Pistachio

Pistachio 🌿

Pigments: Py43, Pbr7, pG18, PBk7

semi-transparent with granulation  

Soft, earthy, and wonderfully fresh, Pistachio is a beautifully balanced olive green inspired by the gentle colours of new foliage, sunlit herbs, and the silvery leaves of Mediterranean gardens. This handcrafted professional watercolour offers a harmonious blend of warm and cool undertones, making it an exceptionally versatile green for every season.

With its semi-transparent nature and beautiful granulating texture, Pistachio creates expressive washes filled with natural movement and depth. As the pigments settle across the paper, delicate variations emerge, bringing landscapes, botanicals, and woodland scenes to life with an organic, painterly quality.

Pistachio is equally at home in loose floral paintings, lush garden studies, rolling hills, and weathered foliage. It mixes beautifully with earth tones, blues, and warm yellows, creating an endless range of natural greens while maintaining its soft, understated elegance.
