Daniel Smith Watercolor Paint, Potter's Pink, 15ml Tube

DANIEL SMITH: The Innovative Manufacturer of Beautiful Watercolors for Artists Worldwide

DANIEL SMITH is the worldwide leader in watercolors for artists, offering over 240 beautiful colors in their 15ml watercolor line – the most of any manufacturer. Their vision in formulating DANIEL SMITH Watercolors is twofold: 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 DANIEL SMITH Watercolor colors are traditional hues relied upon by all artists, but the company also offers a wide range of "truly unique" colors made only by DANIEL SMITH that have become so important to watercolor artists. These include the PrimaTek Watercolors, which are made from minerals, often semi-precious, that have been ground into pigments, mixed with gum arabic, and milled into the final product.

The PrimaTek line includes colors such as Lapis Lazuli Genuine, Amethyst Genuine, Piemontite Genuine, and Serpentine Genuine, many of which exhibit wonderful granulating effects that some artists have described as "magical." DANIEL SMITH also offers Luminescent Watercolors, which have special optical effects perfect for subjects with a sparkle, sheen, or reflective glow, like the iridescence of hummingbird feathers or the sheen of metals.

In addition to their unique color offerings, DANIEL SMITH has developed safe and vibrant Cadmium Hues that provide the density and richness of cadmium colors without the use of the actual cadmium pigment. These Cadmium Hues are virtually identical in color to their namesakes, but they are cleaner in mixtures and much stronger in tints, while maintaining the working properties – staining power, semi-transparency, and excellent lightfastness – of the low-soluble cadmium colors.

DANIEL SMITH 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 greater range of choices. Other unique colors, such as Cascade Green, Green Gold, and Moonglow, are created exclusively by the company.

DANIEL SMITH Watercolors are a favorite of artists worldwide, from professionals to beginners, due to their beautiful colors, consistent performance, and lasting color or lightfastness. The paints are made with high-quality pigments and pure gum arabic as the binder, with no fillers. For each color, DANIEL SMITH selects the perfect grind to yield particle sizes that 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 other creative materials for artists, including Watercolor Grounds, Masking Fluid, and Walnut Ink. All DANIEL SMITH products are made in the USA, in Seattle, Washington, for artists worldwide.
