Art quality paint

Daniel Smith Excellent quality watercolors, paint for artists. If you want to try Daniel Smith watercolors, this is an inexpensive way to do it. You can always buy three primary colors and see how many colors you can get by mixing them. I think that's a good start. However, if you want a complete set, even the one the watercolor master uses, this is the way to go. Daniel Smith has other small 5ml kits. One of them is the Primatek line, a color made from real gems. There is also a 5ml set of primaries which is a great starter kit. The Alvaro Castagnet set has a Deep Scarlet which I am now in love with. Delicious, rich, earthy red. It has now become a staple in my color palette. Not particularly fond of light sienna, a color said to only be available in this set. transparent, try Daniel Smith's Quinacridone Sienna. It is a deep radiant earthy orange color. Judging Daniel Smith's paint as a whole, I give her five stars because her paints are simply of the highest quality, the best in the watercolor world. As for this set, it's not my favorite palette. colors and I don't like ocher. But that's just a personal preference. As for color, use what you like and develop your own palette after painting for a while. You start to see which colors you prefer and which colors you don't really like. That's the beauty of travelling. Learn by experimenting. You can't go wrong with this set.
