Cerulean Blue Chromium - Daniel Smith Extra Fine Watercolor Cerulean Blue Chromium works best when mixed with a transparent pigment. This sky blue inorganic pigment is granular and medium-light in value. Highly permanent and extremely low-staining, Cerulean Blue Chromium creates exciting granulation and settling washes. A drop of Cerulean Blue Chromium into a damp wash such as Burnt Sienna creates a halo effect around the more dense Cerulean. This is especially effective when Quinacridone Gold or Quinacridone Burnt Orange are used in the moist underpainting. This technique is great for rendering lichen and Spanish Moss. Add Buff Titanium, Undersea Green and touches of Lunar Black, each Daniel Smith exclusives, and the creative fun truly begins. For a misty landscape or that dusky quality on eggplant, grapes and plums, try Cerulean.

This is a granulating color, meaning a grainy visual texture is created when the pigment particles settle and clump together rather than settling evenly on the painted surface. Granulation is more pronounced on textured papers.
