Professional Tips & Care

• When painting water, use horizontal strokes and vary the mix by adding hints of white, green, or blue to create realistic surface variation and depth.
• For vibrant tropical birds or fish, use this turquoise as a base mid-tone, adding white for highlights and a darker blue or green for shadows and patterns.
• To keep the color clean and bright in mixes, avoid combining it with earth colors like raw umber unless a specific muted tone is desired.
• This color works beautifully in mixed media when used over or under layers of other brights or metallics.
• Always cap the tube tightly after use to prevent skin from forming in the nozzle.
• Seal finished artwork with a varnish to protect the color intensity, especially if used in decorative or high-touch projects.
