DANIEL SMITH 285250077 Extra Fine Secondary Watercolor Set, 3 Tubes, 15ml

Recieved packaging with no paint!

This set comes with Quinacridone Burnt Orange (a deep earthy orange that when mixed with nickel azo yellow makes a Quinacridone Gold hue and when mixed with blues makes the most beautiful diffused mossy greens, cool browns, and inky blacks), Undersea Green (an earthy multi-pigment blend that has the most spectacular granulation in washes), and Carbazole Violet (a purple that is in my opinion the perfect mixing purple due to its vibrancy and depth). This is a fantastic set of non-standard secondary pigments (with the exclusion of the Carbazole Violet)! It is also such a good deal! $24 USD for 15ml tubes of Daniel Smith! I just looked up what these paints would cost you if you bought them (on amazon) individually. At the time I wrote this review you would spend approximately $48. So you are essentially getting a tube and a half of paint for free! I absolutely adore this set! If you are an amateur watercolorist just starting out GET THIS! If you are an intermediate watercolorist that is wanting to upgrade to a higher quality paint GET THIS! If you are a professional watercolorist wanting to widen your collection of pigments and/or brands GET THIS!

I’m a beginner in watercolor painting. I heard Daniel Smith paints were very good. When I saw this set at the price Amazon had them listed at, I had to try them. I love the colors, they are perfect to use when painting landscapes.

amazing watercolors. I really love the test sheets that this company makes.

Im loving these colors & how they mix with each other. The green is a convenience mix but is gorgeous granulating color. Purple is very strong a little goes a long way.

Fabulous colors love them

All colors of Daniel Smith are vibrant and light fast !

Anyone who knows about Daniel Smith knows how phenomenal this brand is. I was so excited to see this secondary set for around 20 bucks since regular price, each of these tubes is $10-15 a piece! The Quin. Burnt Orange is absolutely gorgeous. The Carbazole Violet is nice too. I was most impressed with the undersea green, and since it has multiple pigments in it, it leaves a wonderful effect. Some of the Ultramarine pigment in it separates from the Nickel Azo and leaves a beautiful granulation. These are expensive, artist quality paints, but this is a great deal for 3 tubes. If you are really interested in this, look up the colors on a search engine to see how the colors actually look, as the Undersea Green is less uniform than the picture shows. This is a beautiful set and I would definitely recommend!

Good stuff and cheap.

El naranja es espectacular. Los otros dos también son lindos colores.
