Daniel Smith Master Artist Watercolor Paint Set

DANIEL SMITH, the Innovative Manufacturer of Beautiful Watercolors for Artists Worldwide, offers a diverse range of over 250 colors, including the exciting PrimaTek watercolors made from minerals (like Amethyst) and other unique colors (like Moonglow) not available elsewhere, as well as Luminescent Watercolors that allow artists to capture the luminescent colors found in nature.

One of the artist-preferred sets is the DANIEL SMITH Prafull Sawant's Master Artist Set of 6 (5ml) watercolors. Prafull Sawant, an artist from India, shares his admiration for the quality of DANIEL SMITH watercolors: "I love to capture the light and atmosphere of a scene in my paintings using neutral tones and Ultramarine Blue. The 6 colors in this set are the perfect choice. DANIEL SMITH watercolors give me strong pigments and transparency that blends smoothly on paper. The granulation capacities add a variety of dimensions, texture and depth to my paintings."

Among the exceptional DANIEL SMITH colors is the New Gamboge, which offers an excellent lightfast formulation, and is more staining than Yellow Ochre, with equal tinting ability to Raw Sienna. The DANIEL SMITH Raw Sienna is an extremely permanent inorganic earth pigment of low intensity but medium-high tinting strength, making it a versatile choice for balancing the transparent intensity of Quinacridone Gold, Burnt Orange, and Burnt Scarlet.

Another DANIEL SMITH standout is the Pyrrol Orange, a semi-transparent/semi-opaque orange that is a smooth, saturated, and pure addition to the watercolorist's palette. It is perfect for capturing the glory of a summer garden or the magic of a tropical sunset.

The DANIEL SMITH Burnt Sienna Light is redder than the traditional Burnt Sienna, more transparent, and slightly less granulating. It works well as a light flesh tone for portraits in very light washes, and as a rich red-brown in darker washes.

DANIEL SMITH Ultramarine Blue plots cooler and bluer than the more saturated French Ultramarine, but both blues have equal permanence, lightfastness, and transparency. Ultramarine Blue is slightly less granular in concentrated washes, making it a versatile choice for less saturation, sedimentation, and cost, or for mixing with a cool red to create dark, effective neutrals.

The DANIEL SMITH Undersea Green is a medium to high staining green that blends French Ultramarine with Quinacridone Gold. The inorganic, sedimentary French Ultramarine settles and granulates, while the organic, transparent Quinacridone Gold floats into a golden halo. This color is beautiful when applied with Moonglow, Ultramarines, and Quinacridone mixtures, and can be used to color-coordinate and lend atmosphere to various passages in paintings. Undersea Green is also stunning when touched damp or dry-brushed with Interference Gold, and can be used to capture the essence of autumn leaves.
