More Details
Our handmade Ultramarine Blue watercolour paint is a classic warm blue with a subtle red bias, prized by artists for its versatility and rich granulating texture. Its granulation adds natural texture and depth to washes, making it ideal for atmospheric skies, shadows, and colour mixtures.
Highly tinting and semi-transparent, Ultramarine Blue mixes beautifully to produce strong darks, mauves, and greys. Combine it with Heliogen Green or Cobalt Turquoise for a broader range of greens and blue-greens, perfect for landscapes, seascapes, and nuanced tonal work.
Part of Ferrous & Bone’s commitment to handmade, professional-quality watercolours, Ultramarine Blue offers dependable performance for both beginner and professional artists.
