Extra Fine Watercolor Paint, 5ml Tube, Phthalo Blue(RS), 284610119

This is such a fun color. I have really been enjoying my experiments with it! Daniel Smith makes some of the highest quality and most unique shades of watercolor on the market. With each one being fairly inexpensive, it is so hard not to go nuts and buy them all!

I picked up this color to expand my Daniel Smith watercolor collection, and I’m so glad I did. Neutral Tint has always been one of my favorite grays because of how effortlessly it can shade, darken, and de-saturate other colors. I already own a neutral tint from another reputable brand, but I was curious to try Daniel Smith’s version due to its semi-transparent quality. After comparing them (see photos), the differences are clear: Daniel Smith’s Neutral Tint is noticeably lighter in value and non-staining, which gives it a softer, more adaptable feel on the page. It’s easy to lift, easy to layer, and blends beautifully without overwhelming other pigments. A great addition to any palette if you love versatile, easy-to-use grays.

I just started using Daniel Smith watercolors. The colors are amazing. Very creamy and easy to work with. I have many Daniel Smith water colors, including the pans and tubes. If budget a problem, I would recommend starting with the beginner set palette, which comes with your primary colors. You can mix many colors with this pallet.

I must like this color alot, because I keep buying duplicates accidentally. I have 3 of them, 15 ml each! It's a beautiful color, great for so many flowers, canoes and kayaks, surfboards, barns, no end of subjects!

Watercolor painting has made me appreciate ochre in a way I never had before. I like using Sakura pens too, and I can attest their paints are of the same high quality.

Very interesting blue, unlike any other.

Great Product!

Daniel Smith is the best. It's made in America and top quality. Unbelievable pigments sourced from minerals, mostly, from the US. They cost more because they are top quality PIGMENTS, not dyes (that fade, dont perform as well, and glaze poorly) so this is what you get if you or someone you know is taking art seriously. These blend well with other colors, create great shadows, warm up, or cool down a color. Just blown away and very proud of this company. Asian watercolors are for Eastern "papers" & Western watercolor companies perform their best on 100% pure cotton paper, so all of this gets expensive VERY quicky! The tubes are small (most are) with watercolors because you're just staining/glazing the paper. If you're just starting out, get the Cotman field kit (Windsor & Newton) and then these if you're down for the challenge...and this will take YEARS! Most people are "beginners even @ 3 years of working with watercolors. Daniel Smith is one of the newer companies out there and I hope they have the staying power that some of the older companies do because I plan on investing (this will take time) on using this company's watercolor paints exclusively. Yep. That good. Thank you to all the people at this company for making such a high quality, beautiful selections, and original colors. This is the stuff of American dreams.

a good pigment with superior quality

great product but hard to justify the expense. Available in shopt at half the price which would be brilliant value.

Beautiful colour, tube arrived in good shape and as described. The colour is perfect for flower colours like Echinacea.

Great product. Fast service and excellent delivery. Will order again when needed.

Good quality watercolour. Arrived on time and well package to avoid leakage. Will purchase again
