Stoneground Hooker’s Green Watercolour
Stoneground Hooker’s Green is the perfect compliment for botanical, landscape, still life, and illustration work. This deep green is named for an English botanical artist, William Hooker. By combining Prussian Blue and Gamboge, Hooker created a green vibrant enough for his botanical paintings, and one that would be named in his honour with the advent of synthetic pigments.
