DANIEL SMITH Watercolour Stick - 12mL - Ultramarine Blue (PB29)

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.

These are the stick version of DANIEL SMITH Extra Fine Watercolour paint. This stick format can be used directly on the page for drawing or can be rewetted with a paint brush for painting. The pigment load is higher than than the tube paint and makes the sticks a very cost effective way to try these artist quality paints.

Each stick is approximately 75mm long and is wrapped in a label with pigment information.

Store away from humidity, especially if you plan to draw with the stick, as humid environments can cause the stick to soften.

Supplied as loose stock.
