DANIEL SMITH is the world leader in watercolours for artists. It offers beautiful colours in watercolours—more than any other manufacturer. Many traditional colours are relied upon by artists, and several "truly unique" colours made only by DANIEL SMITH have become essential for watercolour artists.
PrimaTek Watercolours are 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 colours have been added, such as Amethyst Genuine, Piemontite Genuine, and Serpentine Genuine. Most of these colours have excellent granulating effects that some artists have called "magical."
Luminescent watercolours have special optical effects perfect for subjects with sparkle, sheen, or reflective glow, such as 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 created with pigments that DANIEL SMITH has sourced, often from particular locations, include 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 create colours like Anthraquinoid Scarlet, Lunar Blue, and Enviro-Friendly Red Iron Oxide, providing more choices for artists.
