DANIEL SMITH is truly the worldwide leader in watercolours for artists. Its watercolours contain the most beautiful colours of any manufacturer. While all artists rely on many traditional colours, Daniel Smith creates many "truly unique" colours that have become essential to watercolour artists.
PrimaTek Watercolours are made from minerals, often semi-precious minerals, that have been ground into pigments, mixed with gum arabic (the binder), and milled into Them. 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 brilliance 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 more robust in tints. The functional 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 are created from pigments that DANIEL SMITH has sourced, often from particular locations, such as 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.
