Amazonite Genuine Watercolor Paint, 5ml Tube

DANIEL SMITH Watercolors are the worldwide leader in artist-quality watercolors, offering over 240 beautiful colors in the 15ml line - the most of any manufacturer. These classic watercolors are renowned for their unparalleled purity, permanence, and lightfastness.

The vision behind DANIEL SMITH's formulation was twofold: firstly, to produce watercolors that meet and exceed the highest industry standards for artist's paints; and secondly, to offer a selection of truly unique color choices. Each batch of DANIEL SMITH Watercolors is thoroughly tested and analyzed to ensure optimal performance qualities.

Many of the colors in the DANIEL SMITH range are traditional hues relied upon by all artists, but the brand also offers a wealth of "truly unique" colors made only by DANIEL SMITH. These have become indispensable to watercolor artists around the globe.

The PrimaTek Watercolor line is particularly noteworthy, as these colors are made from ground mineral pigments, often semi-precious varieties, blended with gum arabic. The first PrimaTek color was Lapis Lazuli Genuine, introduced in 1998, and the range has since expanded to include captivating hues like Amethyst Genuine, Piemontite Genuine, and Serpentine Genuine. These PrimaTek colors often exhibit wonderful granulating effects that some artists have described as "magical".

Luminescent Watercolors from DANIEL SMITH are formulated with special optical properties, making them perfect for subjects with a sheen, sparkle, or reflective glow, such as iridescent hummingbird feathers or metallic surfaces.

Furthermore, DANIEL SMITH has developed a line of safe and vibrant Cadmium Hue colors that offer the density and richness of cadmium pigments without the use of actual cadmium. These Cadmium Hues are cleaner in mixtures and significantly stronger in tints, while retaining the staining power, semi-transparency, and excellent lightfastness of the original cadmium colors.

DANIEL SMITH also sources unusual pigments from specific locations around the world to create unique color offerings, such as Mayan Red, Lunar Blue, and Enviro-Friendly Red Iron Oxide. Other colors, like Burgundy Yellow Ochre, Monte Amiata Natural Sienna, and Roasted French Ochre, are the result of DANIEL SMITH's meticulous pigment procurement efforts.

DANIEL SMITH Watercolors are a favorite among artists of all levels, from professionals to beginners, due to their beautiful colors, consistent performance, and exceptional lightfastness. These watercolors are formulated using only the highest quality pigments and pure gum arabic binder, with no fillers.

To provide artists with even more creative possibilities, DANIEL SMITH offers a range of complementary products, including Watercolor Grounds, Masking Fluid, and Walnut Ink. The brand also offers 15ml and 5ml watercolor tubes, Watercolor Sticks, and Watercolor Dot Cards, allowing artists to easily explore and experience the full DANIEL SMITH watercolor palette.
