Daniel Smith Extra Fine Watercolour Summer Triad Set 3 x 5ml

Capture the essence of sunlit days and coastal skies with the Daniel Smith Extra Fine Watercolour Summer Triad Set. This thoughtfully curated set includes three professional-grade 5ml watercolour tubes in Quinacridone Rose, Ultramarine Turquoise and Naples Yellow – ideal for creating radiant, summery mixes. Whether you’re painting vivid florals, tropical landscapes, or soft, atmospheric washes, this triad offers a beautifully balanced colour palette with luminous transparency and subtle granulation.
Each colour in this set offers distinct visual and handling qualities:
Quinacridone Rose
is a vibrant, red-violet hue perfect for floral work, portraits or mixing rich purples. Try it with deep blues for unique violet tones, or with warm earths for sunset skies and skin tones.
Ultramarine Turquoise
is semi-transparent and gently granular. This cooler blue offers soft textures and low staining – great for glazing or atmospheric washes without overpowering a composition.
Naples Yellow
is a gentle, semi-opaque yellow with a creamy, muted character – ideal for light grasses, floral details or subtle portrait work.
