Eco-Friendly Daniel Smith Watercolor Paint, 15ml

DANIEL SMITH is the worldwide leader in watercolor paints for artists, offering over 240 beautiful colors in their 15ml watercolor line, the most of any manufacturer. Their vision in formulating DANIEL SMITH watercolors was twofold: to meet and exceed the highest industry standards for artist's paints, and to ensure every batch is tested and analyzed for performance qualities.

Many of the colors are traditional hues relied upon by all artists, but DANIEL SMITH also creates "truly unique" colors found only in their collection, which have become essential for watercolor artists. PrimaTek Watercolors are made from minerals, often semi-precious, that are ground into pigments and mixed with gum arabic. These colors, such as Lapis Lazuli Genuine, Amethyst Genuine, and Serpentine Genuine, offer wonderful granulating effects that some artists have described as "magical."

Luminescent Watercolors from DANIEL SMITH have special optical effects perfect for subjects with a sparkle, sheen, or reflective glow, like iridescent hummingbird feathers or metallic surfaces. DANIEL SMITH has also developed safe and vibrant Cadmium Hues that provide the density and richness of cadmium colors without using the cadmium pigment, resulting in cleaner mixtures and stronger tints.

Some unique colors are created exclusively by DANIEL SMITH, like Cascade Green, Green Gold, and Moonglow. The company also sources unusual pigments from specific locations to offer more choices for artists, such as Mayan Red, Lunar Blue, and Enviro-Friendly Red Iron Oxide. DANIEL SMITH Watercolors are a favorite among artists worldwide, from professionals to beginners, due to the beautiful colors, consistent performance, and lasting lightfastness.

DANIEL SMITH Watercolors are packed with high-quality pigments and pure gum arabic as the binder, with no fillers. The company 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 extensive watercolor line, DANIEL SMITH offers Watercolor Grounds, Masking Fluid, and Walnut Ink to provide artists with extra creative means. All DANIEL SMITH products are made in the USA, in Seattle, Washington, for artists around the world.

The Enviro-Friendly Yellow Iron Oxide from DANIEL SMITH is a deep, rich ochre created through a process known as Iron Oxide Recovery (IOR). This method removes colored iron oxides that pollute mine water, resulting in a cleaner natural environment. The recovered iron oxide is thoroughly washed and used to create a trio of rich, earth-toned colors.

DANIEL SMITH Watercolors are known for their excellent lightfastness, semi-transparency, granulating properties, and non-staining characteristics, making them the preferred choice for artists seeking the best materials to create their masterpieces.
