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

Perylene Maroon is a super staining dark red-brown. Our exciting Perylene Maroon allows glowing washes that can emanate from a saturated source emerging into sunlight patches. As with other staining pigments, create organic textures with salt application and lift pigment for highlights. Its semi-transparency makes Perylene Maroon special for browns. 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.
