Watercolor Paint for Artists, 15ml Tube, Raw Umber Violet

DANIEL SMITH is the Innovative Manufacturer of Beautiful Watercolors for Artists Worldwide, offering the largest range of watercolors of any manufacturer, more than 240 colors. The vision in 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 ensure that every batch made is tested and analyzed for its performance qualities.

DANIEL SMITH Watercolors are formulated with high-quality pigments and pure gum arabic as the binder, without any fillers. For each color, DANIEL SMITH selects the perfect grind to yield particle sizes that maximize the qualities inherent in the pigment, balancing maximum pigment load with minimum vehicle content.

The 240+ color collection includes the exciting PrimaTek watercolors, made from minerals such as Lapis Lazuli Genuine, Amethyst Genuine, Piemontite Genuine, and Serpentine Genuine. These PrimaTek Watercolors often have wonderful granulating effects that some artists have called "magical." Additionally, DANIEL SMITH offers Luminescent Watercolors, which have special optical effects perfect for subjects that have a sparkle, sheen, or reflective glow, like the iridescence of hummingbird feathers or the sheen of metals.

DANIEL SMITH has also developed safe and vibrant Cadmium Hues, which provide the density and richness of cadmium colors without the use of the cadmium pigment. These Cadmium Hues are virtually identical in color to their namesakes, but they are cleaner in mixtures and much stronger in tints, with working properties – staining power, semi-transparency, and excellent lightfastness – that are nearly identical to those of the low-soluble cadmium colors DANIEL SMITH previously manufactured.

Some unique colors are created exclusively by DANIEL SMITH, such as Cascade Green, Green Gold, and Moonglow. The company also sources unusual pigments to make colors like Mayan Red, Lunar Blue, and Enviro-Friendly Red Iron Oxide, providing more choices for artists. Other colors, such as Burgundy Yellow Ochre, Monte Amiata Natural Sienna, and Roasted French Ochre, are from pigments DANIEL SMITH has sourced from very specific locations.

DANIEL SMITH Watercolors are a favorite of artists all over the world, from professional artists to the beginning watercolorists, due to their beautiful colors, consistent performance, and lasting color or lightfastness. DANIEL SMITH also offers a range of complementary products, including Watercolor Grounds, Masking Fluid, and Walnut Ink, to provide artists with extra creative means.

DANIEL SMITH products are made in the USA, in Seattle, Washington, for artists worldwide. The company is truly the worldwide leader of watercolors for artists, and its commitment to quality, innovation, and customer satisfaction has made it a trusted name in the art community.
