Daniel Smith Extra Fine Gouache 15ml - Carmine

Darkest of the reds, Carmine will help you achieve clear neutrals when mixed with its complement, Phthalo Green. It’s darker and more staining than Alizarin Crimson. Series 2.

Daniel Smith Extra Fine Gouache is a professional artist-grade water media that produces an opaque matte finish. Made with the same high-quality pigments and gum arabic as Daniel Smith Extra Fine Watercolours, Gouache is uniquely formulated with higher pigment loads to achieve density and opacity without adding whites or other fillers.

Whether your painting style is abstract, representational, illustrative or figurative, you’ll enjoy the creative versatility of Gouache. Apply it as mass tone straight from the tube to get rich, full-bodied solids with single brush strokes. Temper colours smoothly with water to create softer lines and hazy layers. Mix and blend new shades to customise your palette. You can even scrape into it or build up light texture with mark-making tools.

Use Gouache to accent your watercolour paintings with velvety shadows or bold pops of colour. Try it with a wider variety of brushes on either light or dark surfaces – explore a whole new world of artistic expression!
