Best of DANIEL SMITH - Top 5 Oil Color Favorites Set

Not only have these been selected over and over as favorite colors - most often chosen for studio and plein air palettes - but when combined as a set these five pigments are also a complete and wonderful mixing combination.

• French Ultramarine - A classic blue, French Ultramarine is a semi-transparent, intense blue, and nearly black in mass tone. A great mixer with other colors, and mixed with white makes a deep vaulted sky blue.
• Cadmium Yellow Medium Hue - We use a mixture of modern pigments to mimic classic Cadmium Yellow Medium. It's a rich, orange-leaning school bus or sunflower yellow. Very strong pigmentation means you can mix in a good deal of white and still maintain its vibrant warmth.
• Alizarin Crimson - Alizarin Crimson is a historical rich red color with blue undertones has been an important color on artists' palettes for hundreds of years, and is a “must have” for many modern painters. This cool, transparent red makes clear pinks and when mixed, makes rich darks. Our Alizarin Crimson has greater permanency than the traditional color with fair lightfastness.
• Burnt Umber - A Traditional painter's color, Burnt Umber is made by heating Raw Umber which transforms it from a dark greenish brown to a dark, brown with a hint of red tones. Burnt Umber when mixed with a bit of white becomes a warm tortoise shell brown.
• Titanium White - Opaque Titanium White is a neutral bright white, brighter than Zinc or Lead White with excellent covering ability.
• Winsor & Newton Prestretched 3/4" Deep Canvas, 9x12
