DANIEL SMITH Blues – Serene to Dramatic Hand Poured Watercolor Half Pan Set of 6 colors with bonus plastic travel case and 9 empty pans ( total 16 pcs) This set has 4 unique DANIEL SMITH colors plus, 2 true blues for seas and skies. These colors help create a huge, expressive range of blues from calm water and boundless skies, to active and stormy ones. “A color associated with tranquility and eternity, mood, and wellbeing. It’s all around us. While being one of the three primary colors, blue comes in a multitude of shades, each one with it’s own unique personality and characteristics. It can be mixed to create nearly any color your mind can dream up. At one point in Europe’s history, only the very rich were able to enjoy the luxury of blue paint. In my estimation, you can never have too many different blues! The word is ripe with possibilities and conjures up a multitude of images.” – Julie Ann Karlsson

• DANIEL SMITH Sleeping Beauty Turquoise Genuine (PrimaTek): A unique and vibrant blue, the gemstone comes from Sleeping Beauty Mountain in Arizona where we found a deposit that lives up to our high expectations. It is lightfast and permanent, with none of the transient color fade that plagues most turquoise. Turquoise has a unique porous nature that produces granular washes. Juicy washes flow from the brush and drybrush work has the intense texture found only in a mineral pigment.
• DANIEL SMITH Cerulean Blue: Cerulean Blue as a cleaner, brighter and slightly warmer alternative to Cerulean Blue Chromium. A bit less green, it’s a truer blue that will be a versatile component of any palette. DANIEL SMITH Lunar Blue: The fabric of the night sky glides off the brush in this heavenly shade. Granulating lunar black floats above a phthalo undertone, perfect for capturing a moonlit sky. Inky as midnight, or diffused as the moon on water, semi-transparent Lunar Blue lifts beautifully, leaving behind a mere shadow of itself. This moody watercolor is sure to delight.
• DANIEL SMITH Indigo: Transparent, yet high in tinting strength, Indigo leaves a gentle faded blue denim stain when blotted from a damp state paint. Use Indigo wherever dusty purples are desired. Try flowing short strokes of Indigo into water, add touches of Sepia and Quinacridone Burnt Orange to create branches and birch trees. DANIEL SMITH Sodalite Genuine (PrimaTek): This inky color granulates and creates a three-dimensional quality as it dries. DANIEL SMITH Payne’s Blue Gray: Perfect for painting dark, stormy skies, nightscapes, and for quickly darkening most other colors
