Daniel Smith Extra Fine Watercolor Paint, Interference Blue, 15ml Tube

DANIEL SMITH Watercolors are the worldwide leader in artist's watercolors, offering over 240 beautiful colors in the 15ml range, more than any other manufacturer. 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.

The company's commitment to quality is evident in the use of high-quality pigments and pure gum arabic as the binder, with no 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.

One of the unique offerings from DANIEL SMITH is their PrimaTek Watercolors, which are made from minerals, often semi-precious, that have been ground into pigments and mixed with gum arabic. The first was Lapis Lazuli Genuine in 1998, and since then, many more have been added, such as Amethyst Genuine, Piemontite Genuine, and Serpentine Genuine. These PrimaTek colors often have a wonderful granulating effect that some artists have described as "magical."

DANIEL SMITH has also developed a line of 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.

In addition, the company has created a range of Cadmium Hues, which offer the density and richness of cadmium colors without the use of cadmium pigment. These Cadmium Hues are cleaner in mixtures and much stronger in tints, with working properties that are nearly identical to the low-soluble cadmium colors previously manufactured by DANIEL SMITH.

The company also sources unusual pigments from specific locations to create unique colors, such as Mayan Red, Lunar Blue, and Enviro-Friendly Red Iron Oxide, providing artists with more choices and creative possibilities.

DANIEL SMITH Watercolors are a favorite among artists of all skill levels, from professionals to beginners, due to their beautiful colors, consistent performance, and excellent lightfastness. The company's commitment to quality and innovation has made them the worldwide leader in watercolors for artists.

In addition to their exceptional watercolors, DANIEL SMITH also offers a range of other products, including Watercolor Grounds, Masking Fluid, and Walnut Ink, all of which are made in the USA, in Seattle, Washington, for artists worldwide.
