Our Watercolor Sticks are a recent innovation offering artists a new and expressive way to paint and draw with watercolors! The Watercolor Sticks are available in 51 of our most popular DANIEL SMITH Watercolors and are made with the exact same pigments. There are no fillers or waxes - they are made with DANIEL SMITH paint pigment and gum arabic, shaped into a convenient stick form and dried. They are highly reactive with water, similar to pan paints (1 Watercolor Stick equals 3 full pans), and easily release our beautiful DANIEL SMITH watercolor paint with a touch of a wet brush, or when drawn onto wet paper. The Watercolor Sticks are like a “Pan in Your Hand” and are perfect for plein air, travel journaling, the studio, wherever you like to paint! The ultimate low-staining glazing pigment, finer than any Burnt Sienna. For the traditional and purist watercolor painter, Quinacridone Sienna divides yellows from reds, falling on the orange line. Its place on the color chart makes Quinacridone Sienna a complement-free pigment, easy to modify without revealing a hidden gray. Quinacridone Sienna works especially well in damp underpaintings overpainted with full-bodied pigments such as Indigo or Payne's Gray. The fine clear Quinacridone particles collect and retreat, giving way to compressed pools surrounded by the premixed grays. Highly durable and extremely transparent, all the DANIEL SMITH Quinacridone colors excel in vivid clarity and intensity. Excellent Ligthtfastness, Transparent, Granulating, Low staining PO 48, PY 150, PR 209 Conforms to ASTM D4236
