Daler Rowney Aquafine Prussian Blue watercolor.
I've long been undecided about what to use as my main cold blue. I have used Phthalo blue lately, but for most of my life I was using Prussian Blue, and I think I'll be more comfortable with it, despite it being duller. Problem is that since I switched to "Budget" paints, Cotman's Prussian Blue wasn't particularly good, I felt.
This new (this is not the same Prussian Blue paint as when I last tried the 'Aquafine' brand) Aquafine Prussian is, I think. Nice clean color and paints very well. I'll try it for a while.
As some may have noticed, I'm interested in Fountain pens. I recently purchased a "cheap" Western pen that is quite outstandingly good: Faber Castell 'Grip'. It may not be terribly "nice". Though stylishly designed, no one is going to mistake it for a $900 pen. It looks its market segment, you could say. But functionally, writing quality, it's very, very good. I'll rate it ahead of Lamy Safari, Pilot Metropolitan, and Parker's old, discontinued Vector.
