Graphite Gray (PBk10): Gris Graphite exploration of this colour reveals some surprising pigment properties beyond its apparent opacity. Ideal for aged and weathered wood, fence posts, and old buildings, this pigment and approach are acceptable candidates for overpainting a value sketch with a light glaze. As graphite pencil is entirely acceptable in watercolour, a synthetic graphite pigment, Graphite Grey, seems surprisingly natural.

Description: Daniel Smith Extra Fine Watercolour Graphite Gray 15ml
Exploration of this colour reveals surprising pigment properties beyond its apparent opacity. First, Graphite Gray disperses well and quickly in water, so floating the dense pigment onto the water or into a wet wash offers an interesting handling method. A dry brushstroke is quickly followed by a wet brushstroke spread, leaving some of the pigment to give the dry brush texture. Aged and weathered wood, fence posts, and old buildings are excellent candidates for this pigment and approach. Try this: Overpaint a value sketch with a light glaze. As graphite pencil is entirely acceptable in watercolour, a synthetic graphite pigment, namely Graphite Grey, seems surprisingly natural. DANIEL SMITH is the worldwide leader in watercolours for artists, with the most beautiful colours of any manufacturer. Many traditional colours are relied upon by all artists, and many "truly unique" colours, made only by DANIEL SMITH, have become essential to watercolour artists. PrimaTek Watercolours are made from minerals, often semi-precious minerals, that have been ground into pigments, mixed with gum arabic (the binder), and milled into Them. The first was Lapis Lazuli Genuine in 1998; since then, many more have been added, including Amethyst Genuine, Piemontite Genuine, and Serpentine Genuine. Most of these colours have excellent granulating effects that some artists have called "magical." Luminescent watercolours have special optical effects perfect for subjects with a sparkle, sheen, or reflective glow, such as the iridescence of hummingbird feathers or the sheen of metals. Cadmium Hues, DANIEL SMITH has developed safe and vibrant Cadmium Hues with the density and richness of cadmium colours without the cadmium pigment. Virtually identical in colour to their namesakes, they are cleaner in mixtures and much more robust in tints. The functional properties—staining power, semi-transparency, and excellent lightfastness—are nearly identical to those of the low-soluble cadmium colours that DANIEL SMITH previously manufactured. Other Unique Watercolours are created using pigments that DANIEL SMITH has sourced, often from particular locations. These include Burgundy Yellow Ochre, Monte Amiata Natural Sienna, and Roasted French Ochre. Some are created exclusively by DANIEL SMITH, such as Cascade Green, Deep Sap Green, and Green Gold. DANIEL SMITH also finds unusual pigments to create colours like Anthraquinoid Scarlet, Lunar Blue, and Environmentally Friendly Red Iron Oxide, providing artists with more options.Graphite Gray (PBk10) Gris Graphite
