Interference Copper Watercolor Paint, 15ml Tube

DANIEL SMITH Watercolors: Unparalleled Purity and Permanence

DANIEL SMITH, the worldwide leader in watercolors, offers a comprehensive range of over 240 beautiful colors in 15ml tubes, surpassing any other manufacturer. The vision behind the formulation of DANIEL SMITH 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 for exceptional performance qualities.

PrimaTek Watercolors, a unique offering from DANIEL SMITH, are created by grinding minerals, often semi-precious, into pigments and then mixing them with gum arabic, the binder. The first in this collection 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 colors often exhibit wonderful granulating effects that some artists have described as "magical."

Luminescent Watercolors, another innovative product by DANIEL SMITH, are designed to capture the sparkle, sheen, and reflective glow of subjects like iridescent hummingbird feathers or shimmering metals.

Recognizing the concerns surrounding cadmium pigments, DANIEL SMITH has developed a line of safe and vibrant Cadmium Hues that offer the same density and richness as their cadmium counterparts, but without the actual cadmium pigment. These colors are cleaner in mixtures and much stronger in tints, while maintaining the staining power, semi-transparency, and excellent lightfastness of the original low-soluble cadmium colors.

DANIEL SMITH also creates unique colors exclusively, such as Cascade Green, Green Gold, and Moonglow, and sources unusual pigments to offer a wider range of choices for artists, including Mayan Red, Lunar Blue, and Enviro-Friendly Red Iron Oxide. Additionally, the company provides colors from specific geographic locations, like Burgundy Yellow Ochre, Monte Amiata Natural Sienna, and Roasted French Ochre.

The popularity of DANIEL SMITH Watercolors among artists, from professionals to beginners, stems from their exceptional color quality, consistent performance, and superb lightfastness. These paints 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, balancing maximum pigment load with minimum vehicle content to optimize the inherent qualities of the pigment.

To further enhance the creative experience, DANIEL SMITH offers a variety of complementary products, including Watercolor Grounds, Masking Fluid, and Walnut Ink. When artists choose DANIEL SMITH Watercolors and other DANIEL SMITH products, they are selecting the best materials to create their masterpieces.

Proudly made in the USA, in Seattle, Washington, DANIEL SMITH Watercolors are a favorite among artists worldwide, trusted for their unparalleled purity, permanence, and creative possibilities.
