Review on DANIEL SMITH Extra Watercolor Indian by Wendy Rodriguez

Revainrating 5 out of 5

A very beautiful earthy red.

I usually only use Daniel Smith for my main watercolor palette and I've never been disappointed. It is a beautiful earthy red very similar to true piemontite but slightly less brown in tone. Both colors are diluted with a lovely muted pink and can be made a bit more orange-brown by adding yellow ocher or yellow mars. On her website, Jane Blundell gives an excellent example of the use of this color in a yellow ocher and azure chrome triad. Colors are more muted, but they're great if you're looking for an earthy landscape palette. I created a palette of 12 colors by focusing on them and am very happy with the results. As always, top quality from Daniel Smith.
