ROSE OF ULTRAMARINE

Rose of Ultramarine is a combination of Quinacridone Rose and Ultramarine Blue. Ultramarine Blue settles into the surface while the Rose floats to the top making a complex purple. Daniel Smith's website suggests experimenting with layering Rose of Ultramarine with pure Phthalo Blue for some fun. As a scene stealer, this color works well takin center stage and letting the other pigments settle as supporting actors.
Daniel Smith has included Rose of Ultramarine in their Colors of Inspiration Hand Poured Watercolor Half Pan Set.

“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.
