Daniel Smith Watercolour Paint 15ml Series 2 - Yavapai is a professional extra fine watercolour made from genuine Arizona rock, offering a warm reddish yellow-brown earth tone with a natural character similar to sienna. This beautiful mineral colour is ideal for landscapes, desert scenes, sandstone, earthy architecture, skin tones, rustic subjects and natural shadow work. Its transparent quality allows artists to build luminous washes and layered glazes while still enjoying the rich, grounded warmth of a genuine mineral pigment.

Handmade in Seattle, Washington, Daniel Smith Extra Fine Watercolours are renowned for their exceptional pigment quality, superior brushing properties and excellent lightfastness. Yavapai is part of the PrimaTek tradition of distinctive mineral-based colours and offers a surprisingly smooth texture in washes despite its granulating nature. This creates a refined balance between clarity and natural surface variation, giving artists the ability to achieve both glowing transparent passages and subtle earthy texture in the same painting.

As a non-staining watercolour, Daniel Smith Yavapai offers greater control for lifting and glazing, making it a versatile choice for traditional watercolour techniques as well as expressive, layered painting. Its warm mineral undertone mixes beautifully with blues, greens, reds and other earth colours to create sophisticated neutrals, sunlit browns and atmospheric natural hues. For artists seeking a unique transparent earth colour with genuine mineral character, beautiful granulation and excellent permanence, Daniel Smith Watercolour Paint 15ml Series 2 - Yavapai is a striking and valuable addition to any professional watercolour palette.
