour that it gives its best pure and straight from the palette!
