DANIEL SMITH George Politis’ Master Artist Watercolor Set – I of 6 tubes
Set I contain the main colors George uses to depict the beauty of Greece. He loves the granulation and clarity of Cerulean Blue for skies, the intensity of Indanthrene Blue, the beauty of Quinacridone Gold for underpainting and light accents, the warmth and versatility of Mayan Orange, the granulation of Green Apatite, and his most favorite Moonglow for textures, shadows and mixtures.”
Alizarin Crimson is a rich red with blue undertones that has been a historically important color on artists’ palettes for hundreds of years. A must-have for many modern painters, this cool red makes clear pinks. When mixed with colors like Phthalo Green, it makes rich darks.
