MATISSE STR 75ML Alpine Green S2

Name: Alpine Green

Pigment tier: Series 2

Available size: 75ml

Application and colour-mixing technique from Matisse:

While folk art colours waned in popularity, Alpine Green endured due to its versatility in landscape painting. A cleaner alternative to Australian Olive Green, Alpine Green can easily be subdued by mixing with Raw Sienna. The colour's adaptability extends to replacing Australian Sap Green, where adding a touch of Primary Yellow transforms it into the desired hue.

Alpine Green proves instrumental in crafting an array of greens. Blending it with Transparent Red Oxide or Raw Umber yields a Hooker's Green, while Raw Sienna or Yellow Oxide produces mid forest green tones. Using Yellow Deep creates golden greens reminiscent of morning sunlight on leaves, while Primary Yellow or Cadmium Yellow Medium results in vibrant hues suitable for sunlit foliage and freshly mowed lawns.
