DANIEL SMITH – WATERCOLOUR –Â 15ML – 200 – JANES GREYÂ
Jane’s Grey is a unique colour in the market. Most greys, whether Payne’s Grey, Neutral Tint or others, are made with a black pigment, and often phthalo blue is included. Artist Jane Blundell wanted a grey without the often-dulling effect of a black pigment, and without the staining effects of phthalo blue. She wanted a grey that was liftable and granulating to create the lovely look of stormy skies and softened shadows. It will also work as a neutral tint, darkening colours without changing them. Using a grey that is made with palette colours maintains colour harmony in an artwork. Many artists mix ultramarine blue and burnt sienna as they work, but no one was making this gorgeous mix as a convenience colour, so she did to make it easy to create rich darks with ease. Initially she mixed it in individual pans and palettes but the demand from her students meant she started to make it in tubes.
A few years ago, Jane asked Daniel Smith to make her Jane’s Grey easily available to artists everywhere. Now available as part of Daniel Smith’s Signature Series, Jane’s Grey is semi-transparent, granulating, low staining and has excellent lightfastness.
