Description:

Cobalt Blue (P.B. 72) is a classic and highly esteemed watercolour pigment known for its intense, vibrant blue hue that strikes a perfect balance between warm and cool tones. This pigment exhibits stunning clarity and depth, reminiscent of a clear sky or deep ocean waters, making it an essential choice for landscape artists and anyone looking to capture the essence of natural blue tones.

Cobalt Blue is semi-transparent, allowing for beautiful glazing and layering effects while maintaining its brilliance. When applied in full strength, it delivers a rich, striking blue, and when diluted, it softens into lighter, airy shades of blue that are ideal for skies, water, and atmospheric effects. The pigment’s smooth application ensures even washes, and its granulation adds an organic texture, enhancing the visual interest in washes and layered compositions.

Renowned for its excellent lightfastness, Cobalt Blue (P.B. 72) retains its vibrant colour over time, ensuring lasting beauty in artworks. It mixes well with other pigments, producing a range of stunning greens when combined with yellows or creating deeper, muted blues when mixed with other cool colours. Cobalt Blue is a versatile and timeless addition to any watercolour palette, perfect for artists looking to achieve both vibrancy and subtlety in their work.

Handmade watercolours

Beautiful pigments including cobalt blue. Excellent quality and great for my wet on wet loose style watercolour paintings and also my more delicate wildlife art. They arrived very quickly by Royal Mail and were packaged well. Thank you Marc.
He came to our art club and gave us a really interesting demonstration about how he makes his watercolours. He’s very clever.

Superb quality

I received along with cobalt blue 20 other Jackman watercolours. I've been using them for the past week and find them excellent quality.Will match any of the other professional watercolours around.
