DANIEL SMITH EXTRA FINE WATERCOLOR 15ML - COBALT GREEN PALE (S3)

Cobalt Green Pale, a green-blue, is similar in application as Cobalt Green. All inorganic, they are considered transparent and non-staining (or low-tinting) pigments which are ideal for glazing methods. Their ability to create soft edges, to lift and to mix readily made Cobalts valuable contributions to watercolor palettes.

Starting with 10 parts water to 1 part paint (by weight) in the palette, our chemist paints the top half of the swatch uniformly with a round brush to show the paint’s color and characteristics. For the bottom half, he dips a ¾” flat brush into the paint well just once, then applies the color in stripes until the brush is dry, which shows the color’s tone and behavior through a wash. We use these swatches for color matching during the manufacturing process.
