How I paint the blues

Ah! Blues.....you can sing them, you can play them but mostly I like to paint them. Those cobalt blue skies in a summer afternoon, or the cool cerulean blues in late spring. There is nothing harsher than the full tinting strenght of Pthalocyanine blue....but add lots of white to it and there is nothing nicer.
You finally get to the warnth of Ultramarine, what can I say? The most versatile of the blues, you can paint a vase, a flower, skies, water..... you can warm it up, or cool it down, you can green it or violet it....purple will be better.
