Daniel Smith Essentials Set

First up, the Daniel Smith Essentials set. This set small but mighty set of 6 colors changed my watercolor life for the better. I finally “get” warm vs cool colors and mixing. WOO!

Find my full review of this set right HERE! And feast your eyes on the colors you can get with this set — and you can easily make more variations in tone and hue, too!

If you really want to splurge and get to mixing, pick up the Ultimate Mixing set HERE, and then get yourself over to Jane Blundell’s website and pick up her book. You won’t regret it!

Cascade Green

If you’ve followed me on my watercolor journey for a while now you’ll know that I usually like to mix my own colors. But Daniel Smith’s cascade green is like magic in a tube!

A lil sneaky peek at a dino-mite set coming from Ellen Hutson later this month!

According to Daniel Smith’s website, cascade green is a mix of PB15 phthalo blue, (found in the Essentials set) and PBr7, which is a range of colors from raw sienna through burnt sienna and the umbers. I don’t know which particular PBr7 that was used. All I know is that it’s gorgeous!

And it’s perfect for coloring dinosaurs all in one swoop! I mean, look at that texture and granulation on her skin would ya! That’s 100% pure cascade green — no other colors added!

This is also the perfect green for pines and I LOVE how when used in watery mixes bits of blue are revealed.

PS. I’ve got a video planned for you on coloring the dino so stay tuned!

Indanthrone Blue

Oh Indie blue, how I love you! This blue makes the most glorious stormy skies and backgrounds for stamping!

Another sneaky peek at some upcoming Essentials by Ellen stamps!
