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

I almost always buy just this brand. I have not been disappointed by a purchase yet.

Love Daniel Smith watercolor paints. In my opinion they are the best watercolor paints on the market.

Beautiful color. It is more a warm pink than coral...not peachy or oranges like most coral colors.

This paint goes onto the paper so beautifully and is such a lovely texture. Definitely good quality - when it dries out on my pallet I just spritz it with a little water and it reconstitutes perfectly - unlike many of the cheaper brands. Definitely worth the price.

Exactly what I wanted.

Liked this paint color and flow

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!

I have never had a paint so brilliant and easy to use.

Had used a sample and loved the color.

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