Hansa Yellow Light Watercolor Paint Tube, 15ml

DANIEL SMITH Watercolors, the worldwide leader in artist-quality watercolor paints, are renowned for their unsurpassed purity, permanence, and exceptional performance. The vision behind the formulation of these watercolors was twofold: to meet and exceed the highest industry standards for artist's paints, and to ensure that every batch is thoroughly tested and analyzed to deliver consistent quality.

DANIEL SMITH offers the most extensive watercolor collection in the industry, with over 240 beautiful colors in their 15ml line. These colors include both traditional favorites relied upon by artists, as well as many "truly unique" shades created exclusively by DANIEL SMITH that have become indispensable to the watercolor community.

The PrimaTek Watercolor range is a particularly noteworthy offering, made from finely ground minerals, including semi-precious stones like Lapis Lazuli Genuine, Amethyst Genuine, Piemontite Genuine, and Serpentine Genuine. These colors often exhibit wonderful granulating effects that some artists have described as "magical."

Luminescent Watercolors from DANIEL SMITH are designed to capture the sparkle, sheen, and reflective glow found in nature, such as the iridescence of hummingbird feathers or the sheen of metals. These special optical effects make them ideal for subjects that require a touch of luminescence.

Recognizing the importance of cadmium colors while addressing health and environmental concerns, DANIEL SMITH has developed a range of Cadmium Hues that provide the same density and richness as their cadmium counterparts, but without the use of the cadmium pigment. These innovative colors offer cleaner mixtures and stronger tinting power, while maintaining the desirable working properties of the original cadmium colors.

Alongside their extensive color range, DANIEL SMITH also creates unique shades not found elsewhere, such as Cascade Green, Green Gold, and Moonglow. The company sources unusual pigments from specific locations to offer even more choices for artists, including colors like Mayan Red, Lunar Blue, and Enviro-Friendly Red Iron Oxide.

DANIEL SMITH Watercolors are a favorite among artists worldwide, from professionals to beginners, thanks to their beautiful colors, consistent performance, and excellent lightfastness. These high-quality paints are formulated with pure gum arabic as the binder, without any fillers, ensuring maximum pigment load and optimal working properties.

In addition to their exceptional watercolor line, DANIEL SMITH offers a range of complementary products, including Watercolor Grounds, Masking Fluid, and Walnut Ink, providing artists with even more creative means to explore the medium.

DANIEL SMITH is the innovative manufacturer of beautiful watercolors, proudly made in the USA, in Seattle, Washington, for artists around the globe. By choosing DANIEL SMITH products, artists can be confident they are working with the finest materials to bring their vision to life.

As an example of DANIEL SMITH's commitment to quality, let's explore the characteristics of their Hansa Yellow. Cleaner, more transparent, and brighter in chroma than Cadmium Yellow Light, this high-tinting, organic pigment is considered the "perfect yellow," offering more control and flexibility when mixing. Painters appreciate the purity of this primary pigment and its ability to have its temperature adjusted without becoming dull or gray. DANIEL SMITH Hansa Yellow embodies the brand's dedication to providing artists with exceptional, innovative watercolor products.
