Cobalt Violet - Cobalt Violet creates glowing shadows with interesting granulation. An inorganic pigment, this violet is considered transparent, non-staining (or low-tinting) and ideal for glazing methods. Cobalt Violets ability to create soft edges, to lift and to mix readily makes it a valuable contribution to watercolor palettes.

This is a granulating color, meaning a grainy visual texture is created when the pigment particles settle and clump together rather than settling evenly on the painted surface. Granulation is more pronounced on textured papers.
