FINALLY.......someone who understands BLUE!!!
A couple of years ago I was introduced to the idea that ultramarine blue is a warmer blue and phthalo blue is cooler. If you're not an artist, you're probably thinking that they both have to be cool colors, or you're thinking, "What does it matter?". I was very confused because not only was I taught in college that ultramarine was cooler, but I observe it when I compare the two side by side.
Today I happened to read an article from Brush Buzz, which comes to me via e-mail six days a week. I'm including a link to the original blog by Sharon Hicks. Her theory makes complete sense to me and restores my faith in my old friend Dr. Joseph Adams, now deceased, who I learned so much from while at CMSU. If you happen to be an artist, ( and we all are in some capacity), then you might fine it interesting.
