Daniel Smith Extra Fine Gouache - Ultramarine Blue, 15 ml

Daniel Smith Extra Fine Gouache is professional artist-grade water media paint that produces an opaque matte finish. Extra Fine Gouache is made with the same high-quality pigments and gum arabic as Daniel Smith Extra Fine Watercolors. Gouache is uniquely formulated with higher pigment loads to achieve density and opacity without adding whites or other fillers. Gouache has exceptional lightfastness and pure, natural opacity with a full range of staining and lifting qualities. Gouache rewets, dilutes, and cleans up easily with water.

Gouache can be applied as mass tone straight from the tube to get rich, full-bodied solids with single brush strokes or can be tempered with water to create softer lines and hazy layers. Mix and blend new shades to customize your palette. Use gouache to accent your watercolor paintings with velvety shadows or bold pops of color.

Ultramarine Blue - Ultramarine Blue plots cooler and bluer than the more saturated French Ultramarine. Temperature aside, both blues have equal permanence and lightfastness. Ultramarine Blue is a historic pigment used in Egyptian tombs and was a favorite of Raphael, da Vinci, Renoir, and Michelangelo.
