Make your mark, DANIEL SMTIH Watercolour Stick!

DANIEL SMITH Watercolour Sticks are an expressive addition to every artist’s palette – adding more creative possibilities!

DANIEL SMITH Watercolor Sticks are a “Pan in Your Hand”!

Alizarin Crimson is the oldest synthetic deep red-crimson pigment. It is a lake pigment that will last for many decades when applied in strength and kept from direct sunlight. Alizarin is a treat to paint with; just the sheer joy of the depth and uniqueness of colour is invigorating. A beautiful bluish-red pigment from the staining family, Alizarin Crimson is listed on the basic palette of most artists.

Intense and dark in value, Alizarin Crimson mixes cleanly with most pigments to create dark mixtures and warm neutrals. Combining Aureolin (Cobalt Yellow) and French Ultramarine with Alizarin renders a surprising range of other colours resembling everything from Burnt Sienna and Umber to Payne’s Gray. At the same time, Alizarin Crimson with French Ultramarine creates an intense purple.

These innovative Watercolour Sticks are DANIEL SMITH Watercolour paints shaped into a convenient stick form, allowing you to draw and paint with your watercolours.
