Schmincke Horadam Aquarell Watercolour Paint 5ml - S4 - Cobalt Blue Deep

Immerse your artwork in the timeless depth of Schmincke Horadam Aquarell Watercolour Paint - Cobalt Blue Deep (Colour No. 488, Series 4). This rich, reddish-toned blue evokes the serenity of distant horizons and twilight skies, offering artists a granulating, highly lightfast pigment that combines tradition with modern brilliance.

Formulated with Cobalt Zinc Silicium Oxide and Spinel (PB74, PB28), this semi-transparent deep blue delivers exceptional texture and character. Its tone and chemistry closely resemble the historic Smalts Blue of the late Middle Ages, prized for its enduring luminosity and velvety depth. Ideal for skies, shadows, and atmospheric glazing, it creates natural transitions and subtle contrasts that breathe life into landscapes and seascapes.

Each Horadam Aquarell paint is crafted with pure Kordofan Gum Arabic from the southern Sahara, carefully tested and selected to ensure superior resolubility, flow control, and consistent reactivation. Whether applied directly or rewet from a palette, it maintains smooth handling and outstanding brilliance.

With over 150 professional colours available in 5ml, 15ml, Half Pan, and Full Pan (sold separately) and 95 single-pigment hues for clean, predictable mixing, Schmincke Horadam Aquarell represents the finest standard in artist-grade watercolours.

Cobalt Blue Deep (Series 4) is a semi-transparent, granulating deep blue with excellent lightfastness and a warm undertone, perfect for painting skies, horizons, and expressive atmospheric effects with historical richness and modern precision.
