I had been wanting to try this
Daniel Smith Extra Fine Quinacridone Gold Watercolor Stick for a while, and their recent free shipping offer was all the incentive I needed to include it in my last supply order. I often use
Raw Sienna for coloring skin tones in pen & ink sketches, and according to their
product description the
Quinacridone Gold (PO49) replaces it.
Used some of my waterproof sketching tools to create some coloring outlines for this review.
Short demo
video 1 and
video 2.
The top row of faces was colored with pure washes of
Quinacridone Gold while the bottom row was colored with a little
Quinacridone Coral in the mixture to produce a
Peach skin tone on the first two faces. The left side of the last tanned face was colored with a wash of
Quinacridone Burnt Orange that turned out to be too strong, so it was rewetted and some color lifted with the clean dry brush.
The
Daniel Smith Extra Fine Quinacridone Gold Watercolor Stick worked well for rendering skin tones and made a fine addition to my sketching tool kit. Going to have to keep exploring other color combinations with it to see what other color applications are possible with this new pigment in my palette.

Replaces raw sienna? Are they running out of sienna? ;)
:) Funny. Well that was straight from the DS product description, but it did work as a suitable more transparent alternative for coloring these black ink drawings.
