Ultramarine Blue is a single pigment paint, transparent, deep blue, with moderate tinting strength. It has a reddish undertone making it a wonderful choice for making purples. Ultramarine Blue is probably the most versatile blue and therefore a classic colour for your encaustic palette. The word ultramarine means andldquo;over the seaandrdquo;. In ancient times, ultramarine was made from lazuli otherwise known as the mineral lazurite. Obtaining ultramarine from lazurite was so costly that it has been artificially manufactured since the early 1800andrsquo;s. Ultramarine Blue is featured in our Introductory Hot Cakesandreg; Set, our Classic Painter's Choice Hot Cakesandreg; Set, our Academy Hot Cakesandreg; Set and our Primaries Hot Sticksandreg; Set. Ultramarine Blue is also featured in our Linda Robertson Mixed Media Wax Snapsandreg; Set.
