My amazing artist friend Gentian from the blog Drawing With a Squirrel sent me this amazing care package of Daniel Smith Watercolor paints (and pens too!) that I had been wanting to try.
- In the tube, Daniel Smith Pyrrol Scarlet. I'm trying to find an alternative to my Holbein Cadmium Red Deep.
- Daniel Smith Organic Vermillion - another red alternative
- Daniel Smith Pthalo Blue (RS) - I am TOTALLY loving this color. Probably going to ditch my Ultramarines... (Too light)
- Daniel Smith Transparent Pyrrol Orange - I was already using this one and totally loving it. One of my fav colors from Daniel Smith.
- Daniel Smith Qinacridone Violet - Liking this.. need to compare to the violets I already have.
- Daniel Smith Moonglow - Unsure of this one.... Reminds me of Diamine's Damson ink.
- Daniel Smith Qinacridone Red - a pinky red that I'm totally loving!
- Daniel Smith Opera Pink - how can I NOT love this color!
- Daniel Smith Carbazole Violet - very, very purple.
- Uniball Signo 207 Black - Love the Uniball pens!
- Blue-Black Uniball Signo .5 - Hadn't seen the Blue-Black before and I am totally in love....

Your welcome! I love the Phthalo Blue Red Shade. It's one of my favourites along with their Inadthrone blue :D
I really like moonglow for shadows. (I use it a lot for that reason.) It also works great as a mixing colour. Sometimes it can create really unique textures if combined with Phthalo Blue and Prussian Blue. Nice with greens too. :)
What gorgeous colors!
I am hooked to my liquid watercolors but these sure look bright too!
I have some Daniel Smith watercolours too, they are really fantastic to use. I have some of these colours, they are very beautiful together :-)
