Description
Unique Drawing Tool - When wet from dipping into water, or applied onto wet paper, the Watercolor Sticks are an expressive and fun tool for drawing directly with watercolors. Comfortable to hold, and the end 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. Make Your Mark - With DANIEL SMITH Phthalo Blue (Red Shade) watercolor Sticks you can:
- Draw directly onto dry or wet paper for different line characteristics
