Extra Fine Watercolor Paint, 15ml Tube, Transparent Brown Oxide

DANIEL SMITH is the worldwide leader in watercolors for artists, offering over 240 beautiful colors in their 15ml watercolor range - the most of any manufacturer. The formulation of DANIEL SMITH watercolors is driven by two key objectives: to meet and exceed the highest industry standards for the manufacture of artist's paints, and to ensure that every batch made is tested and analyzed for its performance qualities.

Many of the colors in the DANIEL SMITH collection are traditional colors relied upon by all artists, but the company also produces a wide range of "truly unique" colors made only by DANIEL SMITH that have become indispensable to the watercolor artist community. The PrimaTek Watercolors, for example, are made from minerals, often semi-precious, that have been ground into pigments, mixed with gum arabic, and milled into the final product. Lapis Lazuli Genuine, introduced in 1998, was the first of these unique PrimaTek colors, and many more have since 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 make them perfect for capturing subjects with a sparkle, sheen, or reflective glow, such as the iridescence of hummingbird feathers or the sheen of metals. The company has also developed a range of safe and vibrant Cadmium Hues that provide the density and richness of cadmium colors without the use of the cadmium pigment itself. These Cadmium Hues are cleaner in mixtures and much stronger in tints, while maintaining the staining power, semi-transparency, and excellent lightfastness of the low-soluble cadmium colors DANIEL SMITH previously manufactured.

DANIEL SMITH's commitment to innovation is further reflected in the creation of several unique colors that are exclusive to the brand, such as Cascade Green, Green Gold, and Moonglow. The company also sources unusual pigments from specific locations to create colors like Mayan Red, Lunar Blue, and Enviro-Friendly Red Iron Oxide, providing artists with an even broader palette of choices.

DANIEL SMITH Watercolors are a favorite among artists of all levels, from professionals to beginners, due to their beautiful colors, consistent performance, and lasting lightfastness. Formulated with high-quality pigments and pure gum arabic as the binder, with no fillers, each color is carefully crafted to maximize the inherent qualities of the pigment, balancing the perfect grind and pigment load with the minimum vehicle content.

In addition to their exceptional watercolor paints, DANIEL SMITH also offers a range of complementary products, such as Watercolor Grounds, Masking Fluid, and Walnut Ink, to further enhance the creative possibilities for artists. All DANIEL SMITH products are made in the USA, in Seattle, Washington, for artists worldwide.
