Gamblin 1980 Oils - PV19 Quinacridone Violet
Gamblin’s approach is different. 1980 colours contain pure
pigments, the finest refined linseed oil, and marble dust (calcium carbonate).
Since oil painting began, these three ingredients have made more affordable colours.
Painters experience true colours without homogenized texture
or muddy colour mixtures. Gamblin's approach to using traditional raw materials and processes ensures that artists experience the luscious working properties they expect from their oil colours.
Quinacridone Violet: Robert Gamblin loves violets and added
this strong, clean quinacridone violet that is more intense than ultramarine violet
and warmer than Manganese Violet.
Quinacridone Red is a high-performance, transparent pigment
with an average drying time and uneven dispersal.
PIGMENT COMPOSITION AND PERMANENCE
- Pigment Name: PV19 Quinacridone Violet
- Pigment Type: organic synthetic, quinacridone
PROPERTIES
Quinacridone Red is a high-performance, transparent pigment
with an average drying time and uneven dispersal. It is another name for
Quinacridone Violet (PV19) and Quinacridone Red (PR192).
Quinacridone pigments generally have relatively low tinting
strength. For this reason, quinacridone colours are often expensive because
more pigment is required in the formulation.
PERMANENCE
Quinacridone Violet has excellent lightfastness and is
considered the most lightfast organic pigment in this shade range.
TOXICITY
Quinacridone Violet has no known acute hazards. Overexposure
to quinacridone pigments may cause skin irritation. Quinacridone pigments
contain a compound found to be a skin, eye, and respiratory irritant.
HISTORY
Although quinacridone compounds became known in the late
19th century, manufacturing methods to make them practical for use as
commercial pigments began in the 1950s.
Quinacridone pigments were first developed as
coatings for the automotive industry but were quickly adopted by artists.
