“The DANIEL SMITH Limited Edition “Quaking Aspen” Extra Fine Watercolor Triad
A light breeze weaves through a grove of quaking aspen creating mysterious music and stirring a cascade of gold and green fluttering. At the tips of high branches leaves like gold coins seem to tremble in the light. Dancing limbs and a rustling song are the hallmarks of this beloved tree, the inspiration for Daniel Smith’s new Quaking Aspen Triad.” 
Quaking Aspen  Raw Umber, an earthy deep brown that is a standard color on many artists’ palettes. Its basic brown hue makes it an indispensable watercolor for landscape paintings and shadows. Use Raw Umber to anchor the ethereal leaves of your quaking aspen by creating a strong trunk and limbs. A light wash has subtle granulation and color to give your tree form, use at full strength for the dark gashes and knots characteristic of this trees’ trunk.
Quaking Aspen Green Gold, a light filled green that glows. This jewel-like, completely transparent color is a very warm green that adds a splash of light to plants and landscapes. Brighten up your work by using Green Gold as a glaze over other colors or let the white of your paper shine through for a stunning statement. At full strength, Green Gold is a light olive. In washes or finer applications this smooth, flowing green sings. 
Quaking Aspen Permanent Yellow Deep, a rich and sturdy yellow that never looks washed out or dull. Used at full strength it yields a bright tangerine hue, light washes are a soft peach. A warm and golden tone makes this yellow ideal for the fiery orange-yellows of the fall landscape. Touch the tips of limbs with a dab of brightness for perfectly shimmering leaves
