Hobby and crafts DANIEL SMITH PrimaTek Piemontite Genuine Watercolor 15 ml. - World`s finest artists` paints
Price: €20.91
- Code:10301211
Ground from a scarlet-streaked mineral from the hills of Italy, Piemontite Genuine is a rich, versatile PrimaTek watercolor. A deep ruddy violet is the darkest value of this watercolor; adding water produces lovely violet-brown granulation with a carmine tone. Perfect for adding interest to shadows or painting the mottled surfaces of autumn leaves.
Starting with 10 parts water to 1 part paint (by weight) in the palette, our chemist paints the top half of the swatch uniformly with a round brush to show the paint’s color and characteristics. For the bottom half, he dips a ¾” flat brush into the paint well just once, then applies the color in stripes until the brush is dry, which shows the color’s tone and behavior through a wash. We use these swatches for color matching during the manufacturing process.

DANIEL SMITH created the PrimaTek line of paints made from minerals, some semi-precious, beginning in 1998 with a cache of Lapis Lazuli. We have a mineralogist who sources minerals which we process into pigment, then mill it into watercolor. PrimaTeks express themselves with gorgeous granulation, giving a sense of movement and depth that some artists have described as magical.
Formulated to meet and exceed the highest industry standards, every batch is thoroughly analyzed for its performance qualities – lightfastness, color value, tinting strength, clarity, vibrancy, undertone, particle size, density and viscosity. Paint everything you can imagine with vibrant and consistent colors that can be easily mixed for even more variations.
