American Journey Artists' Watercolor Stick - Joe's Blue (Phthalo)

American Journey Artists' Watercolor Stick offers artists the finest raw materials and high-quality, maximum-strength pigments available. This guarantees clean, strong colors and makes for a more professional painting.

Each watercolor stick is dipped in a single layer of water-soluble paraffin wax for protection during transit and to protect your hands while working. To remove this thin outer layer of wax, rub the stick surface on a scrap piece of paper, or wash the stick with warm water, similar to removing paraffin wax from an apple. The tip of the watercolor sticks are ready for use out of the box.

Joe's Blue (Phthalo) - Joe's Blue (Phthalo) is a transparent marriage of blue and green with high tinting strength and is excellent for painting tropical water. Joe suggests mixing Joe's Blue with Joe's Yellow to create a clean green color or mix it with Quinacridone Burnt Scarlet to create a rich dark color. Also Joe suggests mixing less of Joe's Blue with more of Joe's Red and it creates a wonderful "wow" dark color or you can take more of Joe's Blue and less of Joe's Red to create a nice cool dark color. Another combination is mixing Joe's Blue with Quinacridone Burnt Orange to create "background mountains" color.
