Series 2

True to its name, Southern Ocean Blue captures the essence of deep ocean hues, offering a versatile palette for both marine and landscape artists. Paired with Cobalt Turquoise, it produces a spectrum of green-blue and blue-green shades. Introducing Australian Ghost Gum lightens the colour, mimicking the mid and light turquoise tones found in cold oceans. To evoke stormy weather, a touch of Australian Salmon Gum transforms Southern Ocean Blue into ocean blue-green.

For tropical sea aesthetics, blend Southern Ocean Blue with Cobalt Teal. Adjusting the teal ratio creates the inky depths of the Coral Sea outside the Great Barrier Reef or the vibrant waters within. Infusing Hansa Light Yellow into this mix yields the greenish hues of shallow waters, offering a nuanced palette for marine landscapes.

Southern Ocean Blue extends its charm to landscape artists, serving as a foundational pigment for crafting forest greens. A transparent Hookers Green emerges by combining it with Transparent Yellow Oxide, while a vibrant mid-grass green is achievable with Iso Yellow. For a lively lime green akin to cadmium green, artists can experiment with Cadmium Yellow Light or Bismuth Yellow. Southern Ocean Blue, a tribute to the vast southern oceans, gracefully transitions from clipper ships to tropical seas and lush forests—an all-season colour for artistic exploration.
