Flowing lines with just a touch of luster are the specialty of Graphite Gray. This surprising color creates the structure of the wings and beaks of the cranes. Use Iridescent Topaz to create a magical world of shimmering clouds with a gilded touch. Mayan Red adds the final note to this symphony of color with a punctuated, dramatic crimson tone. Explore a decorative style of painting or use this triad for a realistic rendition of the classic Japanese crane subject.

Mayan Red is a bold, vibrant crimson that demands attention. Rich in history and even richer in tone, this unique red is the perfect choice to color the crowns of the Japanese crane. You’ll want to add this saturated shade to your watercolor palette for floral and landscape painting. Its transparent quality and intense color make it ideal for radiant petals and rosy sunsets. Try mixing Mayan Red with trio-mate Graphite Gray for a rich, deep violet.

Iridescent Topaz puts a unique spin on metallic gold—its slightly green bias makes it a good choice when warm, brassy tones are to be avoided. This iridescent color is sure to add shine to your work. Choose a full strength application for saturated, reflective color. Washes of Iridescent Topaz are glittery with granulation of color and sparkle. Try incorporating Iridescent Topaz into your palette for added texture and movement in mixtures.

Graphite Gray is made from powdered graphite pigment, the same material found in a traditional artists pencil. Nearly black in color, this deep gray exhibits a slight metallic sheen that is more visible in heavy applications. As a wash the color and luster disperses to an even shaded tone. Try Graphite Gray for line-work or to add interest in dark, shadowy areas.
