In this comparison we will see which WATERCOLOR BLUES to choose. ABOUT THIS VIDEO ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ Which Blues to choose for watercolor? This is what we will see in this video. Cerulean Blue: A superb mixing color, versatile component of any palette. Useful for skies and the sea, also gives magnificent shadows when mixed. Cerulean Blue Chrome: Useful for painting at night. beautiful color straight out of the tube, permanent and non-staining. Can be mixed with burnt sienna and quinacridone gold or a burnt orange quinacridone. Can be used in undercoats in wet technique or in layers. Mayan Blue: Mayan Blue is a PrimaTek color from the Daniel Smith brand. This beautiful green-tinted indigo is quite special. Long ago, it adorned the murals and sculptures of the Mayan people and featured in their rites and rituals. Despite exposure to extreme heat and humidity, the color has barely faded in a thousand years. Now, using methods derived from ancient Mayan chemistry, this metal-free pigment has been recreated using an environmentally friendly process. Blockx Primary Blue: Blockx watercolor blue is a deep, intense mixing blue with great luminosity and excellent transparency. It is similar to phthalo blue but some say it is more versatile. It is made from high quality pigments, carefully selected for their purity and lightfastness. Cobalt Blue: Excellent BLUE both pure and mixed. I made a video on the subject where I explain how to mix it. This neutral, non-staining primary blue will subtly alter most pigments. Considered a mixing pigment, its semi-transparent nature can cast a giant reticulating shadow. An inorganic pigment, it is considered non-staining (or low-tinting) and ideal for glazing techniques. It is a must-have pigment, it is worth around 20 euros. Cobalt Teal Blue: Semi-transparent, non-staining, granulating. A color for painting turquoise skies, essential for sunny Mediterranean skies and tropical seas. Mixing with this pigment helps create luminous shadows. Lavender Blue: Daniel Smith Lavender Blue is a semi-transparent blue that is quite different from other blues. Its color suggests faded jeans. Good lightfastness and granulating. Manganese Blue: This turquoise blue has a fairly fresh look. It is a medium-toned transparent pigment with granulating properties. A good substitute for Cerulean Blue, Manganese Blue has the added benefit of mixing well with non-staining semi-opaques to create a marbled texture in the underlying colors. True Manganese Blue, which was discontinued from product lines due to environmental concerns, has been replaced with a formulation that closely resembles it. The result is a lightfast pigment with virtually the same color. Phthalo Blue (Green Shade): For clean shadows and reflected light on windows. Phthalo Blue is transparent and intense but difficult to remove from paper. Mix with Hansa Yellow for bright greens, or earth tones. Lunar Blue: A beautiful color that removes well from paper. It granulates and can be used to great effect. Indigo Blue: A dark transparent blue but with high coverage and therefore economical. Blueberries, blackberries and plums are some subjects to play with using this technique. Use Indigo also to create dusty purples and can be suitable for contrasting reflections in water. Also used to suggest moody, expressive skies. Historically, indigo has been used since early Egypt and has been a very important blue dye in fabrics.
