Product Details
Brand: A J Ludlow
Volume: 15 ml
Product of Origin: United Kingdom
Colour Name: Azomethine Green

Azomethine Green is just one of the bright and exquisite Professional Watercolours from A J Ludlow. Being based on a single pigment with excellent permanence and light fastness, ensures that this watercolour’s properties are exceptional. As with all our fine-art materials, Azomethine Green watercolour is lovingly handmade in the UK by a skilled artisan from the best ingredients and finest pigments.

Azomethine Green professional quality watercolour is supplied in a 15ml glass jar, because:

  • The watercolour’s wet mass tone can be seen through the walls of the jar;
  • The colour can be easily transferred from the jar to the palette with a palette knife.

But more importantly, there is no need for unnecessary additives or formulation changes to make processing in our colour manufacturing workshop easier, allowing the Azomethine Green watercolour made by A J Ludlow, to be at the highest pigment concentration and the pigment’s unique properties to be uncompromised. Anything less would be at odds with the brilliance and performance demanded of a professional quality watercolour range.

This Professional Watercolour is prepared using a synthetic organo-metallic pigment, based on a azomethine copper complex. The pigment has been selected for its purity, high tinctorial strength, semi-transparency, exceptional light fastness and very attractive, yellow-shade green colour. It therefore affords a semi-transparent watercolour (as can be seen in the figure 1a below).

The Azomethine Green watercolour does not lift out completely (as can be seen in figure 1b above) and so has a propensity to stain the watercolour paper.

This watercolour has a structured consistency, but is easily transferred from the jar to the watercolour palette using a clean spatula or palette knife. As with all the Professional Watercolours from A J Ludlow, once water is added, this watercolour has excellent flow and is a joy to paint with.

In the A J Ludlow Azomethine Green Professional Watercolour, the pigment is pure and the tinctorial strength is very strong and so is best used sparingly when initially mixing with other colours.
