A Premium Lapis Lazuli Watercolour Inspired by Fra Angelico Blue

Genuine Lapis Lazuli Fra Angelico Watercolour Paint is a premium gemstone watercolour made with genuine lapis lazuli pigment.

Inspired by the historic beauty of Fra Angelico blue, this colour offers a soft, luminous, and elegant blue tone suitable for artists who appreciate natural mineral colours and traditional painting materials.

This is a refined lapis lazuli watercolour created for professional artists, collectors, iconographers, and painters who want a genuine gemstone blue with historical character.

Series 8 Premium Quality

This colour is part of De Mairo’s Series 8 premium quality range, representing a high level of refinement within our gemstone paint collection.

Series 8 colours are made with carefully selected mineral pigments and balanced artist binders to preserve the natural beauty, softness, and depth of genuine gemstone colour.

Fra Angelico Watercolour offers a graceful balance of pigment strength, transparency, granulation, and mineral luminosity. It is softer than our Series 9 De Mairo Blue, while still carrying the richness and uniqueness of genuine lapis lazuli.

Colour Character

Fra Angelico Watercolour has a gentle, refined blue tone with a natural mineral presence.

It offers:

• Soft historical blue shade
• Genuine lapis lazuli pigment character
• Natural granulation
• Gentle luminosity
• Elegant transparent washes
• Beautiful layering ability
• A refined mineral blue appearance

This colour is especially suitable for artists who prefer a softer lapis lazuli blue rather than a very intense synthetic-looking blue.

How to Use

Activate the paint with clean water and apply with a watercolour brush.

Use more water for soft transparent washes, or less water for richer and more concentrated layers. On cold-pressed or rough cotton paper, the natural mineral texture and granulation may become more visible.

This colour can be used for fine washes, delicate glazing, layered painting, botanical work, sacred art, skies, drapery, and historical painting styles.

Why Artists Choose Fra Angelico Watercolour

Fra Angelico Watercolour is made for artists who want the natural beauty of lapis lazuli in a professional watercolour format.

It offers a softer and more historical blue compared to De Mairo Blue, making it ideal for artwork where subtlety, luminosity, and natural mineral texture are important.

Each 15ml tube is made in small batches with attention to pigment quality, binder balance, and colour performance.
