Winsor & Newton Artists' Oil Colour 37ml Mars Violet Deep
Winsor & Newton Artists' Oil Colour Mars Violet Deep is a soft mauve-brown colour. It is an opaque pigment. It was called Caput Mortuum (meaning 'head of the dead') by the Romans, referring to the colour of dried blood.
Every tube of Artists' Oil Paint contains a calculated ratio of oil and pigment based on the quantity of oil in the tube. This varies from color to color because, just as some pigments need to be ground finer than others, they also need more, or less, oil to provide optimal performance.
