Afghani Lapis Lazuli, B
Half-Pan
Greenleaf & Blueberry Artisanal Handmade Watercolors
Made in Colorado, USA
Color Name: Lapis Lazuli
Pigment: Genuine Natural Lapis Lazuli from Afghanistan, Grade B
Color Index No.: N/A
Description: A soft warm velvety blue. Moderate particle size and low to moderate tinting strength. A strong tendency towards granulation. The intensity builds with the applications of layers. An entirely different experience from synthetic Ultramarine. Grade B is very similar to our Afghani Lapis Lazuli, but is less high chroma and slightly more muted.
The cost of pure, artist-quality Lapis is very high, and is the reason that this color has such a high price tag. We use the exact same techniques, principles, and care to create this color as we do rest of our color line. We never use any additives or fillers to bulk out a pigment. This is a full Half-Pan of pure, genuine, natural, artist-quality Lapis Lazuli watercolor paint.
We work with standard plastic Full Pans. These are durable and lightweight as well, and fit into most commercial travel watercolor boxes.
Our Full Pans measure: 3cm x 1.9cm x 1cm
Full Pans can be thought of as the portable equivalent to a tube of watercolor paint. They are twice the size of a Half-Pan and hold a whole lot of color. This size is a great choice for artists who enjoy working large. Not only does this size pan hold more paint, it also has a greater surface area which can accommodate much larger brushes. This size is also a wonderful way to carry your favorite colors. If you have used up a Half-Pan and wish to replenish a palette staple, a Full Pan can be a nice next-step. Palettes of Full Pans also make excellent flexible studio palettes; they are large enough to be used in a home studio or table-top set-up while allowing you to close up the set and take it on the road.

Please be aware that every monitor and screen displays colors a little differently. We have done our very best to show our colors as they appear in your hand.
**Please Note**: These colors are NOT intended for children. Half-Pans are small and therefore a choking hazard. Please use only as intended.
