DANIEL SMITH Watercolors: Unsurpassed Purity and Permanence

DANIEL SMITH is the worldwide leader in watercolors for artists, offering a vast collection of over 240 beautiful colors. The vision behind 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 is thoroughly tested and analyzed for its performance qualities.

DANIEL SMITH's watercolor range includes a variety of unique and innovative offerings. The PrimaTek Watercolors, for instance, are made from ground minerals, including semi-precious stones, blended with gum arabic to create a distinct and captivating visual effect. The first in this series was the Lapis Lazuli Genuine, 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 a wonderful granulating effect that some artists have described as "magical."

Another notable offering from DANIEL SMITH is the Luminescent Watercolors, which are designed to capture the sparkle, sheen, and reflective glow found in nature, such as the iridescence of hummingbird feathers or the sheen of metals. These unique watercolors allow artists to infuse their work with a mesmerizing luminescent quality.

In addition to these specialized lines, DANIEL SMITH has also developed a range of safe and vibrant Cadmium Hues that emulate the density and richness of cadmium colors without the use of the cadmium pigment itself. These Cadmium Hues are cleaner in mixtures and much stronger in tints, while maintaining the working properties, such as staining power, semi-transparency, and excellent lightfastness, that are characteristic of the low-soluble cadmium colors previously manufactured by DANIEL SMITH.

Beyond the unique and innovative colors, DANIEL SMITH also sources unusual pigments from specific locations to create a diverse range of options for artists. These include colors like Burgundy Yellow Ochre, Monte Amiata Natural Sienna, and Roasted French Ochre. The company also develops its own exclusive colors, such as Cascade Green, Green Gold, and Moonglow, further expanding the creative possibilities for watercolor artists.

DANIEL SMITH Watercolors are a favorite among artists worldwide, from professionals to beginners, due to their beautiful colors, consistent performance, and exceptional lightfastness. The company's commitment to using high-quality pigments and pure gum arabic as the binder, without any fillers, ensures that their watercolors offer the best possible quality and creative potential.

In addition to their core watercolor range, DANIEL SMITH also provides a variety of complementary products, including Watercolor Grounds, Masking Fluid, and Walnut Ink, allowing artists to further explore and expand their creative expression. DANIEL SMITH's products are proudly made in the USA, in Seattle, Washington, for artists around the globe.
