Description:

Phthalocyanine Blue (Red Shade) P.B. 15:1 is a vibrant, intense blue watercolour pigment with a subtle warmth, leaning slightly toward red compared to other blues. Known for its incredible strength and brilliance, this pigment delivers a deep, bold blue that’s perfect for capturing the intensity of skies, oceans, and other vibrant elements in a painting. Its rich tone is ideal for creating striking contrasts and adding depth to both abstract and realistic works.

Highly transparent, Phthalocyanine Blue (Red Shade) allows for luminous washes and smooth glazing techniques, offering crisp, clear colour even in thin layers. In its full strength, it appears as a deep, saturated blue, while when diluted, it softens into lighter, brighter blues with a slight warmth, perfect for atmospheric effects and delicate transitions. This pigment is also renowned for its staining properties, which means it binds strongly to the paper and retains its intensity.

Phthalocyanine Blue (Red Shade) has excellent lightfastness, ensuring that its brilliant colour remains vibrant over time. It mixes beautifully with other colours, producing vibrant greens when combined with yellows or deep purples and muted tones when mixed with reds or earth tones. This pigment is ideal for artists who want a versatile, strong blue that offers both intensity and subtle warmth in their watercolour palette.

Excellent product

I bought this paint with yellow ochre to try out and am really happy with both, they are rich in pigment very creamy and sheer out beautifully. I loved them some much I bought 6 more colours last week. They are arrived in super quick time too. Impressive

Great watercolour

Great colour, exactly what I would expect

True blue

...baby, I love you! A vibrant, strong Spring-like blue which works well for eyes, sky and adding shadows too... love it. I really like all the colours in the range but favour some and this is one of them.
The quality is clear from the small amount I have tried so far - the paints are very bright and when they dry you can see strength and vibrancy that you don't get in other brands or from using pan colours in boxes. Well done Jackman's! Really pleased with the results x
