DANIEL SMITH Extra Fine™ English Red Earth Watercolor 15 ml. - World`s finest artists` paints

Rich color and opacity make English Red Earth a versatile pigment that offers a range of effects. At full strength this color is similar to Burnt Sienna although it provides more coverage and dries with a slightly matte finish. Add water to create a warm pink-brown with soft granulation. Excellent light fastness makes for a reliable watercolor. 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.
