Daniel Smith Extra Fine Watercolor - Sleeping Beauty Turquoise, 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.

Sleeping Beauty Turquoise - This unique and vibrant blue comes from Sleeping Beauty Mountain in Arizona. It's lightfast and permanent with none of the transient color fade that plagues most turquoise. Turquoise has a unique porous nature that produces granular washes. Juicy washes flow from the brush and drybrush work has the intense texture found only in a mineral pigment.

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.
