DANIEL SMITH Extra Fine Watercolor Primary 3-Set 15ml

Brush on bright primary colors that multitask as foundations for other hues. An important set for students and new watercolorists, the Primary Color Set lets you customize basic colors. The set also collaborates with the Secondary Color Set to complete an entire colorwheel, multiplying possible shade combinations.

Set includes 15ml tubes of the following colors:
• Perylene Red – A medium staining and semi-transparent. It creates vivid, dark washes with a clean brilliant orange hue. This sedimentary pigment offers an additional health plus, as it is made from a metal-free red. Clean modern pigments such as this will put accidental mud-making in the past.
• Hansa Yellow Medium – A high-tinting, semi-transparent organic pigment. Considered the ‘perfect yellow’, Hansa Yellow Medium offers more control when mixing. Painters admire the purity of this primary pigment and adjust its temperature while avoiding a gray from a hidden complement. Think of a yellow pepper.
• French Ultramarine – This medium-to-dark warm reddish-blue is highly lightfast and of medium tinting strength. Its sedimentary quality increases its versatility. Mixed with various portions of other blues, French Ultramarine is a wonderful sky pigment. Modify it with Quinacridone Gold for delightful greens that remain color-coordinated. Mix French Ultramarine with Quinacridone Burnt Orange and be rewarded with an amazing range of blue to brown grays. Mixed with either Quinacridone Rose or Pink, a range of purples result. For another important mix, see Hooker’s and Sap Green.
