Extra Fine Watercolor Paint, 15ml Tube, Lunar Black, 284600049, 0.5 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)

Very nice color. As usual you cannot go wrong with Daniel smith!

This is a very granulating greenish black color. Due to the paint's nature, it is not terribly concentrated, but the paint's unique, lovely, jagged granulating/clumping effect is well worth the price. If placed in a palette to use as a pan color, it takes longer than most colors to re-wet.

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. ❤️

the best aquarelle paints i’ve ever used if you're looking to get the water to work for you, these paints bleed and spread like no other. i got these to try my hand at effects like Nicolas Lopez and if your paint and paper are quality (thick on thick) and you have a proper fine mist sprayer….the effect is incredible (below is a first run)

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.

A useful green color for landscape

Daniel Smith paint is always top quality. My tube of paint surprisingly was not in any box to protect it however it was not damaged thankfully.

Highly pigmented and blends well.

Wonderful rich colour, it started me to paint bowls of oranges.

Daniel Smith ziemlich teuer, aber es lohnt sich

speedy delivery well packaged and exactly as described

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