DANIEL SMITH – WATERCOLOUR – 15ML – 038 ALIZARIN CRIMSONÂ
Alizarin Crimson is the oldest synthetic deep red-crimson pigment. It is a lake pigment which when applied in strength and kept from the direct sunlight will last for many decades. Alizarin is a treat to paint with, just the sheer joy of the depth and uniqueness of colour is invigorating. A beautiful bluish-red pigment from the staining family, Alizarin Crimson is listed on the basic palette of a vast majority of artists. Intense and dark in value, Alizarin Crimson mixes cleanly with most pigments to create dark mixtures and warm neutrals. A combination of Aureolin (Cobalt Yellow) and French Ultramarine with Alizarin renders a surprising range of other colours resembling everything from Burnt Sienna and Umber to Payne’s Grey, while Alizarin Crimson with French Ultramarine creates an intense purple.
