[Aquanet] Ode to Cerulean

[miriam]

I go through many tubes of Cerulean on a regular basis!

I love its granulating properties. Perfect at the apex of skies, 

mixes beautifully for grays and I also use it 
along with Cad. red & yell. for caucasian flesh tones
(learned from Charles Reid)

I also love it in blond hair.

It is the perfect blue for the "gray" on white shirts in sunlight.
Especially with a little yellow ochre bounced into it.

It is also an essential ingredient in my indispensible "Morris Black"
In a Judy Morris book she gives a recipe for mixing a black with green, red, sepia and cerulean. The cerulean gives it a wonderful opacity.

Cerulean is also the magic color to paint over anything that isn't working in a painting.
I think i learned that from Cia here on this discussion group.

Hi Pat,

I still have this (Winsor and Newton) in my palette though I use it
 less and
less, I found it did not flow as smoothly as other colours. I too
 mainly use
it for rocks and producing some beautiful greys. I will also use it in
 some
skies but not often.

Hi, gang.

Since we've been discussing colours that may or may not be chalky, that
 
brings up the topic of a pigment everyone seems to have- cerulean blue.
 
I have it, purchased years ago because my instructor at the time said
 we 
needed it... and it has languished in my box ever since. Do any of you 
use cerulean blue on a regular basis... and if so, for what?

:-?
Pat
