Daniel Smith Extra Fine Watercolor 15ml Sicklerite Genuine
A wonderful neutral, cocoa brown. Named for the mineral collectors who discovered it in San Diego County in 1912, Sicklerite Genuine displays beautiful granulation and lets down from a dark chocolate brown to a soft cafe au lait. A true neutral, it tones down bright colors, creating color harmony with seductive texture. Try mixing it with French Ultramarine for an atmospheric blue-gray or Sleeping Beauty Turquoise Genuine for a soft ocean green.
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.
