DANIEL SMITH Extra Fine™ Chinese White Watercolor 15 ml. - World`s finest artists` paints

Forbidden by purists, Chinese White is much more than a repair patch. This semi-transparent, pure white offers excellent permanency and a medium-high tinting strength. It’s great for lightening other colors. Drop and spatter Chinese White into a damp gray wash to describe the moist, mushy snowfalls of the Pacific Northwest’s coastal lowlands. Try a brushload of Chinese White where water’s edge meets snowbanks to indicate melting. For field flowers in spring meadows, a touch of Chinese White into Carbazole Violet helps create clover and other wildflowers. And, of course, you can always use it to paint details and highlights! If the paint works, use it. 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.
