Daniel Smith Watercolor Paint, Ultramarine Violet, 15ml

DANIEL SMITH's vision for their watercolor formulations was twofold: to meet and exceed the highest industry standards for artist's paints, and to meticulously test and analyze every batch for peak performance qualities. As the worldwide leader in watercolors for artists, DANIEL SMITH offers over 240 beautiful 15ml hues - more than any other manufacturer. Many are traditional colors relied upon by all artists, while numerous "truly unique" shades are produced exclusively by DANIEL SMITH, becoming indispensable to watercolorists globally.

DANIEL SMITH's PrimaTek Watercolors are crafted from finely ground minerals, often semi-precious, combined with gum arabic binder and milled into vibrant pigments. Beginning with Lapis Lazuli Genuine in 1998, the PrimaTek line has expanded to include captivating colors like Amethyst Genuine, Piemontite Genuine and Serpentine Genuine. These mineral-based paints frequently exhibit enchanting granulating effects that some artists describe as "magical."

Luminescent Watercolors from DANIEL SMITH are specially formulated to capture the sparkle, sheen, and reflective glow of subjects like iridescent hummingbird feathers or shimmering metallic surfaces. Additionally, DANIEL SMITH has developed a line of safe, vibrant Cadmium Hues that mirror the density and richness of cadmium pigments, yet without the associated health concerns. Virtually identical in color to their namesakes, these Cadmium Hues blend more cleanly and possess superior tinting strength.

Among DANIEL SMITH's exclusive color offerings are Cascade Green, Green Gold and Moonglow, created in-house. The company also sources unusual pigments from specific locales to expand artists' palettes, producing colors like Mayan Red, Lunar Blue and Enviro-Friendly Red Iron Oxide. Other unique shades, such as Burgundy Yellow Ochre, Monte Amiata Natural Sienna and Roasted French Ochre, are the result of DANIEL SMITH's global pigment procurement.

DANIEL SMITH Watercolors, renowned for their beautiful colors, consistent performance and exceptional lightfastness, are favored by professional artists and beginners alike. Formulated without fillers, each color is carefully crafted using high-quality pigments and pure gum arabic binder. DANIEL SMITH selects the perfect grind size for each pigment to maximize its inherent qualities, balancing maximum pigment load with minimum vehicle content.

In addition to their world-class watercolor paints, DANIEL SMITH offers a range of complementary products, including Watercolor Grounds, Masking Fluid and Walnut Ink, to further inspire and enable artists' creative expression. Manufactured in the USA, in Seattle, Washington, DANIEL SMITH products represent the innovative pinnacle of materials for artists worldwide.
