Description

Cobalt Cerulean is our exquisitely hand-crafted watercolor paint made with an extremely concentrated, high-quality single source pigment. Every pan is meticulously hand mulled, filled, and labeled using only pure local honey and all natural gum arabic to achieve an exceptionally concentrated and richly textured pigment. Every paint is single pigment with maximum concentration and no binders, fillers, or extenders.


Cobalt Cerulean is a brilliant, sky-blue watercolor made from a single mineral pigment known for its subtle granulation and cool, airy tone. First developed in the 19th century as a stable alternative to earlier sky blues, Cobalt Cerulean quickly became a favorite among landscape painters for its calm, natural hue and excellent lightfastness. Compared to standard Cobalt Blue, Cerulean is lighter, slightly greener, and more opaque, making it perfect for clear skies, light water reflections, and soft atmospheric transitions. With a creamy texture, vibrant nature, and beautiful diffusion in wet washes, this pigment is a staple in any serious watercolorist's palette.
