Starting with Cobalt Blue

April 17, 2024 | 4 Comments

I’m particularly interested in exploring ways of creating layered colour and texture in my work. And so last Friday as I was sipping my coffee, I started with a Cobalt Blue wash.

It’s getting cooler in the morning here in Sydney so this cool undertone just felt right.  Cobalt Blue (PB28) is such a lovely pigment to play with and a great way to start my workday.

    Wow!

    The texture of the tree is so beautiful! And the blues just sparkle!

    Lovely use of pen or black brush pen. Love the cobalt blue shading. What pen or brush pen did you use?

    So nice to see how you used cobalt blue! I had a cobalt blue mishap when trying to get the remaining paint from what I thought was an empty tube: it got all over everything, including hands, brush handles, desk… I rescued as much as I could, making a wash big enough to tone a dozen papers.
