Daniel Smith : Watercolour Paint Stick : Ivory Black

Daniel Smith Ivory Black is a warm, semi-transparent leaning to an opaque pigment. Historically, this black was derived from burnt ivory from a now endangered species. Thankfully, this is no longer the practice. Ivory Black touched with yellow creates a blackened green excellent for backlit foliage. Think Sumi and hand-painted stone lithographs. This colour can be used to darken transparent pigments.

Daniel Smith Watercolour Sticks offer remarkably rich, vibrant colours and the same pure artists' pigments as their Extra Fine Watercolour Paint. They are very portable and long lasting and make excellent on-the-go painting tools. Each stick is packed with pure pigment and produces vibrant, strong colour when wet. They can also be used dry to build texture. The sticks can also be used like a traditional pan colour. Try wetting your watercolour brush and lifting colour directly from the surface of the stick.

Each stick offers exceptional value as one stick is equivalent to three whole pans of watercolour. The sticks can be cut down and inserted into empty half pans to use as you would a traditional pan watercolour. All the sticks are the same price and include a selection of PrimaTek colours.
