Like a pan in your hand, Daniel Smith Extra Fine Watercolor Sticks deliver pure, professional watercolor in a totally portable, all-in-one format. These sticks are shaped by hand using the same premium pigments and gum arabic binder as Daniel Smith’s classic watercolors, so you get vibrant, lightfast color without any waxes or oils.

Activate the stick with water, draw directly on wet or dry paper, or pick up color with a brush—just like a pan. Draw bold lines that blend but don’t easily lift, define contours, or go loose with washes and blends right on the page.

Yellow Ochre provides artists with earthtones from cream to brown. It has good hiding power, produces a quick drying paint, and can be safely mixed with other pigments. Its transparency varies widely from opaque shades to more transparent ones, which are valued for their use as glazes. If gypsum is present, Yellow Ochre is not suitable for frescoing. (See Brown Ochre, PY43.) PY42 is made from synthetic iron oxides. PY43 is made from natural iron oxide.
Permanence
Yellow Ochre has excellent permanence because ochres are some of the most permanent pigments available.
Toxicity
Yellow Ochre is non-toxic unless it contains manganese.
History
