Daniel Smith Extra Fine Watercolor 15ml Jadeite Genuine
This exceptionally beautiful PrimaTek color is made from the more strongly colored of the two minerals known as jade--the other is Nephrite. Used for eons in China and Central America, this gemstone now becomes a spectacular artist's color. From deep, dark-green mass tone to the palest wash, it creates all the exquisite shades of jade.
DANIEL SMITH created the PrimaTek line of paints made from minerals, some semi-precious, beginning in 1998 with a cache of Lapis Lazuli. They have a mineralogist who sources minerals which we process into pigment, then mill it into watercolor. PrimaTeks express themselves with gorgeous granulation, giving a sense of movement and depth that some artists have described as magical.
Formulated to meet and exceed the highest industry standards, every batch is thoroughly analyzed for its performance qualities--lightfastness, color value, tinting strength, clarity, vibrancy, undertone, particle size, density and viscosity. Paint everything you can imagine with vibrant and consistent colors that can be easily mixed for even more variations.
