Daniel Smith Extra Fine Watercolor Paint, 15ml Tube, Sugilite Genuine

DANIEL SMITH, the Innovative Manufacturer of Beautiful Watercolors for Artists Worldwide, produces the largest range of watercolors of any manufacturer, more than 240 colors. The 240+ color collection includes the exciting PrimaTek watercolors made from minerals (like Amethyst) plus other unique colors (like Moonglow) not available elsewhere, and Luminescent Watercolors which allow artists to capture the luminescent colors that exist in nature.

One standout in the line of PrimaTek colors is Sugilite, a beautiful granulating pigment from South Africa. First found in 1944 and named for its Japanese discoverer, the rare opaque mineral ranges from grayish lavender to pink to deep purple. Transparent as a watercolor pigment, it combines subtle fuchsia pink and warm gray in a single strongly textural color. In a wash, the gray settles with a slight graphite-like sheen, while the pink rises to resemble the color in an overcast dawn sky. Sugilite is a great complement to golds, oranges, and greens, including Quinacridone Gold and Sap Green.

Sugilite mineral is an excellent choice for artists, with its Excellent Lightfastness, Transparency, Granulating, and Low staining properties. It conforms to ASTM D4236 standards, ensuring its quality and safety for use in artistic applications.

In summary, DANIEL SMITH, the Innovative Manufacturer, offers a wide range of beautiful watercolors, including the unique and captivating PrimaTek and Luminescent Watercolors. Sugilite, a standout in the PrimaTek line, is a stunning and versatile pigment that allows artists to create captivating and textural watercolor paintings.
