Daniel Smith Watercolor Sticks

These innovative sticks are a new and exciting way to use watercolor! They are made from the same superior pigment used in Daniel Smith watercolor paints and have the same grain, transparency, tint and light resistance properties. They are a significant addition to every artist's palette, providing more creative possibilities. They offer exactly the same superior intensity as watercolors pans and produce rich and vibrant colors. They are practical and easy to use, you can hold them comfortably and use them as a fun and expressive tool to draw directly with watercolors. The tip can be sharpened for more precise use. You can add water to the splinters and turn them into liquid paint in a small container. With these sticks you can draw directly on dry or wet paper for different line characteristics, soften your lines with a wet brush and mix colors with a wet brush on the paper and in the stick itself. Create light washings using the brush by adding water and build layers for rich, saturated colors. Draw, add details and create textures over the painted areas. Each stick has a performance equivalent to 3 watercolor pads, which adds excellent durability potential.
