Daniel Smith Extra Fine Watercolor 15ml Paint Tube, Cadmium Yellow Medium Hue

DANIEL SMITH Watercolors: Unsurpassed Purity and Permanence

DANIEL SMITH is the worldwide leader in watercolors for artists, offering more than 240 beautiful colors in their 15ml watercolor line, the most of any manufacturer. The vision behind DANIEL SMITH watercolors was twofold: to meet and exceed the highest industry standards for artist's paints, and to ensure that every batch is tested and analyzed for its performance qualities.

The brand's PrimaTek Watercolors are particularly noteworthy, as they are made from minerals, often semi-precious, that have been ground into pigments and mixed with gum arabic. These colors, such as Lapis Lazuli Genuine, Amethyst Genuine, and Serpentine Genuine, often exhibit wonderful granulating effects that artists have described as "magical."

DANIEL SMITH's Luminescent Watercolors are another highlight, designed to capture the sparkle, sheen, and reflective glow found in nature, such as the iridescence of hummingbird feathers or the sheen of metals.

The company has also developed safe and vibrant Cadmium Hue watercolors, which provide the density and richness of cadmium colors without the use of the cadmium pigment. These hues are virtually identical in color to their namesakes, but cleaner in mixtures and much stronger in tints, while maintaining the same staining power, semi-transparency, and excellent lightfastness as the low-soluble cadmium colors previously offered.

In addition to these innovative product lines, DANIEL SMITH creates unique colors exclusively for their brand, such as Cascade Green, Green Gold, and Moonglow, as well as sourcing unusual pigments from specific locations to offer colors like Burgundy Yellow Ochre, Monte Amiata Natural Sienna, and Roasted French Ochre.

DANIEL SMITH Watercolors are a favorite among artists of all levels, from professionals to beginners, due to their beautiful colors, consistent performance, and lasting color or lightfastness. These high-quality watercolors are packed with pure pigments and gum arabic, without any fillers, and the perfect grind is selected for each color to maximize the inherent qualities of the pigment.

Beyond their exceptional watercolor paints, DANIEL SMITH also offers a range of complementary products, including Watercolor Grounds, Masking Fluid, and Walnut Ink, providing artists with extra creative means to explore their craft.

DANIEL SMITH is the Innovative Manufacturer of Beautiful Watercolors for Artists Worldwide, and their commitment to quality, creativity, and customer satisfaction is evident in their extensive product line, made in the USA, in Seattle, Washington.
