Ivy - no. 136UC

Deep Leaf Green is that satisfying, grounded green that instantly makes everything look more real.

It has depth without turning muddy, and it sits on the paper like it actually belongs there, like leaves, stems, pine needles, and the kind of greenery that has been outside in real weather. It’s rich, calm, and confident, and it gives you that feeling of “okay, now my painting makes sense.”

This is a green you can use for everything: soft background foliage, darker forest pockets, shadows in botanicals, and those little moments where a painting needs structure. It also plays extremely well with other colors. Add yellow and it becomes fresh and springy. Add blue and it deepens into cooler evergreens. Add a warm earth tone and it turns into vintage, natural landscape magic.

It’s one of those colors that makes you feel like you know what you’re doing, even if you’re just winging it (which I personally support).

Lightfastness 6/6 (Excellent)
