Ultramarine Blue Professional Watercolour:

"This ultramarine is a paint I would definitely buy again. The creamy texture of the undiluted paint is so easy to use straight from the bottle. I use a lot of greys mixed from ultramarine and raw sienna and am delighted with the outcome . The colour is beautifully intense ,drying to the same richness as when wet.”

Diana Boanas - Hull

"I have painted monochrome watercolours for many years, ultramarine in particular and am very surprised by the high quality of this product. Since purchasing the paint I have produced two portraits and have found the colour very flexible. It is very intense when applied with little water and easily diluted to produce a fantastic range of light and shade when used wet in wet. I am really pleased to have been introduced to the range of Ludlow colours."

Christopher Medcalf - Lincoln

Charcoal Grey Professional Watercolour:

“Just used the charcoal grey watercolour I purchased from A J Ludlow. Fantastic quality such a small amount goes a long way. Will definitely be investing in more colours”

Jimmy Solo - Cambridge

Impasto Medium

"I enjoyed using Impasto Medium creating 3D effects to my Watercolour Paintings. It is easy to use. I used it with colour and without mixing with colours. I mixed Impasto Medium with different colours, and then applied the colours to my painting with a pallet knife. It's like painting with oil colours. I also used Impasto Medium without mixing with colours, and then applied Watercolours on the dried Impasto Medium area. It gave translucent effect to the painting. It's very enjoyable. I will do more with the Impasto Medium."
