Manufacturer Description

From Daniel Smith:
A true blue, a blue’s blue. Verditer Blue is an historical pigment with a place on every palette. Begin with a dark application, a deep azure lake, and watch how this slightly granulating paint travels quickly in water. Fade to the color of cornflowers and create surprising effects in a wash. Dilute it to the palest baby blue. Enjoy every nuance of this wonderful, semi-transparent watercolor.
