Daniel Smith Extra Fine Watercolor Half Pan Ultramarine Blue
Ultramarine Blue plots cooler and bluer than the more saturated French Ultramarine. Temperature aside, both blues have equal permanence, lightfastness and transparency. Ultramarine Blue is slightly less granular in concentrated washes. For less saturation, sedimentation and cost, use Ultramarine Blue straight, for vibrant crayon-like color or mixed with a cool red for dark, effective neutrals. Ultramarine Blue and French Ultramarine both contain pigment PB29, but Ultramarine has a smaller pigment particle size and is slightly greener and cooler than French Ultramarine, which has a larger pigment particle size and is slightly redder and warmer.
Following in the DANIEL SMITH traditions of manufacturing the finest handcrafted paints and products, DANIEL SMITH Half Pans are hand poured. DANIEL SMITH Half Pans re-wet quickly and easily, perfect for travel, plein air, urban sketching and exploring unique color combinations.
