Daniel Smith Anthraquinoid Red 15ml Extra Fine Watercolor 284600005

Daniel Smith Anthraquinoid Red is a warm violet-red, slightly granular, super-staining vat pigment. It is bold and dashing. Deep and cool enough for a variation on shadow tones. Mix with water to achieve a whisper of cool red perfect for rosy skies and blushing cheeks. A transparent color, Anthraquinoid Red glazes beautifully for added richness and depth. It offers artists a vibrant, luminous pigment that retains its excellent permanency rating even in thin washes.

Swatch info: Starting with 10 parts water to 1 part paint (by weight) in the palette, the chemist painted the top half of the swatch uniformly with a round brush to show the paint’s color and characteristics. For the bottom half, a  0.75-inch flat brush was dipped into the paint well just once, then the color was applied in stripes until the brush was dry, which shows the color’s tone and behavior through a wash.
