    OMG...I know what people have been talking about now. These watercolors are beautiful, not overly vibrant but just true color, they lay down perfectly...not a bit of graininess and mixing is a breeze. Started with the smaller set to try them out but will be adding on soon.

    I was missing beautiful pure color in the watercolor palettes I had bought. This brand did not disappoint. The colors are beautiful and mix well.

    Great watercolours and very helpful in getting accustomed to better brands. BEWARE! Once you use DS and M Graham, anything else will be hard to use! ;)

    I am in love with these watercolors. The granulation is so fun to play with, and you really get a good deal price-wise. Unique and quality.

    This is a well-written inspirational volume is a source of delight and reference for creative gardeners/designers. It is not designed, however, for those who seek simple formulas for plant arrangement or seek trendy, flashy displays. Using mostly natural materials, the book suggests how to assemble containers, wreaths, etc. to blend art and nature. While suggesting containers and specific plants, these can be considered as suggestions. By understanding the broad principles of design, color choice, etc. the reader will be prepared for their own creations. There are ideas both for outdoor and indoor displays as well as helpful hints such as how to dry flowers, characteristics of various containers, preferred flowers for cutting, etc. While the book reflects the beauty of the Terrain store (which happens to be near me), the author quite admirably does not push any specific products offered by this or any other commercial source. Having now collected many gardening and design books, this one clearly stands out. I read most of it when it arrived and know I will return often, checking its excellent index.

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 pigment load with minimum vehicle content.

 

DANIEL SMITH offers many ways to experience their Watercolors as well as providing extra creative means for artists with their Watercolor Grounds, Masking Fluid and Walnut Ink.

  • 15ml Watercolors​, available in more than 240 colors, the most of any manufacturer.
  • 5ml Watercolors​, available in 88 of the most popular colors DANIEL SMITH makes.
  • Watercolor Sticks​, 51 popular DANIEL SMITH Watercolors shaped into stick form to draw and paint with, a new way to expressively use watercolors.

Two sizes: 238 Dot Card to try nearly the entire line of DANIEL SMITH Watercolors and the 66 Dot Card to try many DANIEL SMITH Watercolors.
