I wanted to try this and was warned it can be quite a heavy colour, so use sparingly. I found this to be correct, but it's good to have a nice strong blue. I haven't as yet used a lot of this but it is a great addition to the other blues I use.

I have a palette of blues and Phthalo Blue is critical among these in creating vibrant tones and amazing greys when a reduced colour palette essential. Daniel Smith's pigments are among the greatest available. Great tone

This Daniel Smith Pthalo Blue is working very well with my other watercolour paint to make lovely unmuddy mixes.
