Daniel Smith Watercolor Paint, Mayan Dark Blue, 15ml

DANIEL SMITH, the worldwide leader in watercolor paints, offers a range of exceptional products that cater to the needs of artists, from seasoned professionals to beginners. At the core of the DANIEL SMITH brand are the Extra Fine Watercolors, renowned for their unparalleled purity, permanence, and performance.

The formulation of DANIEL SMITH Watercolors was driven by a twofold vision: to meet and exceed the highest industry standards for artist's paints, and to ensure that each batch undergoes rigorous testing and analysis to guarantee exceptional quality. This commitment to excellence has made DANIEL SMITH the go-to choice for watercolor artists globally, with an impressive palette of over 240 beautiful colors in the 15ml range – the most expansive offering of any manufacturer.

The DANIEL SMITH collection includes a diverse array of pigments, many of which are traditional colors relied upon by artists worldwide, as well as a selection of "truly unique" colors created exclusively by the brand. Among these unique offerings are the PrimaTek Watercolors, which are formulated from mineral pigments, often semi-precious, that have been meticulously ground and combined with gum arabic to produce stunning, granulating effects that some artists have described as "magical."

In addition to the PrimaTek line, DANIEL SMITH also offers Luminescent Watercolors, specially designed to capture the sparkle, sheen, and reflective glow of subjects such as iridescent hummingbird feathers or shimmering metals. Furthermore, the brand has developed a range of Cadmium Hues that deliver the vibrant, dense qualities of cadmium colors, without the use of the cadmium pigment itself. These innovative hues are cleaner in mixtures and significantly stronger in tints, while retaining the desirable working properties of their cadmium counterparts.

Alongside these unique color offerings, DANIEL SMITH has sourced and introduced a diverse selection of pigments, often from very specific geographic locations, to provide artists with an even broader palette. Examples of these exceptional colors include Mayan Red, Lunar Blue, Burgundy Yellow Ochre, and Roasted French Ochre.

DANIEL SMITH Watercolors are beloved by artists worldwide, from professionals to beginners, thanks to their vibrant colors, consistent performance, and outstanding lightfastness. Formulated with high-quality pigments and pure gum arabic as the binder, with no fillers, each color is meticulously crafted to maximize the inherent qualities of the pigment, striking the perfect balance between pigment load and vehicle content.

Beyond the exceptional watercolor paints, DANIEL SMITH offers a range of complementary products, such as Watercolor Grounds, Masking Fluid, and Walnut Ink, all of which are designed to expand the creative possibilities for artists. As a brand, DANIEL SMITH is committed to providing the best materials for artistic creation, and is proud to manufacture all of its products in the USA, in the city of Seattle, Washington.
