Description

Cobalt Green Dark is a deep, muted green watercolour pigment with cool, blue undertones. It offers a rich, sophisticated hue that is perfect for capturing the essence of dense forests, shadowed foliage, and tranquil waters. This dark, earthy tone adds depth and mystery to your compositions, making it ideal for creating moody and atmospheric landscapes and botanical subjects.

As a semi-transparent pigment, Cobalt Green Dark allows for smooth, even washes while exhibiting a slight granulating texture that adds a natural, organic feel to your artwork. At full strength, it produces a bold, intense green, while when diluted, it softens into bluish-green shades, making it perfect for layering and building depth. The granulation enhances realism in textures like tree bark, leaves, or distant hills, bringing your landscapes to life.

With excellent lightfastness, Cobalt Green Dark retains its rich, deep hue over time, ensuring your work maintains its depth and beauty for years to come. This pigment mixes well with blues and yellows to create a range of deep, natural greens, or it can be combined with earth tones to produce more subdued, muted palettes. Its versatility makes it a fantastic choice for artists looking to add weight, depth, and atmosphere to their watercolour compositions, especially for nature-inspired and landscape works.

We Recommend

Use distilled water with all our watercolours to maintain the purity of each pigment, ensuring your paintings stay vibrant and true to their form.
