Daniel Smith Extra Fine Watercolor - Hematite Genuine, 5 ml

Daniel Smith PrimaTek Watercolors are unique paints made with authentic mineral pigments mined from the earth. They're finely processed and made into beautiful watercolors with amazing and diverse effects. Nearly all PrimaTeks have granulating properties which give them wonderful texture and depth. The PrimaTeks are gorgeous paints on their own, and they mix beautifully with other colors as well.

Hematite Genuine - Hematite is ground from a heavy silvery-black mineral rich in iron. In a thick wash the heavier particles settle, creating bold granulation; in a thin wash, it's a soft dove gray. Hematite Genuine mixes beautifully with other colors, adding its granulation and slightly neutralizing the mixed in color. Try using it to sketch branches from thick to thin, allowing the beautiful granulation to automatically provide the texture of bark.

This is a granulating color, meaning a grainy visual texture is created when the pigment particles settle and clump together rather than settling evenly on the painted surface. Granulation is more pronounced on textured papers.
