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

Experience a saturated yellow with a rich history, you’ll love its transparency and smooth working properties. A natural looking yellow with a very slight green-brown cast – great for foliage highlights! This stunning watercolor revives the bold color used by the ancient Mayan people to adorn their murals and sculpture. Now using an eco-friendly process, with methods derived directly from the ancient Mayans, this unique, metal-free pigment is available to you. Its versatility, durability and exquisite hue will make it a color you’ll reach for again and again. 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.
