Comparison of Cerulean Blue PB35 - PB36 and Cobalt free hues: a new chapter of Cobalts exploration.

Hello friends!
I’m Elisabetta, an Italian watercolor artist with a passion and a curiosity for art supplies and pigments.
Today I am continuing the exploration of the cobalt watercolor family with Cerulean Blue, including paints that use PB35, PB36 or Cobalt free hues.
I will be swatching and comparing paints by Daniel Smith, Rosa Gallery, Winsor and Newton, Maimeri, M.Graham, Van Gogh and others.
I will also try, as usual, some mixes!

You are one of the very few that take
A. Gallo Colours in consideration.
That is a great help! Lucky you living in an extremely beautiful country.

[@WatercolorElisabetta]

Thank you, Italy is very beautiful indeed, but our children often have to live faraway to study and get a job 🥹that is sometimes heartbreaking

[@awatercolourist]

From these swatches, the M Graham Cerulean Blue Deep is just mesmerising! I think the greens are the most beautiful mixes. They are natural looking without being subdued.

[@WatercolorElisabetta]

Thank you for your comment! I agree with you that M. Graham is incredible. If only it wasn’t this expensive here…🥹

[@Horsewoman-pt2ku]

Beautiful color. I am in Colorado and our skies are this color - very light and graduate to white at the bottom

[@WatercolorElisabetta]

Mmmhhh I imagine Colorado as a wonderful region…isn’t Aspen in Colorado? You now are making me willing to travel by evoking your skies! Thank you for this beautiful image now planted in my mind 😃

[@anjaanja7684]

Sounds stunning!!

[@morrisonwatercolors]

I agree that Winsor & Newton is the benchmark for Cerulean blue. I have tried some others but I keep coming back to their formulation. It’s a classic!

[@WatercolorElisabetta]

Morrison isn’t it true!? A great classic! You can’t go wrong. Thank you!

[@everartokelli]

Agree that the WNP Cerulean is gorgeous with great granulation, I love it. But I do use the DS Cerulean Chromium the most, it seems more versatile. The M Graham Cerulean (not the deep version) is very bright and has no granulation so not my favorite, but that MG Cerulean Deep looks beautiful. The Maimeri version looks very interesting too, I haven't tried that brand before. Thanks for comparing these paints, very helpful!

[@WatercolorElisabetta]

Thank you so much Everart. I would never give up my WNP cerulean but yes, the MG deep could be a great addition. I don’t know where you live, but Maimeri here is easily available. I like it as a brand although I only have some tubes, I am slowly discovering it. Thank you very much for your kind comment!

[@martinanelsonartandpsychol6478]

Thank you for this video. I love Ceruleans and Cobalts. I would like to try the M.Graham Cerrulean. It is very interesting. Maybe not for the sky. But there are enough other possibilities 😊

[@WatercolorElisabetta]

I was really impressed by M. Graham as well. The small cobalt set by them is amazing! Thank you for your comment Martina!

[@awatercolourist]

Van Gogh has a very nice Cobalt Blue Ultramarine. It’s a very good and dynamic blue. It’s a pity they could not do the same for cerulean.

[@WatercolorElisabetta]

I found it nice when I used it on its own. But then when you see it with other true Ceruleans ….it looks a bit different! Thank you! I don’t know their cobalt blue!

[@Worldfriends218]

Hi there is Acrylic Marian Blue Paint = Is it the same as Ultramarine Blue Paint

[@WatercolorElisabetta]

Hi! I’m not an expert in Acrylic paint but I think Marian Blue is more Lapis lazuli!

[@awatercolourist]

First!

[@WatercolorElisabetta]

👌

[@michemman]

Very close, Elisabetta. Von GHoff is how the Dutch and Germans say his name!
Does your son come back to Northern Italy to see you?
Love Eliza
Australia xx

[@WatercolorElisabetta]

Yes he does! But as he’s doing his master it’s difficult to take a week off until Christmas. I think we will go in early November. He stayed over one month in the summer! Thank you for asking ❤️❤️

[@michemman]

@@WatercolorElisabetta Just another quick question about the Rosa gallery, does it have honey, eg sticky or tacky?

[@WatercolorElisabetta]

Not the pans, not at all. Tubes I have to try them more. They don’t have honey, but tubes might take a while to dry in a pan. They are soft.

[@michemman]

@@WatercolorElisabetta Danke vell xx

[@WatercolorElisabetta]

Exactly! The only Dutch I know 😂
