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 variations from dark to light add the illusion of depth. This rich, mid-range green is cool, dark, and mossy straight from the tube. In washes, it has stunning clarity. In any application, it is excellently lightfast.

DANIEL SMITH is the worldwide leader in watercolours for artists, offering the most beautiful colours of any manufacturer. Many traditional colours are relied upon by artists, and many “truly unique” colours made only by DANIEL SMITH have become increasingly important to 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 wonderful granulating effects that some artists have called “magical.”

Luminescent Watercolours have special optical effects perfect for subjects with sparkle, sheen, or a 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 that DANIEL SMITH previously manufactured.

Other unique watercolours are created from pigments that DANIEL SMITH has sourced, often from very specific locations, including 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, providing more choices for artists.
