Daniel Smith Watercolour Paint 15ml Series 2 - Pompeii Red is a professional extra fine watercolour with a dramatic rusty red-orange hue inspired by the rich warmth of autumn leaves, sunlit earth and ancient mineral pigments. Made with PBr 7 pigment, this semi-transparent colour brings a beautiful natural glow to landscapes, botanical subjects, fabric folds, architecture and expressive earth-toned painting. Its warm burnt character makes it especially appealing for artists seeking a red earth watercolour with both strength and subtlety.

Handmade in Seattle, Washington, Daniel Smith Extra Fine Watercolours are known for their exceptional pigment quality, superior brushing properties and excellent lightfastness. Pompeii Red offers low staining behaviour and beautiful granulation, creating textured washes with natural variation and depth. This makes it ideal for adding atmosphere and surface interest to hillsides, autumn scenes, terracotta subjects, warm shadows and rustic textures. The granulating quality gives the paint a lively, earthy feel that stands out beautifully in professional watercolour work.

This 15ml Series 2 tube is a valuable addition to any watercolour palette, especially for artists who enjoy landscape painting, earthy colour schemes and expressive natural textures. Daniel Smith Pompeii Red also mixes beautifully with other colours, including Carmine, to create warm vermilion-like reds with a slight pink undertone. For artists looking for a premium earthy red-orange watercolour with granulation, permanence and rich natural warmth, Daniel Smith Pompeii Red is an excellent choice.
