An extraordinarily beautiful color for painting turquoise blue skies, a must-have for sunny Mediterranean skies and tropical seas! Mixing with this pigment helps make bright shadows – also use it to render the desired patina on a copper pot. As an inorganic pigment, it is considered non-staining (or low-tinting) and ideal for glazing methods. Cobalt Teal Blue’s ability to create soft edges, to lift and to mix readily make it a valuable contribution to watercolor palettes.
Starting with 10 parts water to 1 part paint (by weight) in the palette, our chemist paints the top half of the swatch uniformly with a round brush to show the paint’s color and characteristics. For the bottom half, he dips a ¾” flat brush into the paint well just once, then applies the color in stripes until the brush is dry, which shows the color’s tone and behavior through a wash. We use these swatches for color matching during the manufacturing process.
