Pigment Description
Inspired by the work of landscape painter Stephen Quiller this deep violet shade is meant for creating contrasting passages of shadow with light yellows. Quiller Violet is composed of Phthalo Blue (Red Shade) and Dioxane Violet. It is nearly black in mass tone, with a very deep, blue undertone. Use as a mixing compliment for yellows to readily achieve neutral colours for mid-tones in landscape painting.

I have been using Tri-Art Napthol Red for a few weeks and find that it compares with Golden and Liquites Acrylics and is more inexpensive.
Beautiful for textured work
It’s a great highlight colour. Bright and covers well. When I need a hit of sunlight, CAD Orange is it.
I have so far used it just for toning my canvas and it works really well with a small amount of paint.
I have used Tri-art before in the limited quantities and colours at my local Art Supply Store and found hem to be as good as Golden Paints which I have used for several years. In fact, I was one of the first buyers of Golden in New York when the founder Harry sold them out of his trunk in Soho and then at a few Art Supply Stores. Now living in Canada, the price differential has been a factor for me looking for a less expensive substitute. So far the colour I have bought closely match the characteristics of Golden; the opacity and brilliance seems the same. The Cadmium Red Medium from Sri- Art is both brighter and as opaque as the Golden. I still have some paint in a 16Oz. Jar from Golden and have tested next to the Tri-Art. I like the results.
