Greys are the workhorse of many artists, used to create lines, shadows, details and light effects. While some painters use a basic grey (a mixture of black and white), most artists use complementary colour mixes or black pigmented paint modified with another colour to create greys with variations within them &#8211; just as grey appears in real life. Choosing whether you want a warm, cool or neutral grey can set the whole atmosphere of your painting. With that in mind Daniel Smith has collaborated with three artists to create six tube grey watercolours, each of which produces a unique effect, giving you a quick base to use by itself or to mix in with your normal watercolour palette.<\/big><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><a href=\"#danielsmithgreys\">Daniel Smith New Grey Signature Series Watercolours:<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#alvarogrey\">Alvaro&#8217;s Warm Grey and Cool Grey<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#janegrey\">Jane Blundell\u2019s Non-staining, Non-dulling Grey<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#josephgrey\">Joseph Zbukvic\u2019s Neutral Grey, Warm Grey and Cool Grey<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div id=\"danielsmithgreys\">\n<hr \/>\n<h2><a href=\"https:\/\/www.jacksonsart.com\/daniel-smith-watercolour-paints\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Daniel Smith new Signature Series Grey Watercolours<\/a><\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1393522\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1393522\" style=\"width: 800px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1393522\" src=\"https:\/\/www.jacksonsart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/daniel-smith-grey.jpg\" alt=\"daniel smith grey\" width=\"800\" height=\"836\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.jacksonsart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/daniel-smith-grey.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.jacksonsart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/daniel-smith-grey-287x300.jpg 287w, https:\/\/www.jacksonsart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/daniel-smith-grey-768x803.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.jacksonsart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/daniel-smith-grey-620x648.jpg 620w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1393522\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Daniel Smith Six New Watercolour Greys<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Daniel Smith have created a new signature series of colours including 6 greys, in collaboration with artists, to help encompass some of the infinite range of tones and allow artists to complete their perfect palette with premixed tubes.<\/p>\n<p>These six new grey colours have been designed by three world-renowned artists so that there is a full range that artists can trust to choose from.

It needed to be liftable and granulating to create stormy skies and soft shadows as well as being a neutral tint that could darken colours without changing their temperature.<\/p>\n<p>Part of the importance of this is the desire by artists to use a grey that maintains the colour harmony within a palette and artwork &#8211; this is often done by mixing ultramarine blue and burnt sienna, however, it\u2019s unusual to get this as a convenience colour.
