DANIEL SMITH Extra Fine Watercolor Paint, 15ml Tube, Quinacridone Coral, 284600088

Extra fine watercolor is very correct in naming this brand. I love this. I would love every color of this brand in my watercolor collection!

always great

I suspect this colour or something very similar is in every pallets of people using Daniel Smith paints. Very useful for everything from earth tones to golden skies.

I truly love the Daniel Smith Line of watercolors, they lend vibrant colors that are exciting to work with and work well with any other quality watercolor that is offered.

I previously used Winsor & Newton quinacridone magenta that I liked but it was expensive for the size of the tube. So when I needed to reorder this pigment, I chose the Daniel Smith brand. I’m very happy with this paint. It’s bright, translucent paint that rewets beautifully and stays put when glazing over it. This paint mixes especially nice with other colors making colors from dark greys to vivid oranges. It is beautiful when painted with several glazes! With Daniel Smith, I’ve come to know the brand for interesting, vivid, and highly pigmented paint. I have several other colors from this company, and I’m equally pleased with the other paints.

This paint is light fast and has the pink punch of Opera Rose.

Just as described. Would buy from this seller again

Finest water color paint . Nice rich colour . Love this product

Confession: My first name is Ruby, and I have had a lifelong love affair with shades of red. From burnt orange to crimson to maroon, I love them all. But Scarlet, that gorgeous warm shade of red makes me the happiest of all. Its like liquid fire (that doesnt burn), or like Michigan maple leaves in autumn, or that perfect moment at sunset when it looks like the sky might turn molten, or the glimmer of garnet chips in sunlight on a beach (I actually walked on a beach of garnets once - it was a real, if transient and rare, thing). Clearly, I am biased. I love rich earthy, firey reds. And Quinacridone Burnt Scarlet is just soooo lovely. Unfortunately my photo above just didnt capture its richness at all. *sigh* But it gives you some idea of what Daniel Smiths QBS offers. Paired with Quinacridone Gold (which is minutely swatched above) and Quin. Burnt Orange, I have been basking in all the warm brilliance that DSs Quinacridone pigments can offer. I can layer them, glaze upon glaze, without mud. I can lift them beautifully, they move wet in wet predictably and freely, they dry without losing a ton of their brilliance (though scarlet loses the most in drying shift I think, purely anecdotally). They blend into this complete range from yellow to fiery reds together with one another seamlessly, while also playing well with pretty much every other pigment I have tried them with. In a way, I am glad I missed out on the original Quin. Gold (PO49) because I imagine the heartbreak must be intense, but learning on this new blend (PO48+PY150) is probably a big reason I am addicted to watercolor painting now. The transparency of these Quinacridone pigments is astounding, and how forgiving they are to new painters with a tendency to overwork is inestimable. I know they are not traditional pigments per se, but at this point in my painting practice, I could not do without any of them. I cant wait to try more paintings with Quin Burnt Scarlet specifically just to see what sort of things I might achieve with it over time. I highly recommend ANY ONE of these Daniel Smith Quinacridone colors. Any one!

Top of the line paints!
