Description
This watercolour is made with cobalt blue and turquoise light half pans. The pigment is classified as an oxide of nickel and titanium, and has a color index of PG50. The pigment is lightfast and according to ASTM, it is classified as a category 1 and 2 pigment. The opacity/transparency of the paint is opaque.
One of the unique characteristics of these watercolours is the unparalleled colour strength (maximum pigmentation). And while this high colour strength requires a slightly different approach on the part of the aquarellist (so little paint is needed from the tube or cup for the desired colour effect that you have to get used to the ratio of paint to diluent), the advantages are clear.
