Daniel Smith Deep Sap Green Watercolor Paint Tube, 15ml (0.5 Fl Oz)

DANIEL SMITH's vision for their 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. As a result, DANIEL SMITH has become the worldwide leader in watercolors for artists, offering an impressive collection of 240+ beautiful colors in the 15ml size, the most of any manufacturer.

Many of these colors are traditional favorites relied upon by all artists, but DANIEL SMITH has also created a number of "truly unique" colors that have become essential for watercolor artists. These include the PrimaTek Watercolors, which are made from minerals, often semi-precious, that have been ground into pigments and mixed with gum arabic. The first of these was Lapis Lazuli Genuine, introduced in 1998, and since then many more have been added, such as Amethyst Genuine, Piemontite Genuine, and Serpentine Genuine. Many of these PrimaTek colors have wonderful granulating effects that some artists have described as "magical."

In addition to the PrimaTek range, DANIEL SMITH also offers Luminescent Watercolors, which have special optical effects that are perfect for subjects with a sparkle, sheen, or reflective glow, such as the iridescence of hummingbird feathers or the sheen of metals. They have also developed a line of safe and vibrant Cadmium Hues that offer the same density and richness as cadmium colors, but without the cadmium pigment.

Some of DANIEL SMITH's unique colors, created exclusively by the company, include Cascade Green, Green Gold, and Moonglow. They also source unusual pigments to make colors like Mayan Red, Lunar Blue, and Enviro-Friendly Red Iron Oxide, providing artists with more choices. Other colors are sourced from specific locations, such as Burgundy Yellow Ochre, Monte Amiata Natural Sienna, and Roasted French Ochre.

DANIEL SMITH Watercolors are a favorite among artists of all levels, from professionals to beginners, due to their beautiful colors, consistent performance, and excellent lightfastness. The company packs its watercolors with high-quality pigments and pure gum arabic as the binder, with no fillers. The perfect grind is selected for each color to maximize the inherent qualities of the pigment, balancing maximum pigment load with minimum vehicle content.

In addition to their exceptional watercolor paints, DANIEL SMITH also offers a range of other products to enhance the creative experience, including Watercolor Grounds, Masking Fluid, and Walnut Ink. When you choose DANIEL SMITH, you're choosing the best materials to create with, as all their products are made in the USA, in Seattle, Washington, for artists worldwide.
