Daniel Smith Watercolour - Janes Grey 15ml (S2)

Jane’s Grey is a unique colour in the market. Most grays, whether Payne’s Gray, Neutral Tint or others, are made with a black pigment, and often phthalo blue is included. Artist Jane Blundell wanted a gray without the often-dulling effect of a black pigment, and without the staining effects of phthalo blue. She wanted a gray that was liftable and granulating to create the lovely look of stormy skies and softened shadows. It will also work as a neutral tint, darkening colours without changing them.  Many artists mix ultramarine blue and burnt sienna as they work, but this is the first time this gorgeous mix has been made as a convenience colour in a tube.

Jane’s Grey is semi-transparent, granulating, low staining and has excellent lightfastness.
