Daniel Smith Watercolour Paint 15ml Series 2 - Quinacridone Sienna is a professional extra fine watercolour prized for its glowing transparent orange-brown hue, exceptional clarity and beautiful glazing ability. Richer and finer than many traditional burnt sienna colours, Quinacridone Sienna offers artists a luminous earth colour that sits between yellow and red on the palette, making it ideal for landscapes, skin tones, autumn foliage, warm architectural details, botanicals and expressive natural light effects. Its transparent character allows light to travel through each wash, creating the radiant depth and clean layering that professional watercolour artists look for.

Handmade in Seattle, Washington, Daniel Smith Extra Fine Watercolours are renowned for their high pigment load, superior brushing properties and excellent lightfastness. Quinacridone Sienna is made with PO48, PY150 and PR209 pigments, producing a highly durable colour with vivid intensity and low staining behaviour. It works especially well in glazing techniques, where its fine quinacridone particles create beautiful transparent layers without muddying. This makes it an excellent choice for traditional watercolour painters as well as artists who enjoy building luminous passages through multiple controlled washes.

Daniel Smith Quinacridone Sienna is also a highly versatile mixing colour. Because it falls on the orange line and is easy to modify, it mixes cleanly without producing unwanted grey undertones. It performs especially well over damp underpaintings and alongside deeper colours such as Indigo or Payne's Gray, where it can create complex, atmospheric effects and sophisticated warm neutrals. This 15ml Series 2 tube is a valuable addition to any professional watercolour palette, offering the transparency, warmth and refined colour behaviour that make Quinacridone Sienna a favourite for glazing, layering and expressive fine art painting.
