This set includes six 5ml tubes of Daniel Smith Primatek Watercolour. PrimaTek Watercolours are made from minerals, often semi precious minerals, that have been ground into pigments, mixed with gum arabic (the binder) and milled into PrimaTek Watercolours. The first was Lapis Lazuli Genuine in 1998, since then, many more have been added such as Amethyst Genuine, Piemontite Genuine and Serpentine Genuine. Most of these colours have wonderful granulating effects that some artists have called 'magical'.

Good value for the set, and only one colour I won't use now that I've swatched them. The granulation on the hematite is so intense that it's almost impossible to get a smooth wash or blend on it, so it just won't suit my style of painting, but the others are gorgeous, and to be honest, I was only tempted to buy some of the PrimaTek colours at all after I got one of the dot swatch cards which let me try a few of them. Unsurprisingly, the consistency straight from the tube can be quite thick and uneven, so if you're squeezing them out into pans as I do, you'll probably need to mix and prod them into place with a pick - they don't settle with a gentle tap or two.

I previously tried a number of the Primatek colours including Rhodonite (which I use a lot of) and loved them but wasn't sure about ordering this set. i decided to take the plunge as I was Intending to buy the piemontite and jadeite separately as well as replace my tube of Rhodonite. I decided that for not much extra outlay I could try 3 additional colours. I am so pleased i did. I was not expecting to enjoy the amethyst and mayan blue as much as I do. Really pleased with this selection ...... if i could make a change it would be to swap the Hematite for Hematite Burnt Scarlet..... but its no big deal. (Posted on 03/02/2020)

Oh my goodness! What amazing sparkly watercolour paints! I played with them the entire afternoon on the day they arrived.
They blend well with other paint colours as well. (Posted on 24/04/2019)

Well, let's put it this way; I now know what colors I will be using for the next few months. Excellent pigmentation and appealing granulation in most of those (Posted on 04/02/2019)

Lovely set to try a range of Primatek colours. I really like the hematite (which is mostly black/grey, very little brown in it). I'm a bit disappointed by the Mayan Blue - nice colour, a bit weak. However, I've squeezed the paint into a half pan and on drying it's reduced about 50% in volume! It would be far too expensive to use. Might try the Mayan Dark Blue instead.
Amethyst - it's a beautiful colour with sparkly bits :) (Posted on 03/05/2017)

Lovely colours - a watercolourist can never have too many of those subtle shades. The colour dissolves really well and goes a long way. (Posted on 23/01/2017)

Beautiful paints, all are transparent and granulating. Piedmontese is reddish but has unusual bluish granulation, amethyst has silvery sparkling specks. A gorgeous set - I hope they will increase the number of primatek colours sold in 5ml tubes (especially lapis lazuli and the turquiose, please! (Posted on 23/10/2015)
