Daniel Smith Extra Fine Watercolour Desert Horizons Triad Set 3 x 5ml

The Daniel Smith Extra Fine Watercolour Desert Horizons Triad Set brings together three harmonious mineral-based colours – Amazonite Genuine, Monte Amiata Natural Sienna and Burnt Sienna Light. Inspired by desert landscapes and sun-washed scenes, this curated set is ideal for artists looking to explore earthy palettes, natural forms and the soft drama of arid environments.
Each colour in this set offers distinct visual and handling qualities:
Amazonite Genuine
is a striking teal made from the precious Brazilian mineral. Completely transparent, non-staining and easily lifted for layered washes or delicate glazes.
Monte Amiata Natural Sienna
is a gentle, golden-brown pigment with subtle granulation and excellent lightfastness. Its delicate transparency makes it a favourite for natural subjects.
Burnt Sienna Light
is a redder, more transparent variation of classic Burnt Sienna. Low granulation and soft undertones make it a go-to for warm shadows, portrait tones and earthy accents.
