284600152 Extra Fine Watercolor 15ml Paint Tube, Quinacridone, Deep Gold, 0.5 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)

This is great paint. Beautiful, rich color. I used this with my art class and students enjoyed it.

Daniel Smith is my go to brand of quality watercolor paint. (Sh ... I own over 100 colors.) I like that the paints are lightfast (resistant to fading in sun light) and highly pigmented. Also Daniel Smith has both granulating (my favorite) and non-granulating colors.

I like this color of Daniel Smith watercolor paint, just as I like all the others, for their even texture, transparency, easy blending, nice glow, permancence of color (durability), and the paints are definitely great value for the money!

Confession: My first name is Ruby, and I have had a lifelong love affair with shades of red. From burnt orange to crimson to maroon, I love them all. But Scarlet, that gorgeous warm shade of red makes me the happiest of all. Its like liquid fire (that doesn't burn), or like Michigan maple leaves in autumn, or that perfect moment at sunset when it looks like the sky might turn molten, or the glimmer of garnet chips in sunlight on a beach (I actually walked on a beach of garnets once - it was a real, if transient and rare, thing). Clearly, I am biased. I love rich earthy, firey reds. And Quinacridone Burnt Scarlet is just soooo lovely. Unfortunately my photo above just didn't capture its richness at all. *sigh* But it gives you some idea of what Daniel Smith's QBS offers. Paired with Quinacridone Gold (which is minutely swatched above) and Quin. Burnt Orange, I have been basking in all the warm brilliance that DS's Quinacridone pigments can offer. I can layer them, glaze upon glaze, without mud. I can lift them beautifully, they move wet in wet predictably and freely, they dry without losing a ton of their brilliance (though scarlet loses the most in drying shift I think, purely anecdotally). They blend into this complete range from yellow to fiery reds together with one another seamlessly, while also playing well with pretty much every other pigment I have tried them with. In a way, I am glad I missed out on the original Quin. Gold (PO49) because I imagine the heartbreak must be intense, but learning on this new blend (PO48+PY150) is probably a big reason I am addicted to watercolor painting now. The transparency of these Quinacridone pigments is astounding, and how forgiving they are to new painters with a tendency to overwork is inestimable. I know they are not "traditional" pigments per se, but at this point in my painting practice, I could not do without any of them. I can't wait to try more paintings with Quin Burnt Scarlet specifically just to see what sort of things I might achieve with it over time. I highly recommend ANY ONE of these Daniel Smith Quinacridone colors. Any one!

Beautiful color! I have never been let down by Daniel Smith paint.

Love this brand , only need a little, will Last for years, I have lots Of Colors. Great value.

I like the quality of Daniel Smith.

Daniel Smith watercolor paints never disappointe!

Never used Daniel Smith for watercolour painting and was a bit sceptical as the brand’s a bit pricey for a student / new amateur. But it really is superb, strong, creamy paint and quinacridone burnt orange is definitely up there with the most useful and most used in my palette.

Awesome vibrant and creamy texture

Amazing paint- goes a long, long way!

Beautiful colour and paint
