Daniel Smith Extra Fine^TM Watercolor - 3 Hematite Watercolor Set
Hematite or the traditional Greek name, Bloodstone - when you paint, you can almost feel the pounding of the battle drums as ancient warriors covered their bodies with Hematite in the belief that they would be protected from mortal wounds. According to lore ad superstition, large surface deposits of Hematite mark the site of hard fought battles, where the blood of fallen soldiers flowed into the ground.

The 3 Hematite Watercolor Set includes (1) 15ml tube each of

Hematite, ground from a heavy silvery-black mineral rich in iron. In a thick wash, the heavier particles settle, creating bold granulation. In a thin wash, it is a soft dove gray.

LIMITED EDITION Hematite Burnt Scarlet, with a rich rusty-orange hue. In a concentrated was, pigment settles in the low spots of the paper to create a dark violet-brown. Applied as a light wash, Hematite Burnt Scarlet yields a subtle flesh tone.

LIMITED EDITION Hematite Violet produces the same splendid texture as the standard Hematite, but the background hue is a warm violet-brown.
