Daniel Smith Extra Fine Watercolour Cascade Green 15ml

Cascade Green PBr7 PB15 Vert Cascade

The craggy peaks of the Cascade Mountains divide lush, damp western Washington from the dry high plains of the east. Conifer forests, rushing streams, and alpine meadows showcase a million shades of green and inspire this versatile addition to our artist-preferred greens.

As you brush it on, subtle variation from dark to light adds the illusion of depth. Straight from the tube, this rich, mid-range green is cool, dark and mossy. In washes, it has stunning clarity. In any application, it has excellent lightfastness.

DANIEL SMITH is truly the worldwide leader of watercolours for artists with 252 beautiful colours in the 15 ml watercolours, the most of any manufacturer. 

Many are traditional colours relied upon by all artists, and there are many “truly unique” colours made only by DANIEL SMITH which have become so important to watercolour artists.

PrimaTek Watercolours made from minerals, often semi-precious minerals, which have been ground into pigments, mixed with gum arabic (the binder) and milled into PrimaTek Watercolours.  The first was Lapis Lazuli Genuine in 1998, since then, many more have been added, colours such as Amethyst Genuine, Piemontite Genuine and Serpentine Genuine.  Most of these colours have wonderful granulating effects that some artists have called “magical”.

Luminescent Watercolours 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 colours without the cadmium pigment.  Virtually identical in colour 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 colours DANIEL SMITH previously manufactured.

Other Unique Watercolours from pigments that DANIEL SMITH has sourced, often from very specific locations, colours like Burgundy Yellow Ochre, Monte Amiata Natural Sienna and Roasted French Ochre.  Some are created exclusively by DANIEL SMITH such as Cascade Green, Deep Sap Green and Green Gold.   DANIEL SMITH also finds unusual pigments to make colours like Anthraquinoid Scarlet, Lunar Blue, and Enviro-Friendly Red Iron Oxide to provide more choices for artists.
