Ultramarine Blue is an excellent glazing colour. The warm
Ultra Blue is one of the few mineral colours that is completely transparent. It
is lightfast and has moderate tinting strength. Consider using Alizarin
Permanent instead of Alizarin Crimson to mix violets. Ultramarine is the standard warm blue, a brilliant blue
pigment with the most purple and least green undertones. It has moderate to
high tinting strength and beautiful transparency. Ultramarine dries slowly in
oil and produces clean, though granular, washes in watercolour. Ultramarine is the standard warm blue, a brilliant blue
pigment with the most purple and least green undertones. It has moderate to
high tinting strength and beautiful transparency. Synthetic Ultramarine is not as vivid a blue as natural
Ultramarine. Ultramarine dries slowly in oil and produces clean, though
granular, washes in watercolour. French Ultramarine mixes well with Alizarin colours in oil
and watercolour form to create a range of purples and violets. It can dull when
mixed with white in acrylic form but mixes well with other colours. The shade
varies based on the manufacturer. Considered a great colour for glazes, it is
not suitable for frescoing. Ultramarine has excellent permanence, although synthetic
Ultramarine is less permanent than natural Ultramarine. Because of its sulfuric
content, it may discolour if exposed to acid. Ultramarine has no significant hazards. The name for this pigment comes from the Middle Latin ultra,
meaning beyond, and mare, meaning sea, because it was imported from Asia to
Europe by sea. It is a prominent component of lapis lazuli and was used on
Asian temples starting in the 6th century. It was one of the most expensive pigments in 16th-century
Europe, worth twice its weight in gold, so it was used sparingly and when
commissions were larger. Ultramarine is currently imitated by a process invented in
France in 1826 by Jean Baptiste Guimet, making blue affordable to artists and
extending the range of colours on their palettes.Gamblin 1980 Oils - PB29 Ultramarine [Blue]
