Introducing 8 New DANIEL SMITH Watercolours!
Rose Madder Permanent – sku 284 600 237, series 2
PR 209, PV 19, PR 202
Excellent lightfastness
Transparent
Non-granulating
Non-staining
DANIEL SMITH Rose Madder Permanent is a modern, lightfast formulation of the traditional colour giving artists a rose watercolour with similar properties. This warm, rose pink has an ever-so-slight hint of brown making it slightly less vivid than the pink Quinacridones, and a more natural blush, perfect for portraits.
Quinacridone Lilac – sku 284 600 236, series 2
PR 122
Very Good lightfastness
Transparent
Non-granulating
Medium Staining
DANIEL SMITH Quinacridone Lilac lies between Quinacridone Rose and Quinacridone Magenta within the DANIEL SMITH Quinacridone colour family. This new, vivid pink with the slightest blue tone, is a must have for florals, and like all our Quinacridone colours, Quin Lilac excels in vivid clarity and intensity.
Wisteria – sku 284 600 231, series 2
PW 6, PR 122
Very Good lightfastness
Semi-transparent
Non-granulating
Non-staining
DANIEL SMITH Wisteria, like the blooms of its namesake flowering vine, is a delicate lavender with a pink bias. Similar in colour to Ultramarine Red but with different properties, this non-granulating and non-staining colour paints smoothly and lifts easily. Wonderful for painting orchids and other florals.
Lavender – sku 284 600 232, series 2
PW 6, PV 15, PB 29
Excellent lightfastness
Semi-transparent
Granulating
Low staining
DANIEL SMITH Lavender is a beautiful periwinkle blue, and quite different from our other blues. This semi-transparent lavender blue has beautiful granulation, and lifts easily. In addition to being an excellent floral colour, our Lavender suggests certain shades of faded denim.
Aussie Red Gold – sku 284 600 234, series 2
PY 83, PR 101, PV 19
Excellent lightfastness
Transparent
Non-granulating
Low staining
DANIEL SMITH Aussie Red Gold is the rich, golden colour of ochre cliffs set aflame at sunset. This brilliant, reddish gold will add glowing light to Autumn leaves, late summer flowers and landscapes. Aussie Red Gold is transparent, non-granulating, low staining and performs wonderfully, you will love it on your palette!
Raw Sienna Light – sku 284 600 233, series 1
PY 42
Excellent lightfastness
Transparent
Granulating
Non-staining
DANIEL SMITH Raw Sienna Light has more golden yellow tones than our Raw Sienna. This Sienna is a non-granulating colour, so it is smoother in washes and is non-staining rather than low staining like our Raw Sienna. Washes suggest sunny wheat fields, dried savannah grasses and other sunbaked landscapes.
Burnt Sienna Light – sku 284 600 230, series 1
PR 101, PO 48
Excellent lightfastness
Transparent
Granulating
Non-staining
DANIEL SMITH Burnt Sienna Light is a beautiful earthy colour and is redder than our Burnt Sienna, more transparent and slightly less granulating. In very light washes, it makes a good, light flesh tone for portraits, and in darker washes, it is a rich red-brown.
Payne’s Blue Gray – sku 284 600 235, series 1
PB 60, PBk 6
Excellent lightfastness
Semi-transparent
Non-granulating
Low staining
DANIEL SMITH Payne’s Blue Gray is similar to our bluer Indigo, but like our original Payne’s Gray, it is semi-transparent rather than transparent. Inky blue and non-granulating Payne’s Blue Gray is perfect for painting dark, stormy skies, nightscapes, and for quickly darkening most other colours.
