Blues – Serene to Dramatic Hand Poured Watercolor Half Pan Set has 4 unique* DANIEL SMITH colors plus, 2 true blues for seas and skies. These colors help create a huge, expressive range of blues from calm water and boundless skies, to active and stormy ones!
“A color associated with tranquility and eternity, mood, and wellbeing. It’s all around us. While being one of the three primary colors, blue comes in a multitude of shades, each one with it’s own unique personality and characteristics. It can be mixed to create nearly any color your mind can dream up. At one point in Europe’s history, only the very rich were able to enjoy the luxury of blue paint. In my estimation, you can never have too many different blues! The word is ripe with possibilities and conjures up a multitude of images.” -Julie Ann Karlsson

“Pigments that are warm and textured like the earth. The first thing I thought when I saw this set was 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 vast arid landscapes of dunes, rocky cliffs and deep gorges.
While the set is not intended to be a standalone palette (no blues) these paints were selected for their mixing ability and unique visual qualities, and are a great way to expand your color collection.” -Brenda Swenson

“This Sketcher set contains a primary triad for mixing bright colours and an earth triad which makes the creation of browns and muted colours quicker and easier. Limiting your palette to only six colours helps you master colour mixing and also allows for expansion down the road to suit your own colour preferences and favorite subjects” -Liz Steel.

“Whether the aim is to paint botanicals, landscapes, urban scenes, animals, portraits – or any other subject – this set of fifteen colours will enable you to mix all the colours that you need. The fifteen colours used in this palette showcase the many characteristics of watercolour; some are transparent, some are opaque, some semi-transparent, some staining and some granulating. Some have two or even three of these characteristics. They are also largely single pigment colours, and they are carefully chosen to intermix, creating a world of colors. Importantly, they are all reliable pigments with a lightfast rating of I or II for watercolour.” – Jane Blundell.
