They're highly reactive with water and release rich, creamy colors. Ideal for sketching, developing color values, and building expressive marks, Daniel Smith Watercolor Sticks combine the best of drawing with painting. They're ideal for mixed media.

Imperial Purple - Imperial Purple unlocks a wealth of color and is rich in texture with high saturation that will granulate to reveal shades of plum and ultramarine. From the deepest purple, this semi-transparent and low-staining watercolor continues to deliver as it is applied in ever more delicate washes to the palest lavender. This regal pigment is palette royalty offering garden irises the royal treatment and kissing the sunset with the softest touch.

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.
