229 DS ARTIST WATERCOLOUR Neutral Tint

Description

Create Rich Darks and Neutrals with this fabulous and unique, dark neutral pigment that when mixed with any watercolour pigment produces glowing, darker values of that colour.

“As professional teaching artists, we asked if DANIEL SMITH could develop a new dark watercolor pigment, so that seasoned watercolourists as well as beginners could easily mix visually pleasing, colourful clean darks. We wanted to make it easier for our students to keep away from making muddy darks in one easy step and this is the perfect solution! DANIEL SMITH’s new Neutral Tint is just what we have been hoping for”
– Theresa Goesling and Cindy Briggs.
