This way of presenting color mixing is extremely useful it would be very educational to present in other colors as well so you know us and thanks for that.

[@patricialopez-qi3xk]

Surprising, but cobalt seems to give the most natural sky. Looks perfect.

[@nelsonovidio188]

Exactamente

[@l.j.h9999]

I find ptallo blue more lke how the sky actual looks and cobalt how we think it looks

[@FernandaSomenauer]

I used to paint with acrylics and never understood why my skies were so weird, till I started using phtalo blue. It was a game changer.

[@eiyhka8779]

I got me a tube of phthalo yesterday for the first time and i cant believe how intense deep blue it is. Been missing out

[@monti409]

Very good ! this does provide a perspective as to which colors are useful for a particular theme painting.

[@esthersanzmantrana2468]

Me encanta como nos enseñas las comparaciones de los azules, sobre todo los que más dudas nos crean.Sigue subiendo videos y gracias

[@jadetobin]

I love seeing these together like this!! Perfect way to compare! I like ultramarine for certain things and definitely for mixing nice grays and things.....but I love pthalo and even more Prussian!!!!🥰

[@OhJodi69]

I use watercolor. I painted out nine "sample skies" on a sheet of 9x12" of various blues, including payne;s gray and moonglow. The differences are shocking, and you don't really know it if you're just looking at one color at a time, or imagining it in your head. I use it as a reference for whenever I need to decide on a sky. Often my choice isn't the first one I considered.

[@sibalsekya]

Payne's gray's and moonglow sounds sad

[@OhJodi69]

@@sibalsekya They're good for stormy skies.

[@bowley4]

Wow! Can you do this for other colors as well please? Super helpful! I’ve had ultramarine and phthalo for a while but now I know Prussian is the one I’ve been dreaming of this whole time! Hahaha

[@peraguy3863]

I use Prussian but I'm thinking of switching to Cobalt. Because Prussian Blue can be annoyingly strong sometimes. But it's hard to let go of

[@CesarCordova]

I would use 2 blues. Adding ultramarine or cobalt is a good choice.

[@elviamartin3962]

Gracias por la demostracion, yo creo que el tono depende de la sensacion que se quiera trasmitir

[@jes9157]

Wow! Finally I figured out what shade of blue that's been on my mind and been trying to create for a long time now.. Im so glad this video exists!

[@blackdiamond5507]

Which one lol ??

[@serenepenguin9397]

Amazing job! Now I am very clear with the differences. Thank you

[@lauracastro6843]

l like the cobalt blue to paint the sky that color is amazing on acrylics or oil, Thank you for the video.

[@59jaguar]

Perfect. I’ve been using French ultramarine for everything but not anymore!

[@CesarCordova]

Ultramarine is awesome, but I would add another one, either Cobalt or Phtalo.

Gracias por el video César, es de gran ayuda a la hora de escoger uno de estos azules !!

[@PaintingWithSamir]

nice video. I realy like using prussian blue. from very light tones mixed with white,to darkest spots on painting when I mix it with burnt umber. but I find that this color isnt good for sky.

[@anawanitia]

This is the best blue comparison video ever!

[@littlepinkdot2916]

Cobalt blue made the best sky. It reminds me of the skies made by the old masters.

[@vijiraja6957]

Very useful and a great mixing for viewing and learning

[@tonitaesqtafesquivel806]

I love that look in Prussian blue one

[@blackdiamond5507]

🐦Wow thank you for this excellent demonstration !! The Cobalt is so beautiful and the others just look "yuk" . 😁

[@wachaora]

Para mis clases siempre me pidieron el prusia y el ultramar. En esta comparación veo tintes de rojo en el ultramar y de amarillo en el prusia. Y los cobalto y phtalo (este último núnca me lo recomendaron) los veo más naturales o neutros, más azules pues.

[@katterek]

That's phtalo red right? I've got phtalo green and I'm sure it looks way greener than this

[@CesarCordova]

Yes, this is Phthalo Red Shade.

[@keen6808]

Great question. Essential.

[@askialuna7717]

i remember i once bought a tube of phthaloblue in an art shop because ultramarine was sold out and the sky I wanted to have as a background was much too greenish and the phthaloblue was so intense that I used almost the entire tube of white I bought with it. I also assumed at the beginning that i could pre-paint many smaller canvases with it and then the color was unfortunately only enough for 3. Only because I didn't have enough money to buy some larger bottles, I paid a lot more money for the small amount of paint I bought, I think it was 3,60€ per 60ml tube.

