Watercolor Paint Tubes, Cobalt Blue & Ultramarine Blue, 0.5 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)

This watercolor paint bundle from Daniel Smith contains two 15ml tubes of their extra-fine professional-grade paints: Cobalt Blue and Ultramarine Blue. Both paints are known for their excellent lightfastness and are made with high pigment concentrations using pure gum arabic as a binder, ensuring maximum brilliance.

The Cobalt Blue is a versatile primary mixing blue with a neutral tone that subtly modifies other pigments. It has a semi-transparent staining quality and soft granulating effects, making it well-suited for glazing techniques. In contrast, the Ultramarine Blue is slightly cooler in tone with equal lightfastness but more transparency and staining power, allowing for the creation of vibrant, saturated washes. Its crayon-like mass tone also makes it an excellent choice for mixing dynamic dark neutrals when combined with reds.

Together, these two blues complement each other beautifully. The Cobalt Blue is more neutral and granulating, while the Ultramarine Blue has a more intense staining quality. This duo provides artists with essential mixing versatility and a wide range of pure, intense color options.

Daniel Smith is the leading innovator in artist-quality watercolors, offering the largest range with over 240 colors, including unique mineral and luminescent pigments. Their extra-fine grades are renowned for their unparalleled purity and permanence, making them a favorite among professional and aspiring artists alike.

This watercolor paint bundle is a must-have for any artist seeking to expand their creative palette. The Cobalt Blue and Ultramarine Blue pigments offer a powerful combination of mixing capabilities and pure, vibrant hues, allowing artists to achieve a wide range of artistic expressions in their watercolor paintings.
