1 DANIEL SMITH Watercolor Stick = 3 Full Pans!

Each DANIEL SMITH Watercolor stick is about 3 full pans of DANIEL SMITH Watercolor paint, which makes it a terrific value.

All Watercolor Sticks are the same price regardless of what series (1. 2, 3, 4) they are in the Watercolor tubes. For example, Sodalite Genuine is a series 4 in the Watercolor tubes, in the Watercolor Stick collection, it is the same price as the rest of the Watercolor Sticks.

The DANIEL SMITH Watercolor Sticks have the same properties of granulation, transparency, staining and lightfastness as the matching color does in the DANIEL SMITH Watercolors in tubes, because they are made with the same pigment.

Pigment Power – Watercolor Sticks offer the exact same superior intensity as DANIEL SMITH Watercolor Paints. No clay fillers or wax of any kind, so they release their pigment easily just like the dried DANIEL SMITH Watercolors in your palette do into rich, vibrant color.

Paint & Mix – directly from a Watercolor Stick by applying a wet brush. Perfect for plein air and travel. No watercolor palette needed.

Unique Drawing Tool – Watercolor Sticks are an expressive and fun tool for drawing directly with watercolors. Comfortable to hold and the tip can be sharpened for a more precise drawing tip. When sharpening, be sure to save the shavings, those are pure DANIEL SMITH Watercolor! You can add water to the shavings and turn them into liquid paint in a small dish or container.
