The DANIEL SMITH Limited Edition “Redwood” Extra Fine Watercolor Triad.

To step under the cool canopy of a redwood forest is to be transported to a place where trees scrape the sky and nature’s majestic beauty takes center stage. Imagine wandering through a quiet forest where massive trunks are crowned with green and the forest floor is alive with nurse logs, plants and wildlife. Daniel Smith’s new Redwood Triad pays tribute to these giants and transports you to the magical places they inhabit.
Three earthy colors define the redwood tree and provide a palette ample enough to paint a scene full of wonder and mystery. Jadeite Genuine and Sedona Genuine create a stunning combination of color and texture perfect for painting a single tree or entire stand. Versatile Sepia completes this trio as a sturdy base for rendering the shadows and shapes of the forest and beyond.
 

 
Redwood  Jadeite Genuine, a PrimaTek pigment, is a deep jade from Alaska ground into pigment perfect for the watercolorists’ palette. You will experience a dark green at masstone, so heavily pigmented it is nearly black. Adding water releases a spectrum of jade tones and intriguing granulation. This lovely jewel-like watercolor is perfect for the natural greens of the redwood and the ferns and flora of the forest floor.
Redwood Sedona Genuine, the quintessential color of the Southwest, finds a new home on the massive trunks and limbs of the giant redwoods. Made with authentic rock from the Arizona desert, this earthy red adds warmth and texture to your landscape paintings. Sedona Genuine has a bold russet masstone that can be tempered to a soft pink in washes allowing for a full range of light and dark tones.  
Redwood Sepia, completes the Redwood Triad with deep brown for shadows and shape. Give form to your forest by enhancing bark, the undersides of limbs and all of the deep nooks that make a forest mysterious. This predicable paint is easy to work with, giving you control over the dark and light values in your painting. Sepia’s intriguing color gives an ancient patina and provides enough warm brown to keep your palette harmonious
