Watercolor Paint, 15ml Tube, Pyrrol Orange, for Daniel Smith

DANIEL SMITH is the innovative manufacturer of beautiful watercolors for artists worldwide, offering the largest range of watercolors of any manufacturer, with more than 240 colors. Their watercolors are formulated to meet and exceed the highest industry standards for the manufacture of artist's paints, with each batch tested and analyzed for its performance qualities.

The vision in the formulation of DANIEL SMITH watercolors was twofold: to provide artists with the highest quality materials and to offer a diverse range of unique and exceptional colors. Many of the colors are traditional, relied upon by all artists, while others are truly unique, made only by DANIEL SMITH and have become essential to the watercolor art community.

One of the most unique offerings from DANIEL SMITH is their PrimaTek Watercolors, made from minerals, often semi-precious, that have been ground into pigments and mixed with gum arabic. These include colors such as Lapis Lazuli Genuine, Amethyst Genuine, Piemontite Genuine, and Serpentine Genuine, which offer wonderful granulating effects that some artists have described as "magical."

In addition to the PrimaTek line, DANIEL SMITH also offers Luminescent Watercolors, which have special optical effects perfect for subjects with a sparkle, sheen, or reflective glow, such as the iridescence of hummingbird feathers or the sheen of metals. Furthermore, the company has developed safe and vibrant Cadmium Hues, which provide the density and richness of cadmium colors without the use of the cadmium pigment.

DANIEL SMITH also sources unusual pigments to create unique colors exclusively for their line, such as Cascade Green, Green Gold, and Moonglow. Other colors, like Mayan Red, Lunar Blue, and Enviro-Friendly Red Iron Oxide, are created from pigments sourced from specific locations around the world.

DANIEL SMITH Watercolors are a favorite of artists worldwide, from professionals to beginners, due to their beautiful colors, consistent performance, and lasting lightfastness. The watercolors are packed with high-quality pigments using 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 exceptional watercolor paints, DANIEL SMITH offers a range of other products to enhance the creative experience, including Watercolor Grounds, Masking Fluid, and Walnut Ink. All DANIEL SMITH products are made in the USA, in Seattle, Washington, for artists worldwide.
