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

Ultramarine Blue pigment is baked to create Ultramarine Violet. It is an excellent lightfast pigment that flows freely, leaving slight granulation in washes. Ultramarine Violet is also low-staining. Mist damp passages of either pigment for a delightful mottled effect. 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.
