Aussie Red Gold

Beautiful color and of course Daniel Smith quality. Highly recommend.

Highly pigmented and blends well.

Best pigment on the market, in my opinion. I’ve been using Daniel Smith for more years than I care to admit. Totally reliable product!

Overall, DS watercolors are excellent to work with. The colors are intense and have an extensive range. Be careful when initially opening new tubes, as some colors will expand out of the tube quickly. This Cobalt Teal Blue is a beautiful teal blue and great for mixing.

Yes: PR83 is basically disappearing ink. But you will enjoy painting with it SO MUCH that it will not matter. This is handprint.com's most hated pigment, I know, but it is really unbeatable for (as handprint says) best "psychological red" ever. DS is a good brand for alizarin (cheap for me), but maybe even student paint PR83 is what can make you fall in love with watercolour painting! It GLOWS! I'll keep buying this fugitive paint (and really, if you do scrapbooks, or make prints of your paintings, it lasts "long enough"). As for permanents, they SUCK. Ignore handprint when it says, "use perylene maroon!" (PR 179) because that's some orange brown MUCK that I've learned to detest. Imo, the ones that suck "least" (for a crimson that "glows" pink), is a few brands PR 264 (duh: pyrrol crimson) which M. Graham even calls "Permanent Aliz Crimson" but it's "sticky" to paint with; Schminke calls theirs "Ruby Red Deep" and it's the closest I've found to Alizarin Crimson and why Schminke doesn't market Ruby Red Deep as "Perm Aliz Crimson" is beyond me. They could make bank changing the name! Winsor and Newton's Perm. Aliz Crimson is a "go to" for many (if you don't want to waste your money)... but I find their crimson (PR 206, quin burnt scarlet) trends BROWN, and doesn't even look like Aliz Crimson (PR 83) unless you paint at mass tone and aren't looking for the original's mostly-water "pink". But even when you find your acceptable crimson, NO PAINT will ever match PR 83 for pure joy of painting. It lifts cleanly off cotton paper, it blends down to the strange/amazing pink undertone that is just unmatchable, and I think all watercolourists should keep tubes of PR 83 on their palettes for their down-in-the-dumps days. Even WASHES are beautiful! Give it to kids and watch their minds get blown as they see what this paint can DO! (Just take a picture of the painting and get rid of the original before kids see their lovely paintings go bye-bye from this fugitive pigment). It makes opera pink look WEAK and lasts longer than opera pink! Get the PR 83. ❤️

You can't go wrong with Daniel Smith paints. The color is beautiful. It mixes well with other colors or perfect by its self.

Gorgeous color!

Just what she wanted!

Daniel Smith ziemlich teuer, aber es lohnt sich

Sehr schönes granulierendes Dunkelgrau, sehr ergiebig. Lässt sich auch nach mehreren Tagen Trocknung verwenden wie frisch aus der Tube.

Ich liebe es mit den Aquarellfarben von Daniel Smith zu arbeiten. Die Farbe ist so schön, eine echte Empfehlung wenn man viel Landschaftsbilder malt.

As ever, Daniel Smith paints never fail on quality and this is no exception. Beautiful colour.
