DANIEL SMITH Extra Fine Watercolor 15ml, Burnt Yellow Ochre

DANIEL SMITH is the Innovative Manufacturer of Beautiful Watercolors for Artists Worldwide, and they offer the largest range of watercolors of any manufacturer, more than 240 colors. 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, and 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. The company is truly the worldwide leader of watercolors for artists, with their 240+ beautiful colors in the 15ml watercolors, the most of any manufacturer.

Many of the colors are traditional, relied upon by all artists, but there are also 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, that have been ground into pigments and mixed with gum arabic. The first was Lapis Lazuli Genuine in 1998, and 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. DANIEL SMITH has also developed safe and vibrant Cadmium Hues with the density and richness of cadmium colors, but without the cadmium pigment. These are virtually identical in color to their namesakes, but cleaner in mixtures and much stronger in tints.

Some unique colors are created exclusively by DANIEL SMITH, like Cascade Green, Green Gold, and Moonglow. The company also finds unusual pigments to make colors like Mayan Red, Lunar Blue, and Enviro-Friendly Red Iron Oxide, providing more choices for artists. Other colors are from pigments DANIEL SMITH has sourced, often from very specific locations, such as 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. They are packed with high-quality pigments using pure gum arabic as the binder, with 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. The company 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.

DANIEL SMITH Watercolors are made in the USA, in Seattle, Washington, for artists worldwide. The company is dedicated to providing the best materials for artists to create with, and their products are known for their quality and innovation.
