DANIEL SMITH 284600010 Extra Fine Watercolor 15ml Paint Tube, Burnt Sienna

Reviewing the paint in general and then the specific color I purchased: Daniel Smiths watercolors are a conventional, highly pigmented artist watercolor. Im sure most people purchasing them have some idea of their brightness, intensity and color range. I think DS offers the largest arrays of colors in watercolor, including quinacridones and natural minerals. I own a few colors in their line, including Phthalo Green Yellow Shade, and their Burnt Sienna. Unlike other people, I find that when I empty the tube into pans and let them dry they do not rewet as well as other brands such as M Graham, which uses a honey based binder. I dont really use the color straight from the tube so I cant speak to how it handles there. But when I let it dry in the pan, the colors end up shrinking a bit. Perhaps its some of the volatiles evaporating from the color? That isnt an inherent weakness however. With the way I work, I prefer the control it gives me. With my M Graham paints I usually have to dilute or wipe my brush of excess color, whereas with the DS paint I can dab my brush into the paint and its good to go. I may end up replacing my existing Grahams with Daniel Smith once I finish them up. For the Burnt Sienna, it appears as advertised on Amazon. Its a delightful reddish earth brown that makes warm glazes, great for skin tones and natural scenery. Its like a warm sepia and, in spite of my general aversion to granulation, produces a nice fine grain texture. My only regret is not purchasing this color sooner.

Daniel Smith paints are high quality artist paints. They are one of my favorite brands of watercolor paint. This Burnt Sienna is a true Burnt Sienna and not some funky version. This paint has a permanent place in my palette.

Professional quality watercolor paint. For painting pictures...

I ordered Burnt Sienna but received Brown Oxide. Not the same, but its a nice paint and its not worth the fuss of sending it back for the right one.

Daniel Smith watercolor paints are always excellent and this burnt sienna is noexception.

Great value, quick delivery, great seller.

I ordered a replacement and Im hoping that the correct item is shipped to me. The packaging indicates that the color is Burnt Sienna, while the tube reads Quinacridone Burnt Orange. The two colors might appear similar, but are very different in both color and in properties. I expect that when I receive the correct item, it will be a good product.

My favorite water colors

Very pricey.

I love Daniel Smith watercolors and and happy for the convenience to be able to buy one tube at a time from Amazon Prime
