Description:

Ultramarine Blue (Green Shade) is a deep, cool-toned watercolour pigment with a rich blue hue that leans subtly toward green. This variation of the classic ultramarine blue brings a cooler, more intense colour to the palette, perfect for capturing clear skies, ocean depths, and lush landscapes. Its vibrant yet natural tone offers a sense of clarity and brightness, ideal for creating crisp, fresh compositions with a touch of atmospheric depth.

Ultramarine Blue (Green Shade) is semi-opaque, providing smooth, even washes with excellent layering potential. When applied at full strength, it delivers a deep, rich blue, and when diluted, it softens into lighter, cooler blues, perfect for rendering skies, water reflections, or soft backgrounds. This pigment also features a slight granulation, adding texture and complexity to washes, giving depth and dimension to painted areas.

Known for its excellent lightfastness, Ultramarine Blue (Green Shade) maintains its cool, vibrant tones over time. It mixes well with other pigments, creating clean greens when combined with yellows or deepened shadows when mixed with darker blues and earth tones. This versatile pigment is a favourite among artists for its ability to add bold, cool blues to landscapes, seascapes, and abstract works, while also offering the flexibility for subtle blending and tonal variation.
