Daniel Smith Mineral Watercolor Mixing Set

 

I am so excited to try out this Daniel Smith Mineral Watercolor Mixing Set after my friend showed me how she painted her dogs with this set.  I love the textures and undertones.

This DS mineral watercolor mixing set comes with 6 tubes of watercolors (5ml):

- Rhodnite
- Jadeite
- Amethyst
- Mayan Blue
- Hematite
- Piemontite

It also comes with a bottle of Gound and a mixing sheet.

This set is great for mixing colors.  Because their unique undertones and textures, when you mixed it with different colors, it gives you beautiful undertones.  Like when I mixed Hermatite with Rhodonite, if I used more Hermatite, it will be blackish with pink undertone.  If I used more Rhodonite than Hermatite, it will be Pink with Black undertone.  You can see my mixing chart below.

These colors are very granulated.  They are heavier in body and settle into the valleys of your paper leaving behind wonderful granulation and texture.  So if you don't like granulation, this set is not for you.  I usually don't really care about granulation, but with the unique undertones, I am in love with it.  I can see that I will use them a lot for landscape paintings. 

My favorite color is Amethyst. It has beautiful sparkling undertones.  You can see it in this Unboxed Video.  However, it looks a lot prettier in person.

 

 

You can order this set at Amazon

Or you can buy it at Michael's. (Don't forget your coupon)

I used Canson Montval Paper for the Color Swatch:

Conclusion:

In a conclusion, I think it is great set for anyone who wants to try out Daniel Smith Prima Tek Set.  Because Prima Tek Set is a lot more expensive.  This set is cheaper than Prima Tek Set.  Also, for those looking for granulation and texture, you will definitely love it.  However, if you just want to test out Daniel Smith, I will recommend to get their Primary Colors Set or Essential Introductory Set instead.  So you can really test Daniel Smith out.  Because this set is not the typical DS watercolors.

Do you have this set?  How do you like it?  Leave me a comment. I would love to hear what you think.
