Daniel Smith Extra Fine Watercolor 15ml Paint Tube, Green Apatite Genuine

DANIEL SMITH: Crafting Exceptional Watercolors for Artists Worldwide

DANIEL SMITH Watercolors are the premier choice for artists around the globe, renowned for their unsurpassed purity, permanence, and exceptional performance. The vision behind the formulation of these watercolors was twofold: to meet and exceed the highest industry standards for artist's paints, and to ensure that every batch is rigorously tested and analyzed for its quality and attributes.

As the worldwide leader in watercolors, DANIEL SMITH offers an extensive collection of over 240 beautiful colors in their 15ml range, the largest selection of any manufacturer. This impressive palette includes both traditional hues relied upon by all artists, as well as a wealth of "truly unique" colors created exclusively by DANIEL SMITH that have become indispensable to the watercolor medium.

The PrimaTek Watercolors, in particular, are a standout in the DANIEL SMITH lineup. These colors are made from minerals, often semi-precious, that have been ground into pigments, combined with gum arabic, and meticulously milled. The first in this series was the stunning Lapis Lazuli Genuine, introduced in 1998, and many more have since been added, such as Amethyst Genuine, Piemontite Genuine, and Serpentine Genuine. These PrimaTek colors often exhibit wonderful granulating effects that have been described as "magical" by artists.

Complementing the PrimaTek range, DANIEL SMITH also offers Luminescent Watercolors, which possess special optical effects perfect for capturing subjects with a sparkle, sheen, or reflective glow, like the iridescence of hummingbird feathers or the sheen of metals.

In addition, DANIEL SMITH has developed a line of safe and vibrant Cadmium Hues, which replicate the density and richness of cadmium colors without the use of the actual cadmium pigment. These colors are cleaner in mixtures and much stronger in tints, while retaining the staining power, semi-transparency, and excellent lightfastness of the original cadmium pigments.

The company's innovative spirit is further demonstrated through the creation of unique colors found exclusively in the DANIEL SMITH range, such as Cascade Green, Green Gold, and Moonglow. DANIEL SMITH also sources unusual pigments from specific locations to offer artists even more choices, including colors like Mayan Red, Lunar Blue, and Enviro-Friendly Red Iron Oxide.

DANIEL SMITH Watercolors are a favored choice among artists worldwide, from professionals to beginners, thanks to their beautiful colors, consistent performance, and exceptional lightfastness. Meticulously formulated with high-quality pigments and pure gum arabic as the binder, these watercolors are designed to deliver maximum pigment load with minimal vehicle content, ensuring optimal results.

To further enhance the creative experience, DANIEL SMITH offers a range of complementary products, including Watercolor Grounds, Masking Fluid, and Walnut Ink, all crafted with the same dedication to quality and innovation that defines the brand.

As an American manufacturer based in Seattle, Washington, DANIEL SMITH is committed to providing artists around the world with the finest watercolor materials to spark their creativity and help them achieve their artistic vision. When you choose DANIEL SMITH, you're choosing the best in the industry.
