Indigo

DANIEL SMITH's Indigo formula combines Indanthrone Blue with Lamp Black to produce an extremely lightfast, intense dark that closely resembles true Indigo. Transparent yet highly pigmented, this Indigo leaves a subtle faded blue denim stain when blotched from damp paint. Subjects like blueberries, blackberries, and plums are ideal for experimenting with this technique. Use Indigo whenever dusty purples are needed. It also evokes atmospheric depth, making it perfect for expressive, moody skies. Apply flowing short strokes of Indigo into water, and add touches of Sepia and Quinacridone Burnt Orange to depict branches and birch trees. Historically, Indigo has been a significant blue dye since ancient Egyptian times, important in fabrics and art materials, though not as lightfast as DANIEL SMITH’s Indigo Watercolour. Natural Indigo, called anil, is derived from the indigofera plant's sprigs. In the late 1600s, the primary source was the French West Indies, where large indigofera crops were grown and harvested just before flowering. After harvesting, the plants were processed in vats, filtered in water, and then dried into cakes for export.

Both Ultramarine Blue and French Ultramarine contain pigment PB29. However, Ultramarine features a smaller particle size, making it slightly
greener and cooler, whereas French Ultramarine has a larger particle size and leans slightly redder and warmer.

This sky-blue inorganic pigment is beautiful on its own and even more appealing when mixed with a transparent pigment. It has a granular texture and a medium-light value. Known for its high permanence and low staining, Cerulean Blue produces lively granulation and settling washes. When a small amount of Cerulean Blue is added to a damp wash of Burnt Sienna, it creates a halo effect around the denser colour, which is especially effective when combined with Quinacridone Gold or Quinacridone Burnt Orange in the underpainting. This technique is ideal for depicting lichen and Spanish moss. Incorporate DANIEL SMITH-exclusive colours such as Buff Titanium, Undersea Green, and Lunar Black for greater creative possibilities.

Perylene Maroon

Perylene Maroon is a deeply staining, dark red-brown pigment. The vibrant Perylene Maroon produces luminous washes that appear to glow and seem to emerge from a saturated source into sunlight patches. Like other staining pigments, it works well for creating organic textures by applying salt and lifting pigment for highlights. Its semi-transparent quality makes Perylene Maroon particularly suitable for creating rich browns.

Gray Titanium is a mid-tone warm gray with a slight yellow hue. It is semi-transparent, granulating, non-staining, and has excellent
lightfastness. Its colour and texture make it ideal for depicting dusty desert animals like deer, elephants, and tortoises, as well as birds with camouflaged feathers that blend into dry woodlands, savannas, and deserts, such as roadrunners and burrowing owls. In landscapes, Gray Titanium's granulation works beautifully for light-colored, textured tree and shrub trunks, branches, and twigs. It is also useful in urban scenery, where light washes can resemble concrete structures. As a single pigment, Gray Titanium mixes well with other colours, adding warmth and softness due to its semi-transparent nature.

Enviro Friendly Red Iron Oxide

This versatile red-brown appears as a deep brick hue when at full strength. In lighter washes, it reveals a warm, transparent, earthy rose. It’s an ideal brown-pink shade for portraiture, mimicking the natural red tint on cheeks and lips. DANIEL SMITH Enviro-Friendly Watercolours are eco-conscious; although the colours aren’t green, the process is! These paints are made from pigments sourced from the earth’s crust using Iron Oxide Recovery (IOR). This process removes coloured iron oxides from mine water, reducing pollution and cleaning it so it can safely re-enter streams, thereby promoting a cleaner environment. The recovered iron oxide is carefully washed and used to produce a range of rich colours, from a warm golden yellow to a deep red earth tone and a vibrant dark brown with a bluish undertone. These reclaimed and refined pigments offer an earth-friendly choice without compromising on colour quality.

Low-staining and lightfast, this semi-transparent
black-brown is a fundamental palette colour. When applied in concentrated strokes, it has a rich, deep appearance, but it can also be diluted to a subtle mushroom tone. You can observe this transition in washes, from near to far or shadow to light, especially in plowed fields and farm scenes.

Graphite Gray

Exploring this colour reveals some unexpected pigment qualities beyond its obvious opacity. Graphite Gray disperses easily and rapidly in water, making it an intriguing technique for floating the dense pigment on the surface or into a wet wash. Applying a dry brush stroke followed
quickly by a wet one can spread some pigment, creating a dry-brush-like texture. This approach works well for aged and weathered wood, fence posts, and old buildings. Try this: over a value sketch, add a light glaze. Since graphite pencil is perfectly acceptable in watercolour, using synthetic graphite pigment like Graphite Gray feels quite natural.

Jane’s Grey

Jane’s Grey stands out as a distinctive colour in the market. Unlike most grays—such as Payne’s Gray, Neutral Tint, or others—which typically contain black pigment and often include phthalo blue, Jane Blundell sought a gray that avoided the dulling effects of black and the staining tendencies of phthalo blue. She desired a gray that is liftable and granulating, perfect for depicting stormy skies and soft shadows. It also
serves as a neutral tint that darkens colours without altering their hue. Using a gray made from palette colours helps maintain colour harmony in artworks. Although many artists mix ultramarine blue and burnt sienna for rich darks, no ready-made option existed for this beautiful blend, so she created it for convenience. She initially mixed it in pans and palettes, but as demand grew, she produced it in tubes. A few years ago, Jane approached DANIEL SMITH to make Jane’s Grey widely available. Now part of our Signature Series, Jane’s Grey is semi-transparent, granulating, low-staining, and highly lightfast.
