Berlin Blau, also known as Prussian blue, is a deep, somewhat desaturated blue. It has no granulation but can at times leave a gritty-looking texture on the paper (not to touch).
Berlin Blau is an ideal blue shade for shadow parts and stormy skies, as well as deepening colors in any mix.
We recommend combining it with Buff Titanium, for an ocean pastel,.
