Pearlescent White Watercolor Paint, 15ml Tube

DANIEL SMITH, the worldwide leader in watercolors for artists, offers a classic range of watercolors renowned for their unsurpassed purity and permanence. The vision behind the formulation of DANIEL SMITH Watercolors was twofold: to meet and exceed the highest industry standards for the manufacture of artist's paints, and to extensively test and analyze each batch for its performance qualities.

With over 240 beautiful colors in the 15ml range, DANIEL SMITH boasts the most extensive watercolor collection of any manufacturer. Many of these colors are traditional hues relied upon by all artists, while others are truly unique shades made exclusively by DANIEL SMITH, which have become indispensable to the watercolor community.

The PrimaTek Watercolor line is a testament to DANIEL SMITH's dedication to innovation. These colors are formulated from minerals, often semi-precious, that have been ground into pigments, mixed with gum arabic, and milled into vibrant paints. The first in this series was Lapis Lazuli Genuine, introduced in 1998, and since then, many more unique PrimaTek colors have been added, such as Amethyst Genuine, Piemontite Genuine, and Serpentine Genuine. These colors often display a wonderful granulating effect that some artists have described as "magical."

Luminescent Watercolors, another DANIEL SMITH specialty, are perfect for capturing subjects with a sparkle, sheen, or reflective glow, such as the iridescence of hummingbird feathers or the sheen of metals.

Recognizing the need for safe, high-quality alternatives to traditional cadmium colors, DANIEL SMITH has developed a line of Cadmium Hues that offer the same density and richness without the use of cadmium pigment. These vibrant colors are cleaner in mixtures and much stronger in tints, while maintaining the staining power, semi-transparency, and excellent lightfastness of their cadmium-based counterparts.

DANIEL SMITH's dedication to providing artists with unique color choices is evident in their exclusive shades like Cascade Green, Green Gold, and Moonglow, as well as their efforts to source unusual pigments from specific locations to create 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 exceptional 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.

In addition to their premier watercolor line, DANIEL SMITH offers a range of complementary products, including Watercolor Grounds, Masking Fluid, and Walnut Ink, to provide artists with a comprehensive suite of creative tools. All DANIEL SMITH products are proudly made in the USA, in Seattle, Washington, for artists worldwide.
