Daniel Smith - 15ml Watercolor Mixing Sets
Master color theory fundamentals with primary or secondary mixing sets
Understanding color relationships transforms your watercolor practice. These complementary sets teach mixing fundamentals through carefully selected pigments that demonstrate color theory principles while remaining genuinely useful in daily work. The Primary set provides foundation hues, Perylene Red, Hansa Yellow Medium, and French Ultramarine, that create clean secondaries without muddiness. The Secondary set adds Quinacridone Burnt Orange, Undersea Green, and Carbazole Violet to complete the color wheel.
Used together, these six colors generate remarkable range. Primary pigments mix vibrant secondaries; secondary colors create nuanced tertiary shades when combined with primaries. Daniel Smith selected modern, high-chroma pigments that maintain clarity through multiple mixing generations, teaching you how colors interact without the frustration of dull results that plague traditional student sets.
Each 15ml tube provides substantial paint for experimentation. New watercolorists build mixing confidence through systematic exploration, while experienced painters appreciate having pure, intense versions of essential hues. The sets work independently or together, offering flexibility whether you're learning foundational color theory or expanding your existing palette with complementary options that harmonize naturally.
