Ultramarine Blue, historically derived from lapis lazuli, is a pigment with a rich history. Used since the Middle Ages for illuminated manuscripts and frescoes, its cost decreased with the synthesis of artificial ultramarine in the 19th century. In watercolor, ultramarine blue stands out for its depth and transparency. It offers a vibrant intensity ideal for depicting clear skies, cool shadows, and seascapes. Its excellent permanence ensures that your works will stand the test of time.
For natural greens, combine it with Yellow Ochre or Saffron Yellow to create foliage. For deep purples, mix it with Isaro Rose or Magenta. For atmospheric greys, blend it with Van Dyck Brown or Burnt Umber.
Ultramarine Blue is also perfect for subtle gradients and glazes. It’s a versatile pigment that deserves a central place in any watercolorist's palette.
