About this colour
Cerulean Blue is the quintessential sky blue - a clear, airy, slightly greenish blue that captures the fresh luminosity of a cloudless midday sky like no other pigment. It is one of the most beautiful and atmospheric colours in the watercolourist's palette.
Its characteristic granulating quality creates natural-looking texture in sky washes, evoking the soft, atmospheric haze of open air. Cerulean is cooler and paler than Cobalt Blue, with a distinct mineral quality that reads as instantly naturalistic. It sits at the lighter, fresher end of the blue family, making it particularly valuable for high-key paintings and sunny outdoor scenes.
Ideal for clean, luminous skies and water. It mixes gently with Burnt Sienna for warm atmospheric greys and with Permanent Green for fresh, slightly hazy foliage tones.
Product features
Highly pigmented & vibrant
Each 15 ml tube delivers exceptional colour intensity - vivid at full strength and at the same time luminous and clear when diluted.
Endless colour possibilities
Intermixes cleanly across the entire range of colours for limitless cool-toned and airy combinations.
Opaque character
A uniquely gentle blue in watercolour - its soft, granulating nature settles beautifully into the texture of the paper, creating natural, atmospheric skies and subtle, misty washes that are difficult to achieve with any other pigment.
Non-toxic formula
Made with non-toxic additives and safe for all ages and working environments.
Artist grade quality
Professional-grade transparency and vibrancy, perfect for professional artists and beginners exploring the medium.
Creamy, soft consistency
Higher glycerine binder than pans and therefore have buttery soft texture that disperses effortlessly in water.
Supreme lightfastness
Highly lightfast pigments rated Excellent which means your artwork stays brilliant for decades.
Perfect for large areas
A tiny squeeze goes a long way. Ideal for smooth, even washes across large sections of a painting.
Why choose tubes?
Watercolour tubes contain more glycerine binder than pans, giving the paint a soft, creamy texture that mixes instantly with water. A small amount from the tube goes a very long way - making tubes ideal for large washes and expressive, generous brushwork.
Leave it to dry - reactivate anytime
Squeeze out what you need and leave the rest on your palette. When the paint dries, simply mist with a little water and it reactivates fully - as workable as when it was first squeezed. No cleaning needed between sessions, and nothing is ever wasted.
Refill your pans
Use tubes to top up empty half- or full-pans in your travel or studio palette. Squeeze into the pan, let the paint cure for a few days, and you have freshly loaded pans ready for use - far more economical than buying replacement pans.
Beautiful pastels with White
Blending Cerulean Blue with White produces the most delicate, airy sky tints imaginable - pale porcelain blues and hazy aquas that are perfect for painting high summer skies, sunlit water, and the soft, luminous tones of open-air florals.
