Michael Harding: Oil Paint 304 Manganese Violet, 40ml

Michael Hardings Artists' Oil Colour Manganese Violet, 40ml Tube.

"Manganese Ammonium Pyrophosphate, a heavy bold Violet which was first made in Germany in 1868. One of the mid-19th century wave of synthetic inorganic metal salts which influenced a change in artists palettes. Manganese Violet has very mild reddish overtones that do not cut through mixes and which some find useful when making reflex or shadowy greys. Its average Tint Power allows it to be added without greatly lowering the tonality of the result."
