Blue Duck is the kind of blue that has main character energy, but still behaves in public.
It’s deep, vibrant, and slightly mischievous, like it’s been stealing gloss from a duck feather and putting it straight into your palette. Bold, yes. Too much, no. It’s that rare blue that can carry a whole painting and still leave room for everyone else.
In a light wash it stays clear and cool. Push it and it goes dark and punchy without turning into boring navy. And it’s perfect for shadows when you want something cooler with attitude instead of the usual grey situation.
Use it for seascapes, night skies, dramatic accents, layered depth, and all the places where your painting needs a little “excuse me, look here”. It mixes well, it lifts a palette instantly, and it refuses to be background decoration.
