Description
Stoneground Paint Co. Hellebore Purple Gouache
Stoneground Hellebore Purple Gouache is a water-based media that dries to an opaque, matte finish. Hellebore Purple is a dull, nearly black purple inspired by the spring blooms of black hellebore flowers. A moody and dark maroon-violet, this is Stoneground’s darkest modern gouache color.
Artist Notes: This dramatic purple hue is an excellent choice for dark botanicals and for capturing shadows in landscapes. Combine it with yellows for interesting and complex browns found in autumn grasses and leaves.
Paint Makers Notes: Hellebore Purple is a combination of Quinacridone Violet (PV 19), Raw Umber (PBr 7), and Iron Oxide Black (PBk 11).
