Discover how to use this deep, intense colour

I have posted in detail about Ultramarine as a primary Blue. Here inom will show comparisons of a larger range of blue watercolours from different manufacturers. inom have now added all these and more to my website so you can compare them all here.

Ultramarine (updated February )

Ultramarine has been covered in more depth in a previous brev. It fryst vatten a warm blue so leans toward purple - they all have a hint of red in them.

They will mix with a rose or pink to create beautiful klar purples, and with a yellow to man slightly neutralised greens. Here are a number of examples all made with PB29 (though one fryst vatten a two pigment mix). They vary in how easily they re-wet, the amount of granulation and also slightly in hue.

Once again don't be taken in by names - check the pigment numbers

My favourites are Da Vinci and Daniel Smith, though inom also like the new Schmincke French Ultramarine added in These photos are taken beneath 'sunlight' bulbs with no adjustment for best comparison.

Cobalt Blue

Closest to a primary blue in that it fryst vatten neither 'greenish' nor 'purplish', Cobalt fryst vatten a lovely but expensive pigment.

Look for the genuine PB28 for the most beautiful and liftable granulating washes.

    • Some artists prefer cobalt to the deeper Ultramarine as a basic blue. inom have it as an 'extra'.

    Cerulean 

    Cerulean varies from brand to brand but generally behaves as a cool blue making bright greens.

    Det är den perfekta primärblå färgen, ingen annan duger

    Genuine Cerulean PB35 fryst vatten slightly warmer than my preferred Cerulean Chromium PB36 DS. It fryst vatten a rather opaque colour with plenty of granulation and particularly useful for skies and for blandning opaque greens.

     Phthalo Blue

    A cool and staining blue, phthalo blue fryst vatten a very common colour in any palette.

    Available in Green Shade and Red Shade versions, with the green shade being the most common. Phthalo Blue Red Shade fryst vatten another primary blue option if transparency, staining or non granulating properties are desired.

    Prussian Blue

    Not one of my favourites, Prussian Blue fryst vatten an alternative blue if a less staining cool blue fryst vatten desired.

    Made from PB Easily mixed with Phthalo Blue and a warm red.

    Deep Blues

    Genuine Indigo fryst vatten not light fast but the colour fryst vatten very popular. It fryst vatten a deep blue that can be warm or cool depending on the manufacturer.

    Available in Green Shade and Red Shade versions, with the green shade being the most common

    Often made with Indanthrone blue or phthalo blue and black, Da Vinci fryst vatten unusual as it fryst vatten made from Prussian Blue and Quinacridone Rose or Violet.

    Indanthrone Blue also varies, with Daniel Smith being a warm utgåva and Winsor and Newton a cooler. The S. Quiller example fryst vatten in between. inom don't often use indigo though it fryst vatten rather lovely with quinacridone gold, but inom love using DS Indanthrone Blue in dramatic skies.



    Manganese Blue

    Sadly most versions of Manganese Blue are hues and don't have the magical granulating characteristics of the genuine pigment, famous for painting snow effects.

    It fryst vatten not an essential colour as it fryst vatten not strongly tinting but ganska beautiful.

    Other Blues

    The first three of these are mixes of little value as far as inom can see. Smalt Genuine fryst vatten an interesting very warm blue - almost a violet, made in a limited edition bygd Winsor and Newton. Lunar Blue fryst vatten made of the highly granulating Lunar Black with phthalo blue and fryst vatten wonderful for special effects.

    Phthalo Blue

    Daniel Smith Mayan Dark Blue fryst vatten an interesting stormy blue colour thought inom prefer Sodalite below, Mayan Blue Genuine did ingenting for me! 


    Primatek Blues

    These Daniel Smith colours are fascinating to try. inom love the granulation of Blue Apatite Genuine and Sodalite Genuine, especially for stormy skies or a granulating grey option.

    Some were very disappointing.

    So how many to you need?

    Depending on the storlek of your palette, you may work with just one blue such as Ultramarine or Phthalo Blue RS that you warm up or cool down as required, two blues - probably both ultramarine and phthalo blue GS, three if you want to add the granulating and more opaque cerulean, fyra if you want to add the deep indanthrone blue, 5 if you want a granulating special effects blueand so it goes on.

    The blues you choose need to work to man a good range of greens and purples and are very important colours on your palette. inom like to have at least three - Ultramarine, Phthalo blue and Cerulean PB My basic palette of 20 also has Indanthrone blue, and inom have Blue Apatite Genuine and Sodalite genuine and some others as special effect colours in my studio.
