Rembrandt Artists' Oil Color, 40ml, Mangenta Blue Phthalo

Rembrandt Paint is always a good choice. Burnt Umber is a real work horse in a landscape weather it be in the toning of the linen, or the day to day color mixing. I like the big tubes in the studio, but occasionally purchase a 40ml tube to take to the field with me.

What can I say, Rembrandt paint is just great. I have used their product for many years now. When I make sky colors I like a lot of variations in it. So depending on the sky (time of day) I use a variety of blues along with the Kings blue we are talking about here. There is a mixture of Rembrandt, Kings Blue, and a bit of Manganese Blue Phth with white of course, that makes a beautiful lower horizon portion of the sky. I can also add Rembrandt Ultramarine blue to move it darker as it goes up into the sky. As a note, a touch of Cad. Orange can help knock down the blue a little in the highest parts of the sky if needed.
