About this product range
Offering long-term, lightfast performance across a wide range of techniques, Schmincke Aqua Drop Watercolors are brilliant, pigment-based watercolors in a versatile fluid format. Ready to use directly from the bottle, apply them with the included dropper top, brushes, dip pens, and airbrushes (nozzle size 15.00 mm and up) for vivid, transparent color. Excellent for traditional watercolor techniques, colors can also be thinned with water for subtle washes. Every color in the line is formulated with permanent pigments and rated ‘good’ to ‘excellent’ for lightfastness.
Opaque White can be used alone or added to mixtures to create tints and increase opacity. It is not suitable for use with Aqua Drop Liners alone or in mixtures.

Dioxazine Violet
- Pigment code
- PV23
- Type
- organic
- Chemical name
- carbazole dioxazine
- Chemical formula
- C34H22Cl2N4O2
- Properties
- Dioxazine Violet is transparent and has very high tinting strength. It is a staining pigment, very dark valued when it is used at full strength. Concentrated, it paints out nearly black, but it mixes with Titanium White to form bright, opaque tints of purple. PV23 produces slightly redder shades than PV37. Because the hue can vary with the conditions of preparation and grinding, it may be offered in red shade, blue shade, and so forth.
- Permanence
- Dioxazine Violet has good lightfastness. There may be some concern about it fading or shifting in color in tints and washes. Some artists have reported that PV37, a molecular variant, is more lightfast than PV23.
- History
- Two molecular variants of Dioxazine Violet, PV23 and PV37, are available. They have similar properties, but mix slightly differently.
- Description
- Dioxazine Purple, Chromothal Violet, Mauve, Carbazole Violet.
