Naples Yellow will make you think of late Summer with it’s sunflowers, wheat fields and sunny, dry landscapes. This dusty yellow with a touch of Venetian Red is made a neutral semi-opaque with the addition of zinc oxide. More ideas for Naples Yellow would be dry yellow grasses easily brushstroked over painted fences and barns, the zinc oxide opacity aiding the Naples Yellow to show over darker colors.

This beautiful watercolor is a cool blue gray. Highly lightfast and mildly staining, Payne’s Gray is perfect for painting wet skies. Use this pigment instead of Indigo, except where yellow is involved. Payne’s Gray helps create flat ocean waters and “after the storm” clouds and skies. Rocks and granite boulders, including their shadows, can be quickly rendered with light dilute washes or more concentrated brushloads.
This DANIEL SMITH exclusive is a favorite of artists. It moves from a deep dark turquoise to a thin film of robin’s egg blue in a single wash, making a remarkable transition from ground level to sky areas of garden florals.
Use this pigment alongside purples, or to paint a lake in summer.
Starting with 10 parts water to 1 part paint (by weight) in the palette, our chemist paints the top half of the swatch uniformly with a round brush to show the paint’s color and characteristics. For the bottom half, he dips a ¾” flat brush into the paint well just once, then applies the color in stripes until the brush is dry, which shows the color’s tone and behavior through a wash. We use these swatches for color matching during the manufacturing process.

Ultramarine Blue plots cooler and bluer than the more saturated French Ultramarine. Temperature aside, both blues have equal permanence, lightfastness and transparency. Ultramarine Blue is slightly less granular in concentrated washes. For less saturation, sedimentation and cost, use Ultramarine Blue straight, for vibrant crayon-like color or mixed with a cool red for dark, effective neutrals.

Unlike other brands, DANIEL SMITH New Gamboge is an excellent lightfast formulation. It’s a transparent organic pigment from the yellow to orange zone of your color wheel. More staining than Yellow Ochre and equal in tinting ability to Raw Sienna. It’s a good substitute for those colors when transparency and non granulation is desired while avoiding thick, muddy passages.
