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.

Good watercolor for good price

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.

Beautiful 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.

Needed fast delivery to use in a workshop. Delivered as promised.

I love Peacock Blue! It goes on smoothly and the color is amazing. A combo of blue and a tiny bit of turquoise. I used it for dragon wings in a watercolor. Will buy again.

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!!!
