Daniel Smith - Extra-Fine Watercolour Primatek Set (6 x 5ml)

Size: 5ml Colours: 6* Set of artist-quality watercolour Features 6 colours from the PrimaTek range Formulated to meet & exceed industry standards Made using a variety of genuine ground minerals (some semi-precious) *please refer to Contents tab below Featuring 6 vibrant colours from across their PrimaTek range, this set from Daniel Smith is ideal for producing gorgeous, unique work. Beginning in 1998 with Lapus Lazuli, a mineralogist sources genuine minerals (some semi-precious), which are then processed into pigments before being milled into these artist-quality watercolours.  Occasionally described by artists as "magical", PrimaTeks aren't just attractive but also provide a sense of movement & depth through gorgeous granulation. Specially formulated to meet & exceed the highest industry standards, Daniel Smith artist-quality watercolours are available in several lines (Extra-Fine, PrimaTek & Luminescent).  Each & every batch is thoroughly analysed for its performance qualities including lightfastness, colour value, tinting strength, clarity, vibrancy, undertone, particle size, density & viscosity. Vibrant, consistently coloured & fully intermixable, they boast the widest range of highly-pigmented, unique colours in the world. Rhodonite Genuine 167 A versatile rose pink made using jewellery-quality stone, wonderful for portraits & landscapes. At full value, it is intense but still transparent, low-staining and non-granulating. Use wet on wet for a soft, transparent glow without granulation. Jadeite Genuine 195 An exceptionally beautiful colour made using the strong coloured minerals Jade & Nephrite. Incredibly versatile, produce all the shades we come to expect from Jade from deep, dark-green mass tones to the palest of washes. Amethyst Genuine 203 A rich, true purple that's almost black in mass tone & capable of infinite gradation. Thanks to the crushed gemstone, this granulating colour also produces attractive clear washes with just the barest hint of sparkle. Mayan Blue Genuine 211 A gorgeous green-tinged indigo, this was featured throughout Mayan culture (hence the name) & after 1000 years has hardly faded. Now, using ancient Mayan chemistry & eco-friendly processes, this unique, beautiful, metal-free pigment has been recreated. Piemontite Genuine 191 A rich, versatile colour ground from a scarlet-streaked mineral from the hills of Italy. At it's darkest, Piemontite has a deep ruddy violet tone & adding water produces an attractive violet-brown granulation with a carmine tone. Perfect for adding interest to shadows or painting the mottled surfaces of autumn leaves. Hematite Genuine 156 Ground from a heavy silvery-black mineral known as Hematite (or Bloodstone), which is naturally rich in iron. Producing a soft dove grey when applied in a thin wash & creating bold granulation in a thick wash.
