Daniel Smith Carmine is darker and more staining than Alizarin Crimson, and vastly superior in permanence. It is also much redder. This staining pigment, rich and intense, will retain its luminosity in dark passages but will dilute to produce subtle tones without reducing its permanence. The darkest of the reds, Carmine will help you achieve clear neutrals when mixed with its complement, Phthalo Green.
Daniel Smith Watercolor Sticks offer remarkably rich, vibrant colors and the same pure artists' pigments as their Extra Fine Watercolor 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 color when wet. They can also be used dry to build texture. The sticks can also be used like a traditional pan color. Try wetting your watercolor brush and lifting color directly from the surface of the stick.
Each stick offers exceptional value as one stick is equivalent to three whole pans of watercolor. The sticks can be cut down and inserted into empty half pans to use as you would a traditional pan watercolor. All the sticks are the same price and include a selection of PrimaTek colors.
This is a Daniel Smith Watercolor Paint Stick in Carmine.
