DANIEL SMITH Watercolor Half Pans Set

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) is a set that showcases the versatility and richness of blues in the world of watercolor painting. This set, following the DANIEL SMITH tradition of manufacturing the finest, handcrafted paints and products, features HAND POURED pans, offering the purest form of professional watercolor half pans.

The set includes 4 unique DANIEL SMITH colors, plus 2 true blues for seas and skies. These colors help create a vast, expressive range of blues, from calm water and boundless skies to active and stormy ones. Blue, as Julie Ann Karlsson eloquently states, is "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 its own unique personality and characteristics. It can be mixed to create nearly any color your mind can dream up."

The set includes the following colors:

DANIEL SMITH Sleeping Beauty Turquoise Genuine (PrimaTek): A unique and vibrant blue, the gemstone comes from Sleeping Beauty Mountain in Arizona, offering a lightfast and permanent hue with no transient color fade.

DANIEL SMITH Cerulean Blue: A cleaner, brighter, and slightly warmer alternative to Cerulean Blue Chromium, this versatile blue will be a valuable component of any palette.

DANIEL SMITH Lunar Blue: Inspired by the fabric of the night sky, this moody watercolor features granulating lunar black floating above a phthalo undertone, perfect for capturing the essence of a moonlit sky.

DANIEL SMITH Indigo: Transparent yet high in tinting strength, Indigo leaves a gentle faded blue denim stain when blotted from a damp state paint, making it ideal for creating dusty purples or flowing strokes of branches and birch trees.

DANIEL SMITH Sodalite Genuine (PrimaTek): This inky color granulates and creates a three-dimensional quality as it dries, adding depth and interest to your paintings.

DANIEL SMITH Payne's Blue Gray: Perfect for painting dark, stormy skies, nightscapes, and for quickly darkening most other colors, this versatile shade is a must-have in any watercolor artist's arsenal.

The set also includes 9 empty half pans, allowing you to fill them with your other DANIEL SMITH Watercolors, enabling you to customize your palette and have all your favorite blues at your fingertips. The included plastic travel case ensures your colors are protected and easily transportable, making this set a valuable addition to any watercolor artist's toolkit.
