Description

Cerulean Blue #2, made from pigment P.B. 35, is a classic, cool-toned blue watercolour known for its soft, sky-like character and fresh, airy quality. Often called Cerulean Blue Light, this delicate, pale blue evokes the clarity and stillness of a clear day, making it perfect for painting distant skies, soft atmospheric layers, and calm, reflective waters. Its calming tone is ideal for adding serenity and lightness to landscape and natural scenes.

This pigment is semi-opaque with granulating qualities, producing natural-looking textures in both bold applications and diluted washes. At full strength, Cerulean Blue #2 offers a clear, vibrant blue with excellent coverage. When diluted, it shifts to subtle, translucent blues—ideal for luminous glazes, highlights, and gentle shadows. The organic granulation enhances the appearance of cloud patterns, water reflections, and misty backgrounds.

With AAA lightfastness, Cerulean Blue #2 maintains its crisp colour over time, ensuring lasting brilliance in your finished work. It mixes well with a wide range of colours—creating gentle greens when combined with yellows and soft lavenders with reds—making it a versatile addition to any watercolour palette. This pigment is especially suited for artists looking to capture softness, luminosity, and atmospheric depth in their paintings.
