Daniel Smith Watercolor Stick, Alizarin Crimson, 12ml

Alizarin Crimson, the oldest synthetic deep red-crimson pigment, is a lake pigment that can last for many decades when applied in strength and kept from direct sunlight. The sheer joy of the depth and uniqueness of its color is invigorating to paint with. As a beautiful bluish-red pigment from the staining family, Alizarin Crimson is listed on the basic palette of a vast majority of artists. Intense and dark in value, it mixes cleanly with most pigments to create dark mixtures and warm neutrals. A combination of Aureolin (Cobalt Yellow) and French Ultramarine with Alizarin Crimson renders a surprising range of other colors resembling everything from Burnt Sienna and Umber to Payne's Gray, while Alizarin Crimson with French Ultramarine creates an intense purple.
