DANIEL SMITH EXTRA FINE WATERCOLOR 15ML - JANE’S BLACK (BLUE/ORANGE) (S2)

Created by using opposites, this mixed black is transparent and non-granulating. It’s perfect for subjects where blue and orange are the dominant colors, such as pebbles and stones or colorful birds. It can be modulated by adding more Phthalo Blue (Red Shade) to create deep blues, or by adding Transparent Pyrrol Orange to create gorgeous, rich orange-browns.

Starting with 10 parts water to 1 part paint (by weight) in the palette, our chemist paints the top half of the swatch uniformly with a round brush to show the paint’s color and characteristics. For the bottom half, he dips a ¾” flat brush into the paint well just once, then applies the color in stripes until the brush is dry, which shows the color’s tone and behavior through a wash. We use these swatches for color matching during the manufacturing process.
