Prussian Blue, a deep, inky beauty that like Alizarin, is one of those colours some painters find essential.

On its own and in more concentrated mixes, it exhibits a slight bronzy sheen that can be used as a complementary glaze. Its tint power is frightening, so beginners beware!

Inorganic – Prussian Blue was created in Berlin in 1704, and its popularity spread through the early 18th century, one of the first synthetic inorganic pigments.
