DANIEL SMITH Cobalt Teal Blue Watercolor Paint Tube, 15ml

DANIEL SMITH, the renowned manufacturer of watercolor paints, is renowned for its exceptional quality and artistry. Their watercolors are renowned for their unparalleled purity and permanence, making them a favorite among artists worldwide.

The vision behind the formulation of DANIEL SMITH watercolors is two-fold. Firstly, they are designed to meet and exceed the highest industry standards for the manufacture of artist's paints. Secondly, every batch is meticulously tested and analyzed to ensure optimal performance qualities.

DANIEL SMITH is the undisputed global leader in watercolor paints, offering an impressive collection of over 240 beautiful colors in their 15ml watercolor range, surpassing any other manufacturer. Many of these colors are traditional, relied upon by artists for generations, while others are truly unique, exclusive to DANIEL SMITH and have become indispensable to the watercolor art community.

The PrimaTek Watercolors, a unique offering from DANIEL SMITH, are crafted from minerals, often semi-precious, which have been ground into pigments, mixed with gum arabic, and milled into the final watercolor. The first of these, Lapis Lazuli Genuine, was introduced in 1998, and since then, many more have been added, such as Amethyst Genuine, Piemontite Genuine, and Serpentine Genuine. These PrimaTek colors often exhibit wonderful granulating effects, which some artists have described as "magical."

Luminescent Watercolors, another DANIEL SMITH specialty, are designed to capture the stunning optical effects of subjects with a sparkle, sheen, or reflective glow, such as the iridescence of hummingbird feathers or the sheen of metals.

Addressing the concerns around cadmium-based pigments, DANIEL SMITH has developed a range of safe and vibrant Cadmium Hues that replicate the density and richness of cadmium colors without the use of the cadmium pigment. These Cadmium Hues are cleaner in mixtures and much stronger in tints, while retaining the working properties of the original low-soluble cadmium colors.

DANIEL SMITH's dedication to innovation extends to the creation of unique colors found exclusively in their product line, such as Cascade Green, Green Gold, and Moonglow. The company also sources unusual pigments from specific locations to offer artists more choices, like Mayan Red, Lunar Blue, and Enviro-Friendly Red Iron Oxide.

DANIEL SMITH Watercolors are a beloved choice among artists, from professionals to beginners, thanks to their exceptional color quality, consistent performance, and unparalleled lightfastness.

Each color is formulated with high-quality pigments and pure gum arabic as the binder, without any fillers. DANIEL SMITH carefully selects the perfect grind to yield particle sizes that optimize the inherent qualities of the pigment, ensuring a perfect balance between maximum pigment load and minimum vehicle content.

In addition to their exceptional watercolor paints, DANIEL SMITH offers a range of complementary products, including Watercolor Grounds, Masking Fluid, and Walnut Ink, providing artists with a comprehensive suite of tools to unleash their creative potential.

DANIEL SMITH's dedication to innovation and quality has solidified their position as the Innovative Manufacturer of Beautiful Watercolors for Artists Worldwide. With their commitment to excellence and their unwavering pursuit of artistic excellence, DANIEL SMITH continues to inspire and empower artists across the globe.
