Daniel Smith Watercolour Paint 15ml Series 4 - Garnet Genuine is a professional extra fine PrimaTek watercolour made with genuine garnet mineral, offering a rich warm reddish-brown hue with beautiful natural texture. Similar in colour family to Quinacridone Burnt Scarlet but with more pronounced granulation, this distinctive gemstone watercolour brings depth, character and earthy warmth to landscapes, botanicals, portrait work, autumn subjects and expressive abstract painting. Its transparent quality allows for glowing washes and layered glazes, while the mineral pigment creates lively texture and visual variation across the paper.

Handmade in Seattle, Washington, Daniel Smith Extra Fine Watercolours are renowned for their exceptional pigment quality, superior brushing properties and excellent lightfastness. Garnet Genuine is part of the PrimaTek range, created from authentic mineral pigments that produce unique effects difficult to replicate with standard synthetic colours. This colour reticulates beautifully in washes, creating unexpected patterns and organic movement that add extra interest to your painting. Its low staining behaviour also gives artists more control for lifting, layering and traditional watercolour techniques.

This 15ml Series 4 tube is a valuable addition to any professional watercolour palette, especially for artists who enjoy granulating mineral colours with a natural, earthy elegance. Daniel Smith Garnet Genuine mixes beautifully with blues such as Cerulean Blue to create soft mauves, smoky greys and sophisticated muted neutrals. For artists seeking a premium gemstone watercolour with warmth, transparency and remarkable granulating texture, Daniel Smith Garnet Genuine is a striking and inspiring choice.
