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

This organic Vat pigment is a medium staining primary blue. Warmer than most blues, Indanthrone is clear with a delightful range from blue-black to stonewashed denim. Indanthrone Blue offers exciting new possibilities for Indigo skies, water and interesting shadows, as it can be successfully graded to achieve atmospheric and color perspective. DANIEL SMITH originals Anthraquinoid Red, Indian Yellow and Indanthrone Blue complete a transparent staining trio. 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.