[@druidobianco9734]

3.60 for 60ml is pretty cheap!

Cesar cual es la tendencia del azul phtalo?

[@bluesque9687]

Ultramarine blue is the ultimate! The most beautiful colour on the planet! Lapis lazuli

[@bharadwajmudigonda5487]

esto es oro puro! 🙏🏻 Gracias por tu publicación

[@irismaguire]

The ultramarine looks to me like the early evening sky, the cobalt the afternoon sky, the phthalo a sunny day, and the prussian a sky before thunderclouds start getting heavy. I’m sure there’s a place for each of them. I like having them all, but not using them all in one painting.

[@marboreal5952]

Genial esta comparación. Por cierto, primera vez que veo azul aftalo. Quizá dependr de países o marcas ?

[@dianabecerragonzalez2938]

Muy buen video y excelente comparación 👏👏👏👏

[@dominiquepruneda5825]

That AHA moment when you realize why Bob Ross likes phtalo blue or Prussian blue for the skies. It looks more natural

[@keen6808]

Which of the four is the best? All four are better.

[@yopestevens1505]

Amazingly helpful! Got one for reds?

[@CesarCordova]

[@LyubomirIko]

How useful is Cobalt in general? It is pricey that puts me off. I haven't try it, so I dont know the properties. Is it indispensable in lets say mix with yellow for foliage or something like that? Or just very useful for natural sky? Cause from here it seems like little bit of Ultramarine+Phthalo will imitate it very close?

[@CesarCordova]

The hue can be replicated easily, but cobalt is more lightfast than all other blues.

[@jaimehernandelgadoquintero4539]

Maestro muchas gracias yo prefiero el ultramar para el cielo y a veces lo combinó con el prussia

[@jacquesfangeat1592]

Hi, what medium do you use to paint your different skies ? Original liquin, turpentine, or others? Tanks, Jacques

[@CesarCordova]

Here I used only a little odorless turpentine

[@Bob-yf3sf]

Thank you for another nice video. Now I love blue, I got ultramarine and prussian and would like to add another blue, should I buy cobalt blue or cerulean?

[@walaeldari_art2309]

I think cobalt is the best for skies

[@richiejourney1840]

Cerulean is closer to a realistic clear sunny afternoon day where I live.

[@deadlyradiation7977]

All beautiful colors. Cobalt looks the most natural to me. Wish it was more affordable. 😂

[@isabs8616]

[@elitzapetrova3768]

Hi Cesar, may I ask you, how are these four colours classified in temperature? To me it seems like Ultramarine and Cobalt are on the cool side and Phtalo and Prussian on the warm... How are they classified? Thanks, you're great!

[@CesarCordova]

Yes, Ultramarine and Cobalt are more violet, and Phtalo and Prussian are more green. It depends on what you think is cool or warm, some say green is warm because it tends towards yellow, and others say violet is warm because it tends towards red. And the opposite, that green is cool because it tends towards blue or that violet is cool because it tends towards blue too. There is not a correct or wrong answer.

[@elitzapetrova3768]

Thanks for your response🙏

[@richiejourney1840]

This is EXACTLY why the psychology characteristic “temperature” should not be used to describe the character of “bias”.

Se ve que el talo es el más claro y cálido El ultramar el más frío su opuesto total De uno nunca se podrá convertir al otro con ninguna mezcla. Yo no conocía el phtalo Pensé que el neutro era el cobalto que siempre ocupo pero al querer sacar tonos muy claros y saturados sale muy quebrado.

[@densaldanha]

Thank you, this is just what I was looking for!

[@brainstream851]

What do you think is the most beliveable blue fpr the sky? I think Cobalt looks most realistic, but french ultramarine is the more artistic color in a painting. (Look at "Anna Selbdritt" of Leonardo da Vinci at the Louvre!) He used a touch of Ultramarin - i think it was "Lapislazuli"??? PS.: Your examples would been better without the clouds!

[@CesarCordova]

The sky has different hues, depending on the time and weather, with phtalo and ultramarine you can mix most of them.

[@brainstream851]

@@CesarCordova Thanks for your answer! You're right: Sometimes the sky has more portions of red and sometimes he is simply clear blue (Phtalo) sometimes even the sky has a little bit of green. By thunder and lightning you see sometimes even Indigo.

[@richiejourney1840]

Bending towards advanced realism and mid afternoon…the sky is much lighter and greener where I live. I would prefer something closer to PG50 (ideal cyan)
