With three unique DANIEL SMITH colors. plus three steadfast earth tones, this set will take you from desert landscapes to rugged mountains to picturesque urban landscapes of stone, stucco, adobe and tile.

“These pigments are warm and textured like the earth. The first things I thought about when I saw this set were the textures of weathered buildings, streets paved in stone, terracotta rooftops and sun-bleached doorways…beautiful cities built of stone and earth. It also brought to mind the vast arid landscapes of sand dunes, rocky cliffs and deep gorges. While the set is not intended to be a stand-alone palette (no blues), these hues were selected for their mixing ability and unique visual qualities.”  — Brenda Swenson

Each of these six half pans is hand-poured. The set comes with a travel case and 9 additional empty pans for mixing or adding colors from your selection of tubes for easier portability.
