Cobalt Turquoise? Cobalt Teal? This color with the same hue comes in two pigments: PG50 and PB28. Today we’re looking into PG50 closer, to see the properties of the pigment and a full range of its values when painting a monochromatic painting.
The mixing shows a range of possibilities how it could work with your palette and … it’s just pretty to look at.
In addition I talk about toxicity of cobalt pigments and their environmental impact. Really worth watching!
