Daniel Smith Green Gold Watercolor Paint Tube

DANIEL SMITH is the Innovative Manufacturer of Beautiful Watercolors for Artists Worldwide, offering the largest range of watercolors of any manufacturer, more than 240 colors. The vision in 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 made is tested and analyzed for its performance qualities.

DANIEL SMITH Watercolors are formulated with high-quality pigments and pure gum arabic as the binder, without any 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. This meticulous approach results in watercolors of unsurpassed purity and permanence, making DANIEL SMITH a worldwide leader in the field.

The 240+ color collection includes many traditional colors relied upon by all artists, as well as a variety of "truly unique" colors made only by DANIEL SMITH that have become so important to watercolor artists. These unique colors, such as Cascade Green, Green Gold, and Moonglow, are often created from unusual pigments sourced by DANIEL SMITH, often from very specific locations, like Burgundy Yellow Ochre, Monte Amiata Natural Sienna, and Roasted French Ochre.

Another innovative offering from DANIEL SMITH is the PrimaTek Watercolors, 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 wonderful granulating effects that some artists have called "magical."

DANIEL SMITH has also developed safe and vibrant Cadmium Hues that provide the density and richness of cadmium colors without the use of the cadmium pigment. Virtually identical in color to their namesakes, these Cadmium Hues are cleaner in mixtures and much stronger in tints, with working properties – staining power, semi-transparency, and excellent lightfastness – nearly identical to those of the low-soluble cadmium colors DANIEL SMITH previously manufactured.

For artists seeking to capture the luminescent colors that exist in nature, DANIEL SMITH offers Luminescent Watercolors, which have special optical effects perfect for subjects that have a sparkle, sheen, or reflective glow, like the iridescence of hummingbird feathers or the sheen of metals.

DANIEL SMITH Watercolors are a favorite of artists all over the world, from professional artists to the beginning watercolorists, due to their beautiful colors, consistent performance, and lasting color or lightfastness. In addition to their watercolors, DANIEL SMITH offers other creative means for artists, such as Watercolor Grounds, Masking Fluid, and Walnut Ink. All DANIEL SMITH products are made in the USA, in Seattle, Washington, for artists worldwide.
