Cobalt Blue

Question: Is there an alternative for cobalt?

I just started entering in watercolor and I have a beginner's kit includes phthalo, ultlramarine, SAP for its green and viridian green and blues. The beginner book I always called Cobalt Blue, make a gray wash, with other warm colors. I have with phthalo blue and it seems too bright. I'm not always the correct value, or just in the wrong family of cobalt blue as a replacement? Thx guys:) This helps ... all my "storm" came from blue seas ... hopefully I can in the right direction, now the head:) Should I still mix indigo / ultramarine with so raw or something like Burnt Sienna? How would I wash my best to achieve a gray?

Answer: Hi: Winsor and Newton has phthalo (They call it Blue Winsor) in green and red tones. You could try the ultramarine - I think that is a little darker, and it could also dry up the grainy side. W and N also makes the medium to watercolor granularity - what is a nice effect. Some colors are more transparent than others - I think Ultramarine is more transparent, but a color like yellow ocher is opaque. To maybe boring in on the blue phthalo, try an orange color helps Maybe. You can Gray will receive a prepared gray color of "Payne's" and there is a watercolor called "neutral tone." Check out Jerry's Artarama and his Watercolor section. There are online approximations of the colors that could help spare you a good one. There is also an excellent online artist community, wetcanvas, With more than 99,000 worldwide members. Basic membership is free, and it is a watercolor forum and there may be more artists, mostly with watercolors that may be in a position to help you with some real. Hope this helps!
