ABOUT THIS COLOUR
Carmine is a deep, cool crimson formulated with Pigment Red 122 (PR122), admired for its rich floral character, exceptional transparency, and outstanding mixing versatility. Elegant and expressive, it bridges the gap between red and violet, making it an essential choice for artists who enjoy painting florals, portraits, and atmospheric landscapes.
Its cool undertone produces beautiful pinks when diluted and mixes effortlessly with blues to create luminous violets and purples. Whether capturing velvety rose petals, dramatic evening skies, berries, fabrics, or delicate botanical studies, Carmine brings remarkable depth and sophistication to every painting.
PRODUCT FEATURES
• High-Quality Pigment: Made with premium-quality pigments for strong, consistent colour, smooth application, and reliable coverage in every wash.
• The "Full Pan" Guarantee: We fill these 2.5ml pans in multiple layers. Because watercolour shrinks as it dries, we repeat the process so you get a full, generously filled pan rather than a half-empty one.
• Ready to Paint: You won't be scrubbing at the pan to lift colour. Just hit it with a damp brush and it reactivates instantly, ready for smooth, dependable use every session.
• Elegant transparent colour: Its transparent nature makes Carmine ideal for glazing, layering, and building rich, luminous depth while preserving the brilliance of underlying washes.
• Great for Mixing: Blends beautifully with every colour in the Thoovi range to create glowing violets, vibrant pinks, muted neutrals, and countless expressive colour combinations.
• Travel-Friendly: It's a standard half-pan size, so it drops right into almost any portable palette - ideal for travel, plein air work, or urban sketching.
• Safe & Lasting: Non-toxic and rated good for lightfastness, so this colour is safe to use and holds its tone well over time when displayed and stored correctly.
