Daniel Smith Extra Fine Watercolor Half Pan - Cerulean Blue Chromium

High-quality Daniel Smith extra fine watercolor in half-pan format. The extraordinary fineness of color is achieved by the hand-making process in which 3 or 4 stages of pouring are carried out over several months. High concentration of ground pigments that provide great lightfastness to colors. The range covers an extensive spectrum that goes from historical pigments, natural earth or pigments obtained from minerals extracted in the most diverse corners of the world to quinacridones, based on synthetic pigments.

Beautiful on its own, and especially so when mixed with a transparent pigment, this sky blue inorganic pigment is granular and medium-light in value. Highly permanent and extremely low-staining, Cerulean Blue creates exciting granulation and settling washes. A drop of Cerulean Blue into a damp wash such as Burnt Sienna creates a halo effect around the more dense Cerulean. This is especially effective when Quinacridone Gold or Quinacridone Burnt Orange are used in the moist underpainting. This technique is great for rendering lichen and Spanish Moss. Add Buff Titanium, Undersea Green and touches of Lunar Black – each a DANIEL SMITH exclusive – and the creative fun truly begins! For a misty landscape or that dusky quality on eggplant, grapes and plums, think Cerulean as a mixer.
