DANIEL SMITH Extra Fine™ Terre Verte Watercolor 15 ml. - World`s finest artists` paints

Terre Verte, roughly translated as green earth, is a classic green that has been used by artists since antiquity. Transparent and non-staining, Terre Verte is a lightfast formulation of Viridian and Raw Umber. Use with Undersea Green and Raw Umber Violet for natural-looking landscapes. Terre Verte is a slightly granular earthy green, leaning toward teal. Easy to handle, easy to look at. 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.
