DANIEL SMITH Watercolors - Classic Watercolors of Unsurpassed Purity and Permanence

DANIEL SMITH is the innovative manufacturer of beautiful watercolors for artists worldwide, offering the largest range of watercolors of any manufacturer, with more than 240 colors. The vision in the formulation of DANIEL SMITH watercolors was twofold: to meet and exceed the highest industry standards for the manufacture of artist's paints, and to ensure that every batch made is tested and analyzed for its performance qualities.

DANIEL SMITH Watercolors are formulated with high-quality pigments using pure gum arabic as the binder, without the use of any fillers. For each color, DANIEL SMITH selects the perfect grind to yield particle sizes that maximize the inherent qualities of the pigment, balancing maximum pigment load with minimum vehicle content.

The DANIEL SMITH 240+ color collection includes the exciting PrimaTek watercolors, made from minerals such as Amethyst Genuine, Piemontite Genuine, and Serpentine Genuine. These PrimaTek colors often have wonderful granulating effects that some artists have called "magical." Additionally, DANIEL SMITH offers Luminescent Watercolors, which allow artists to capture the luminescent colors that regular watercolors cannot.

DANIEL SMITH has also developed safe and vibrant Cadmium Hues, which are virtually identical in color to their namesakes but are cleaner in mixtures and much stronger in tints. The working properties, including staining power, semi-transparency, and excellent lightfastness, are nearly identical to those of the low-soluble cadmium colors previously manufactured by DANIEL SMITH.

Some unique colors are created exclusively by DANIEL SMITH, such as Cascade Green, Green Gold, and Moonglow. The company also sources unusual pigments to make colors like Mayan Red, Lunar Blue, and Enviro-Friendly Red Iron Oxide, providing artists with more choices.

DANIEL SMITH Watercolors are a favorite of artists all over the world, from professional artists to beginning watercolorists, due to their beautiful colors, consistent performance, and lasting color or lightfastness. DANIEL SMITH offers many ways for artists to experience their watercolors, including Watercolor Grounds, Masking Fluid, and Walnut Ink.

Alizarin Crimson, one of the oldest synthetic deep red-crimson pigments, is a lake pigment that, when applied in strength and kept from direct sunlight, will last for many decades. It is a beautiful bluish-red pigment from the staining family, listed on the basic palette of a vast majority of artists. Intense and dark in value, Alizarin Crimson mixes cleanly with most pigments to create dark mixtures and warm neutrals.

DANIEL SMITH Watercolors are made in the USA, in Seattle, Washington, for artists worldwide. When you choose DANIEL SMITH Watercolors and other DANIEL SMITH products, you are choosing the best materials to create with.
