Daniel Smith Extra Fine Watercolor - Lapis Lazuli Genuine, 15 ml

Daniel Smith PrimaTek Watercolors are unique paints made with authentic mineral pigments mined from the earth. They're finely processed and made into beautiful watercolors with amazing and diverse effects. Nearly all PrimaTeks have granulating properties which give them wonderful texture and depth. The PrimaTeks are gorgeous paints on their own, and they mix beautifully with other colors as well.

Lapis Lazuli Genuine - Lapis Lazuli Genuine has been prized for its beauty, its mystical properties, and its perfection as a pigment. Mined in the mountains of South America, this pigment is a subtle blue-grey with a touch of golden pyrite that adds a delightful shimmer. The result is an elegant, almost three-dimensional effect that is completely different from the predictable blue of synthetic ultramarine pigments. Lapis Lazuli Genuine is at least 80% pure gem pigment suspended in a natural binder.

This is a granulating color, meaning a grainy visual texture is created when the pigment particles settle and clump together rather than settling evenly on the painted surface. Granulation is more pronounced on textured papers.
