Daniel Smith Extra Fine Watercolor - Purpurite Genuine, 15 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.

Purpurite Genuine - Purpurite Genuine is an intensely lavender violet that paints smoothly and easily but also granulates subtly. It is semi-transparent with low staining levels, so it offers great versatility. This mineral has a naturally occurring, low luster, silky sub-metallic sheen which allows your painting to take on additional dimension as the light interacts with your washes and glazes.

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.
