What makes DANIEL SMITH Watercolors so special with artists worldwide? We have 3 rules for the pigments we use in our watercolors: 1.They have to be safe. 2. They have to be lightfast. Out of 250+ colors, all have an ASTM lightfastness rating of Excellent (100+ years) or Very Good (100 years) with the exception of 2 highly artists requested colors. 3. They have to be reliable. Artists need colors that are consistent from tube to tube that they can depend on when painting. We developed our watercolors in the early 1990s and debuted 18 colors in 1993 with a goal of adding more palette standards as well as unique colors over the years. Now with 250+ colors, the widest range of colors in the world, DANIEL SMITH has many unique colors and is fast becoming the top manufacturer of watercolors in the world. Our watercolors continue to be manufactured in small batches, they are handmade, and hand packed for consistent quality control. One of our 3 in house chemists (one has 30+ years with DANIEL SMITH) tests and analyzes each batch for the following performance qualities: Lightfastness Tinting strength Brushability Reliability Color clarity Mixability Because we formulate our watercolors to meet and exceed the highest standards for the manufacture of artists paints, and how beautifully our watercolors perform for artists, this is why we have become the favorite watercolor for artists worldwide. DANIEL SMITH Watercolor Set 5ml Tubes – Primatek Introductory Watercolor Set – 6 Tubes, 285610006 DANIEL SMITH Extra Fine Watercolors – classic watercolors of unsurpassed purity and permanence. The vision in the formulation of DANIEL SMITH watercolors was twofold; First and foremost, to produce watercolors that are the best in lightfastness and permanence. Second, to offer a selection of truly unique colors. DANIEL SMITH Watercolors are formulated to meet and exceed the highest industry standards for the manufacture of artist’s paints, and every batch made is tested and analyzed for its performance qualities. DANIEL SMITH is truly the worldwide leader of watercolors for artists with 240+ beautiful colors in the 15ml watercolors, the most of any manufacturer . Many are traditional colors relied upon by all artists, and there are many “truly unique” colors made only by DANIEL SMITH that have become so important to watercolor artists. PrimaTek Watercolors are made from minerals, often semi precious minerals, that have been ground into pigments, mixed with gum arabic (the binder) and milled into PrimaTek Watercolors . The first was Lapis Lazuli Genuine in 1998, since then, many more have been added such as Amethyst Genuine, Piemontite Genuine and Serpentine Genuine. Most of these colors have wonderful granulating effects that some artists have called “magical”. Luminescent Watercolors 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. Cadmium Hues, DANIEL SMITH has developed safe and vibrant Cadmium Hues with the density and richness of cadmium colors without the cadmium pigment. Virtually identical in color to their namesakes, they are cleaner in mixtures and much stronger in tints. The working properties – staining power, semi-transparency and excellent lightfastness – are nearly identical to those of the low-soluble cadmium colors DANIEL SMITH previously manufactured. Some unique colors are created exclusively by DANIEL SMITH like Cascade Green, Green Gold and Moonglow. DANIEL SMITH also finds unusual pigments to make colors like Mayan Red, Lunar Blue and Enviro-Friendly Red Iron Oxide to provide more choices for artists. Other colors are from pigments DANIEL SMITH has sourced, often from very specific locations, colors like Burgundy Yellow Ochre, Monte Amiata Natural Sienna and Roasted French Ochre. DANIEL SMITH Watercolors are a favorite of artists all over the world , from professional artists to the beginning watercolorists because of the beautiful colors, consistent performance and lasting color or lightfastness. DANIEL SMITH Watercolors are packed with high quality pigments using pure gum arabic as the binder – no fillers. For each color, DANIEL SMITH selects the perfect grind to yield particle sizes that maximize the qualities inherent in the pigment, balancing maximum pigm
