Cadmium Orange Hue Extra Fine Watercolor by DANIEL SMITH

Cadmium Orange Hue Extra Fine Watercolor by DANIEL SMITH

 

We’ve done it! Safe, Vibrant Cadmium Hue Watercolors!
 
Our DANIEL SMITH Cadmium Orange Hue Extra Fine Watercolor (the best watercolor for Artists’) is  A deep, radiant orange that leans slightly towards red, with all of best qualities of Cadmium Orange but better!
 
We have developed our New Cadmium Hue Watercolors to replace our cadmiums with safer formulas that provide all the density and richness of classic cadmium colors.  Our hues are virtually identical in color to their namesakes, but cleaner in mixtures and stronger in tints, a little goes a long way.  Our Cadmium Hues working properties (staining power, semi-transparency and excellent light fastness) are also nearly identical to those of the low-soluble cadmium colors we previously offered.

You’ll notice on the tube that our Cadmium Orange Hue is labeled as a mix of three pigments, but because of a process called “co-precipitation“, the three pigments are essentially melded together and the result acts as a single pigment.  In this case, it is not true that 1 + 1 + 1 = 3, but rather 1 +1+ 1 = 1. This is a reason why our Cad Orange Hue is brighter than a mix of multiple pigments would usually be.
 
On our DANIEL SMITH Color Map, you can see how far out on the peripheral our Cadmium Orange Hue (#177) which means it is very bright, because of it’s higher chroma.
 
Our Cadmium Orange Hue has an excellent lightfast rating, is a semi-transparent, and low-staining, non-granulating watercolor.
 
  • ASTM Lightfastness Rating: Excellent
  • Transparency: Semi-transparent
  • Staining: Low-staining
  • Granulating: No

Indanthrone Blue & New Gamboge Watercolor Sticks with Pansies painted from them

Indanthrone Blue & New Gamboge Watercolor Sticks with Pansies painted from them

For a *Limited Time* we are having a “Buy One, Get One FREE” Special with our DANIEL SMITH Extra Fine Watercolor Sticks, The Best Watercolor Sticks!  So two of our wonderful Watercolor Sticks: Indanthone Blue & New Gamboge for the price of one…a great way to try them out or add to your collection. [ Sorry, this *Limited Time* Special ended July 21, 2010 ]
 
Our Watercolor Sticks are made by hand from the same pigment as our DANIEL SMITH Extra Fine Watercolors, they are just pigment and minimal binder, no waxes or clay, so the pigment releases cleanly into luminous color.  You can paint with them just as you would with pan watercolors, PLUS you can draw with them expanding your Artistic Expression!  These are VERY portable, perhaps for some journaling, or for Plein Air!
 
I have a video here so you can see a Demonstration with tips on using our DANIEL SMITH Watercolor Sticks as I paint out some Pansies using our Indanthrone Blue and New Gamboge.

Cadmium Red Medium Hue Extra Fine Watercolor by DANIEL SMITH

Cadmium Red Medium Hue Extra Fine Watercolor by DANIEL SMITH

 
Our DANIEL SMITH Cadmium Red Medium Hue Extra Fine Watercolor (the best watercolor for Artists’) is a true stop sign red with all of best qualities of Cadmium Red Medium, but better!
 
We have developed our safe, vibrant  New Cadmium Hue Watercolors to replace our cadmiums with formulas that provide all the density and richness of classic cadmium colors.  Our hues are virtually identical in color to their namesakes, but cleaner in mixtures and stronger in tints, a little goes a long way.  Our new Cadmium Red Medium Hue, is just slightly different since Cadmium Red Medium is naturally a little brownish, and we did not want to replicate that muddiness.  Our Cadmium Hues working properties (staining power, semi-transparency and excellent light fastness) are also nearly identical to those of the low-soluble cadmium colors we previously offered.

You will notice on the tube that the Cadmium Red Medium Hue is labeled as a mix of two pigments, but because of a process called “co-precipitation“, the two pigments are essentially melded together and the result acts as a single pigment.  In this case, it is not true that 1 + 1 = 2, but rather 1 +1 = 1. This is a reason why our Cad Red Med Hue is brighter than a mix of multiple pigments would usually be.
 
On our DANIEL SMITH Color Map, you can see how far out on the peripheral our Cadmium Red Medium Hue (#178) which means it is very bright, because of it’s higher chroma.
 
Our Cadmium Red Medium Hue has an excellent lightfast rating, is a semi-transparent, and low-staining, non-granulating watercolor.
 
  • ASTM Lightfastness Rating: Excellent
  • Transparency: Semi-transparent
  • Staining: Low-staining
  • Granulating: No

December 15th, 2009 categories: category, * DS ExtraFine Watercolors, * DS PrimaTek Paints, * DS PrimaTek Watercolors, * Video - products in action

 
PrimaTek paints are made from minerals finely ground into pigments and mixed into paints.  Throughout history paints were made from naturally occurring minerals, and our PrimaTek paints continue that tradition. 
 
Our Kyanite Genuine is made from Kyanite, the name is based on a Greek word for dark blue or blue enamel, and one of it’s many uses is as a gemstone.  At DANIEL SMITH, we use it to make one of our PrimaTek Watercolors. 
 
Kyanite is a blue/gray crystalline mineral that when made into our Kyanite Genuine watercolor produces a beautiful granulating blue/gray that has a subtle shimmer from the mica when dry.
 
“When ground into pigment and dispersed in water, the darker blue colors granulate and sink into the paper. The lighter, sparkling mica settles on top of this granulated blue ground….  Wash this color over your paper with plenty of water for a multi-dimensional effect or use at full strength for metallic blue steel. Kyanite Genuine gives frost icicles and snow flakes a magic touch in your winter landscapes” 
 
ASTM Lightfastness Rating: Excellent
Transparency: Transparent
Staining: Non-staining
Granulating: Yes
 
Kyanite Genuine also makes up part of our Winter Wonderland Watercolor Triad which also has Bloodstone Genuine (another PrimaTek) and Phthalo Green (YS).
