Lunar Blue – Professional Handmade Watercolour Swatch Painted on: Saunders Waterford, White, Rough, 100% Cotton, Mould Made, Acid Free, 300 gsm Watercolour Paper Click here to read about how we make our Finest Professional Watercolours --- Description Lunar Blue is a captivating watercolour that combines deep, inky **Black Iron Oxide** (P.Bk 11) with a cool, intense **Copper Phthalocyanine Blue** (P.B 15:3) to create a striking, granulating pigment with a cosmic, otherworldly feel. This stunning hue, identified by its dark, stormy blue-black tone, granulates beautifully on the paper, producing mesmerizing textures reminiscent of starry night skies, ocean depths, and dramatic rocky landscapes. The **heavy granulation** of Lunar Blue is what sets it apart. The black particles (P.Bk 11) settle into the paper’s texture, while the vibrant Copper Phthalocyanine Blue (P.B 15:3) creates smooth, vivid washes on top.

This results in dynamic effects that evoke a sense of depth and movement—perfect for painting atmospheric skies, stormy seascapes, or abstract textures. When used in full strength, Lunar Blue provides a bold, dark blue-black with intense granulation, while lighter washes allow the blue to separate, creating ethereal, smoky patterns that captivate the viewer. Thanks to its **excellent lightfastness**, Lunar Blue’s tonal shifts and granulated effects remain stable over time, ensuring your artwork retains its dramatic and striking quality.

It mixes beautifully with other colours, adding rich contrast and texture to landscapes, night scenes, or abstract works. Artists looking to experiment with textural effects and atmospheric hues will find Lunar Blue an indispensable addition to their palette. --- We Recommend Using distilled water with all our watercolours to keep each pigment in its purest form.
