Black Tourmaline Genuine Watercolor by DANIEL SMITH

Black Tourmaline Genuine Watercolor by DANIEL SMITH

***
*  DANIEL SMITH Black Tourmaline Genuine Extra Fine Watercolor [ The Best Watercolor ] is part of our PrimaTek collection of straight-from-the-earth mineral pigments and was introduced February 2009. 
***
 
Black Tourmaline, a type of Tourmaline called “Schorl”, is a crystalline semi-precious black gemstone, which is a very unusual color in gemstones, and you can see a piece of it in the video below.

Our Black Tourmaline Genuine is a warm black, and has a slightly different combination of properties compared with our other black watercolors, which are all are extremely permanent:
Black Tourmaline: transparent, non-staining and granulating.
Ivory Black: semi-transparent, low staining and granulating
Lamp Black: opaque, staining, and non-granulating
Lunar Black: transparent, low staining, and granulating
 
Black Tourmaline Genuine is black in mass tone (straight from the tube) and warm grays in washes with wonderful granulation.  That granulation may be apparent even when mixed with other colors, very nice if you want some granulating effects when mixed with a non-granulating watercolor
