Cascade Green a Daniel Smith exclusive, is a watercolor rich in tone and character. At full strength this emerald green is dark and mysterious. Add water to create washes that move and granulate into a spectrum of deep green and blue tones. Paint wet-into-wet and watch as the lovely branches of a spruce take shape with realistic texture. You’ll love the surprising effects this unique watercolor brings to your palette.

Pyrrol Red is a smooth, modern pigment with excellent working properties. This bright, cherry-red hue is cheerful and energetic. Use it full-strength for a festive touch or create a subtle statement with a light pink wash by adding water. A true mid-range red, Pyrrol Red is an excellent choice for mixtures. Try it with Cascade Green for a deep, nearly black, plum shade. Use with Iridescent Gold for a sparkling apricot.

Iridescent Gold is the highlight of this holiday set. Bring a playful dash of glittering gold to your page or make a serious statement using this watercolor for an illuminated alphabet. Extremely versatile, Iridescent Gold can be a sweet pixie dust or a sophisticated gilded icon halo. Use full-strength for a smooth and reflective surface or thin with water for a subtle sparkling effect. Experiment by adding a light glaze of Iridescent Gold to landscapes for a sunny spotlight. Highlight skin tones by adding soft luminescence to portraits.
