About PV19

History

Quinacridones were introduced in the 1950s and gave painters bright, lightfast reds and magentas. PV19 comes in red and violet crystal forms, so tubes range from rose to deep violet.

In mixes

Transparent and clean. With ultramarine it makes clear violets, with yellow it mixes reds and oranges, and it is a common lightfast replacement for alizarin.

Drying speed is typical for linseed oil; tubes ground in safflower or poppy oil, or with driers added, will differ. These are general notes on the pigment, not on any one brand.
