Fine Watercolor Stick 12ml Paint Tube, Phthalo Turquoise

Daniel Smith, the Innovative Manufacturer of Beautiful Watercolors for Artists Worldwide, offers a vast array of more than 240 colors – the largest range of watercolors of any manufacturer. One of their exclusive offerings is a favorite among artists, known for its remarkable transition from a deep dark turquoise to a thin film of robin's egg blue in a single wash, moving seamlessly from ground level to sky areas of garden florals. This pigment can be used alongside purples or to paint a captivating lake scene in summer.

In addition to their renowned liquid watercolor paints, Daniel Smith has also developed a line of Watercolor Sticks, offering artists the same superior pigment quality in a convenient stick form. Crafted with the same superior pigment as their traditional watercolor paints, these Watercolor Sticks contain no fillers or waxes – just pure pigment and gum arabic, ensuring the paint releases easily with a wet brush.

The Daniel Smith Watercolor Sticks provide artists with the exact same superior intensity as their liquid watercolor counterparts. This allows for exceptional control and versatility, enabling artists to create a wide range of expressive effects, from bold, vibrant hues to delicate, nuanced washes.

The stick format offers numerous advantages for artists. The compact, portable design makes them easy to transport and use in the field, ideal for plein air painting or sketching on the go. The solid stick form also allows for more precise application and control, allowing artists to create detailed lines, textures, and scumbling effects.

One of the key benefits of the Watercolor Sticks is their ability to be easily reactivated with water, even after the paint has dried. This allows artists to seamlessly blend colors, create layered effects, and make adjustments to their work, even days or weeks after the initial application.

The versatility of the Daniel Smith Watercolor Sticks extends beyond traditional watercolor techniques. Artists can also use them for mixed media applications, incorporating the pigment-rich sticks into collages, drawings, and other mixed media compositions.

Overall, the Daniel Smith Watercolor Sticks represent a testament to the company's commitment to innovation and their dedication to providing artists with the highest-quality materials to realize their creative visions. Whether working on studio pieces or plein air sketches, these Watercolor Sticks offer a unique and versatile tool that can help artists unlock new levels of expression and experimentation in their watercolor practice.
