Daniel Smith Watercolor Paint Tube, Sap Green, 15ml

DANIEL SMITH, the worldwide leader in watercolors for artists, offers a classic range of watercolors renowned for their unsurpassed purity and permanence. 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.

With an impressive collection of over 240 beautiful colors in the 15ml watercolor range, DANIEL SMITH boasts the most extensive selection of any manufacturer. Many of these colors are traditional favorites relied upon by artists worldwide, while a significant number are truly unique hues made exclusively by DANIEL SMITH, which have become indispensable to the watercolor community.

DANIEL SMITH's PrimaTek Watercolors are a unique range made from minerals, often semi-precious, that have been ground into pigments, mixed with gum arabic, and milled into vibrant watercolor paints. The first in this series was Lapis Lazuli Genuine, introduced in 1998, and since then, many more have been added, such as Amethyst Genuine, Piemontite Genuine, and Serpentine Genuine. These PrimaTek colors often exhibit wonderful granulating effects that some artists have described as "magical."

In addition to the PrimaTek range, DANIEL SMITH also offers Luminescent Watercolors, which have special optical effects that are perfect for capturing subjects with a sparkle, sheen, or reflective glow, such as the iridescence of hummingbird feathers or the sheen of metals.

DANIEL SMITH has also developed a range of safe and vibrant Cadmium Hues that offer the density and richness of cadmium colors without the use of the cadmium pigment. These Cadmium Hues are virtually identical in color to their namesakes, but are cleaner in mixtures and much stronger in tints. The working properties, such as staining power, semi-transparency, and excellent lightfastness, are nearly identical to the low-soluble cadmium colors DANIEL SMITH previously manufactured.

Some of DANIEL SMITH's most unique colors are created exclusively by the company, like Cascade Green, Green Gold, and Moonglow. DANIEL SMITH also sources unusual pigments to make colors like Mayan Red, Lunar Blue, and Enviro-Friendly Red Iron Oxide, providing artists with even more creative options.

DANIEL SMITH Watercolors are a favorite among artists worldwide, from professionals to beginners, due to their beautiful colors, consistent performance, and exceptional lightfastness. These watercolors are formulated with high-quality pigments and pure gum arabic as the binder, with no fillers. DANIEL SMITH carefully selects the perfect grind for each color to maximize the inherent qualities of the pigment, balancing maximum pigment load with minimum vehicle content.

In addition to their renowned watercolor paints, DANIEL SMITH offers a range of other products to enhance the creative experience, including Watercolor Grounds, Masking Fluid, and Walnut Ink. When you choose DANIEL SMITH, you are selecting the best materials to create with, and all DANIEL SMITH products are made in the USA, in Seattle, Washington, for artists worldwide.
