Manufacturer Description

From Daniel Smith:
A powerful blue with a slightly red undertone, this popular pigment is valued for its strength and economy – just a daub of paint can color a whole sky. A dash of blue gives a full range of value. Mix dark colors for shading and shadows by combining Phthalo Blue with Quinacridone Rose. Use Phthalo Blue’s transparent quality to create containers and water around stems.
