COBALT BLUE

Cobalt Blue, an inorganic pigment, it is considered low-staining and therefore ideal for glazing. You can create soft edges and readily mix with Cobalt Blue. It is a lovely primary blue for your palette. Cobalt Blue is considered to be extremely stable and has been used for centuries in Chinese blue and white porcelain since the late eighth or early ninth century.

Cobalt blue was the primary blue pigment used for centuries in Chinese blue and white porcelain, beginning in the late eighth or early ninth century. The first use of Cobalt Blue as a name for paint in English was in 1777 and used in paintings by Turner, Renoir, Monet and the post impressionists.  Maxfield Parish used it  in his landscapes resulting in the alternate name "Parish Blue" for cobalt blue.

    SOUL

    “I am a contemplative artist who has trouble accessing verbal skills. Finding the right words to talk about the amazing things I observe around me can be frustrating. It is much more natural for me to pick up a paintbrush, some embroidery floss or my camera when I wish to share some new discovery. The artwork I create is meant to be enjoyed on whatever level the viewer experiences it and not layered with complex meaning. Feathers, fur, flowers and the incredible variation I find in wildlife not only inspire me, but compel me to share every nuance with you.
