Violet is the most rewarding colour on a figure and the one most painters own least of. Essential Violets gives the full ladder from pale lavender to deep purple – enough for a wizard robe, a magic effect and cold shadows on white.

Why does violet look grey on my model?
Because it was lightened with white. Violet has to be highlighted through lighter violets – this set has those steps ready, so the saturation survives all the way to the edges.
Can the shades be used to shade other colours?
Yes, and it is one of their best uses. A dark violet is an excellent shadow under red, blue and on pale skin.
How do I thin these paints?
With water or an Ionic thinner. They are self-hydrating, so they stay workable on the palette far longer than ordinary acrylics – a drop for brush work, roughly 1 : 1 for airbrush.
Is the set better value than single jars?
If you need at least half the shades, yes – the set costs less than the same number of individual jars. If you are missing only two, buy them separately in the Ionic Smart Colors category.
The other sets are in the Ionic sets category.
