Just got a few more
Daniel Smith Extra Fine Watercolor Sticks, and I am quite pleased that they now finally have a dedicated storage case for carrying them around. These simple but cleverly designed plastic cases hold each watercolor stick in its own separate covered compartment that could be cut apart if so desired. They prevent unwanted color transfer and waste of precious pigment when putting the
watercolor sticks away while still wet.
The
watercolor sticks fit the
Intus 123 pastel holder for greater comfort while using them as drawing tools.
Blending the dry doodle marks with a wet brush.
Quickly coloring an unfinished pencil sketch.
Dry color chart on Handbook Journal paper.
Same chart with the dry strokes partially dissolved with a wet 1/4" flat brush and with a stronger wash applied beneath. With the addition of more colors to the range and the availability of suitable customizable storage cases, the
watercolor sticks are a far more attractive sketching tool choice for field use. For watercolorists, adding a couple of
sticks in the colors used more frequently could increase the versatility and expressive range of your current favorite watercolor kit.
