Daniel Smith Watercolor Paint, 15ml Tube, Verona Gold Ochre

DANIEL SMITH, the worldwide leader in watercolor paints, offers a collection of Extra Fine Watercolors renowned for their unparalleled purity and permanence. The vision behind the formulation of DANIEL SMITH Watercolors was twofold: to meet and exceed the highest industry standards for artist-quality paints, and to ensure that every batch undergoes rigorous testing and analysis to deliver optimal performance qualities.

With an impressive array of 240+ beautiful colors in the 15ml watercolor line, DANIEL SMITH boasts the most extensive selection of any manufacturer. This comprehensive palette features both traditional hues relied upon by artists of all skill levels, as well as a vast array of "truly unique" colors created exclusively by DANIEL SMITH, which have become indispensable for watercolorists.

The PrimaTek Watercolor series is a testament to DANIEL SMITH's innovative spirit, as these colors are derived from minerals, often semi-precious, that have been ground into pigments, then blended with gum arabic to form the final paint. The first PrimaTek color, Lapis Lazuli Genuine, debuted in 1998, paving the way for the addition of many more unique offerings, such as Amethyst Genuine, Piemontite Genuine, and Serpentine Genuine. These colors often exhibit captivating granulating effects that have been described as "magical" by artists.

In addition to the PrimaTek line, DANIEL SMITH also offers 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. Furthermore, the brand has developed safe and vibrant Cadmium Hues that mimic the density and richness of traditional cadmium colors, without the use of the cadmium pigment itself. These innovative offerings provide artists with a cleaner, stronger alternative to the low-soluble cadmium colors previously available.

DANIEL SMITH's commitment to innovation extends to the creation of several unique colors, including Cascade Green, Green Gold, and Moonglow, which are found exclusively in their product line. The company also sources unusual pigments from specific locations to offer artists even more creative possibilities, such as Mayan Red, Lunar Blue, and Enviro-Friendly Red Iron Oxide.

DANIEL SMITH Watercolors have earned the loyalty of artists worldwide, from professionals to beginners, thanks to their beautiful colors, consistent performance, and exceptional lightfastness. Crafted with high-quality pigments and pure gum arabic as the binder, these paints are free from fillers, and the grind size is carefully selected to maximize the inherent qualities of each pigment.

In addition to their renowned watercolor paints, DANIEL SMITH offers a range of complementary products, including Watercolor Grounds, Masking Fluid, and Walnut Ink, providing artists with a comprehensive suite of tools for their creative endeavors. As a company, DANIEL SMITH is committed to producing all of its products in the USA, in the city of Seattle, Washington, ensuring the highest standards of quality for artists around the globe.
