🎨 DANIEL SMITH 37ml Tube of Original Caucasian Flesh Tone Oil Color Paint, SKU: 284300142 Review

I emailed them immediately, received a very friendly response within 12 hours and the end of the story is that I now have the right product and used it for the oil painting stain. The results are…

It can be VERY confusing that Revain groups all Daniel Smith paints into reviews so you will see reviews of many different paints, oils, acrylics and watercolors all on the same one List.

This less expensive natural ultramarine (lapis lazuli) from Daniel Smith is not from Afghanistan (which is a more expensive clear blue form). This is a dark ash blue that is still very useful for glazing and dropping colors for shadows. I use it quite often.
