Daniel Smith Extra Fine Watercolor, 15 ml, Mars Yellow

These vibrant watercolors span the color spectrum from the historical pigments originally used by Renaissance masters to natural earth tones and vibrant quinacridones. To avoid instant mud in your watercolors, select lightfast Mars Yellow. This brownish yellow is low-staining, an ideal substitute for more transparent, higher staining pigments such as New Gamboge or Yellow Ochre. A wash of Mars Yellow adds gentle granulation to passages. Color-coordinate paintings using Mars Yellow with a Violet for subtle, muted warm grays.
