Daniel Smith Watercolour Paint 15ml Series 2 - Imperial Purple is a professional extra fine watercolour with a rich, regal purple hue that offers remarkable depth, texture and versatility. Made with PV19 and PB29 pigments, this highly saturated purple granulates beautifully to reveal complex undertones of plum and ultramarine, giving paintings a more lively and dimensional appearance than flatter violet mixes. From deep dramatic shadows to delicate pale lavender washes, Imperial Purple delivers a wide tonal range that makes it ideal for florals, twilight skies, moody landscapes, still life and expressive mixed colour work.

Handmade in Seattle, Washington, Daniel Smith Extra Fine Watercolours are trusted by artists worldwide for their exceptional pigment quality, excellent brushing properties and superior lightfastness. Imperial Purple is semi-transparent and low staining, allowing artists to build luminous layered washes while still enjoying the textured effects of granulation. Its soft lifting quality and beautiful separation of colour make it especially appealing for painters who want a purple with both strength and subtle visual complexity.

This 15ml Series 2 tube is a striking addition to any professional watercolour palette, particularly for artists painting irises, sunsets, shadows, atmospheric backgrounds and richly coloured botanical subjects. Daniel Smith Imperial Purple mixes beautifully with blues, reds and earth tones to create nuanced neutrals and sophisticated darks, while also standing strongly on its own as a statement colour. For artists seeking a premium granulating purple with elegance, permanence and expressive range, Daniel Smith Imperial Purple is an outstanding choice.
