Holbein Artists Watercolor 15ml Tube (Peacock Blue) W301

A you tube watercolor artist I follow frequently uses Holbein Peacock Blue, but I had so many Daniel Smith blues in my palette I put off getting it. I just tried it out next to Manganese blue and pthalo blue thinking they were similar, and they are, but there are subtle differences. I also tested the Peacock, and it is staining and transparent. It also flows and blends well. I probably could have made do without it, but I am glad I have it anyway and will help give me confidence that I am working with the same colors in the tutorials I follow.

Peacock Blue,very nice color as described.

Love the color of peacock blue! Arrived when said in good condition.

Workshop materials

Perfect. Exactly what I wanted. Color is lovely!

Love the different shades of blue I get with this color

This is one of my staple colors since I paint a lot of seascapes, blue skies and water scenes. This color is the go to color for any artist that paints water. You can mix it dilute it and the color is still rich. With all my paints that I use, this one is always in my arsenal.

Beautiful color!

ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS!!! Signed up for a wet-on-wet watercolor class. My teacher let me have a wee dab of this during our first class... I was hooked! It makes the most brilliant green! LOVE!!!

Holbein is a wonderful product. I teach all levels of watercolor and sell my work, as well. It is pigmented, translucent and lovely to work with. I highly recommend it and will buy more when needed.
