Michael Harding Artists Oil Colour 40ml Ultramarine Violet
No. 208 is a variant of Ultramarine pigment. This color is achieved by slightly altering the manufacture of blue shade Sodium Sulphosilicate by heating it with Chlorine. The result is a weaker, more violet pigment that has a relatively low tint power and a degree of transparency that lends itself well to glazes or thin body color. In hues it becomes a high-keyed, rather fluffy textured mauve, which landscapists have found useful for the brighter tones of a clear sky and for the modelling of a sunlit cloud.
