Caput Mortuum: my portrait secret weapon! 8 brands comparison, mixes, example sketch

Hello friends!
I’m Elisabetta, an Italian watercolor artist with a passion and a curiosity for art supplies and pigments.
Today we are swatching and comparing 8 different watercolor brands of Caput Mortuum (also known as Mars Violet, or Violet Iron Oxide): Winsor & Newton, Lukas, Sennelier, R. Szmal, Della Magna, Turner, Davinci and White Nights.
Caput Mortuum is a soft dark mauve, very opaque. It is made with PR101, and it is ideal in landscapes and portraits.

I love it! But I do not know if there are big differences across brands....let's find out!


Come swatch with me! And comment please!
