DANIEL SMITHOriginal Oil Color Paint, 37ml Tube, Cerulean Blue Chromium, 284300005

Works for what I needed

This color is beautiful. I bought it to use for sparkles of light on top of my ocean waves. It performs perfectly. I recommend this beautiful oil paint. Old Holland is hard to beat.

Quality very good

I love this color. I enjoy painting southwest landscapes and I love this color in the shadows. I haven't seen this color in the new water soluble paints by Daniel Smith, so I am pleased to get this.

I'd been wanting to try Ultramarine deep, it has become hard to find. This one is so dark and rich. Unfortunately, this company is discontinuing their regular oil paints to make water soluble ones. Hopefully they'll make this color

The color just doesn't have that mesmerizing quality that pure Lapis has. There is usually a fair amount of other minerals with pyrite, calcite, and others which tend to gray the color and make it less transparent. Some of those impurities apparently made it into this batch of paint as it just doesn't have the intensity, transparency, and depth that it should have.

I see low ratings from some artists for Daniel Smith's oil paints and do not understand. Daniel Smith paints have some of the most beautiful pigments around. The pearlescent shimmer adds a soft sparkle with a pearlescent effect. It is perfect for light effects of water, windows, snow, gold effects on hair, dew, frost, or shimmer on flowers and leaves, hummingbirds wings, etc. You can create paint effects for race cars, motor cycles, etc. The possibilities are endless. Daniel Smith Paints are rich in color, can be made transparent for easy glazing, used pure from the tube, or thinned with the Daniel Smith medium. The Daniel Smith medium is the same binder as the binder used to make the paint. (This is why it makes the best medium for the paint.) It is a little on the higher side, but just as other good brands of oil paint: "You get what you pay for."

It can be VERY confusing that Amazon lumps in reviews for all the Daniel Smith paint products together, which is why you'll see reviews for lots of different colors, oils, acrylics, and watercolors, all on the same list. For example, I am writing this review for the 37ml Minnesota Pipestone oil paint, but you will see this among reviews for all the other Daniel smith products, too, resulting in a limp 3-star aggregate that doesn't really help.So for what it's worth, this oil paint is GOOD. The pipestone color is a deep rich red, almost an iron oxide red, that is very opaque. It mixes well, but is especially good for when you need a bold, deep red that can overlay the paints beneath it. It's also excellent as a signature paint, since the rich color isn't garish, so signing your paintings with Pipestone oil is attractive and clear.

This copper oil paint has great pigment. Definitely on the thicker side for paint, love the color. Mixes well with darker colors for a more aged look.

It's exactly what I expected.

Ordered alazerin crimson got permanent red.....very unhappy

Pure titanium white (PW6) and no zinc (PW4). Stiff and powerful white. Used less because of exccellent pigment load.

Texture is very smooth, but I don’t know this colour to help my Art wotk.
