Daniel Smith Extra Fine Watercolor, 5 ml, Phthalo Blue, Green Shade

I love Daniel Smith watercolors in the tube. I was recently commissioned to make a piece for a wedding which involves a landscape honoring the places where the couple each grew up. A fall blueberry field will be featured in all its glorious reds. I had the reds but needed some texture loving paints to supplement what I had. It is a WIP but I'm loving the hematite genuine to glaze over it. The Green apatite genuine for the foliage, and the Quinacridone Gold to brighten up the edges. Such fun.

I use so much of this color. One of my big 3 colors. This version is a gorgeous blue color that is perfect for nearly everything. I use it a lot for night skies or deep water. It plays beautifully with other colors as well. I cannot express how much I love this color or how much I use it. For me this is one of the must have colors in a palette.
