Capture Brilliant Blue Skies With Rich Ultramarine Blue
SoHo Urban Artist Handmade Soft Pastel Block in Ultramarine Blue delivers rich fully pigmented color with an exceptionally soft velvety feel. Its wide block shape makes it easy to cover more surface than a traditional slim pastel, whether you are toning paper, building broad areas of color, or creating expressive painterly marks. The fine smooth consistency allows dense color to go down with very little pressure.
Handcrafted for artists who enjoy layering and blending, this soft pastel works beautifully for everything from broad strokes to intense blue accents and smooth color transitions. The rich blue tone of Ultramarine Blue is especially useful for creating dramatic skies, deep ocean scenes, and atmospheric mountain landscapes. Its distinctive violet-blue character also works well for capturing twilight horizons, adding cool shadows to landscape compositions, and creating striking contrast against warm oranges and golden yellows. Ultramarine Blue blends beautifully with lighter blues, deep violets, and soft grays for smooth transitions between illuminated areas and shaded scenery. Each block is individually handmade, so slight variations in size and shape are part of its unique character. The pastel measures approximately 0.56" x 1.3" x 1.53" and comes in a protective foam-padded box for convenient storage and easy access.
