DANIEL SMITH Watercolor 5ml Tubes, Jean Haines Master Artist Set 10 Watercolor Tubes

This set of 10, 5ml tubes of DANIEL SMITH Watercolors was personally selected by Jean Haines, who expressed her love for the stunning colors available in the DANIEL SMITH Watercolor collection and her fascination with how many of them interact to produce fascinatingly unique effects. She is delighted to share her favorite shades, which she believes are perfect for her style.

DANIEL SMITH Watercolors have become the favorite among artists worldwide for several reasons. First, the company has three rules for the pigments used in their watercolors: they must be safe, lightfast, and reliable. Out of over 250 colors, all but two have an ASTM lightfastness rating of Excellent (100+ years) or Very Good (100 years), ensuring consistent performance from tube to tube.

The watercolors are developed, manufactured, and hand-packed in small batches to maintain consistent quality. One of the three in-house chemists, who has over 30 years of experience with DANIEL SMITH, tests and analyzes each batch for qualities such as lightfastness, tinting strength, brushability, reliability, color clarity, and mixability. This attention to detail is why DANIEL SMITH has become the top manufacturer of watercolors worldwide.

The Jean Haines' Master Artist Set of 10 vivid and exciting watercolors in 5ml tubes showcases some of her personal favorites. Haines describes the "fascinating quality of each hue" she has selected, leading to "beautiful watercolor effects that often cannot be repeated" and a "creative experience when painting that can only be described as the very best!"

The set includes the following colors:

NICKEL AZO YELLOW: A transparent yellow that is perfect for capturing the brilliant yellows of Autumn leaves against a deep blue sky.

AUSSIE RED GOLD: A rich, golden color that will add a glowing light to Autumn leaves, late summer flowers, and landscapes.

OPERA PINK: A primary magenta with a hint of fluorescent pink granulation, producing some of the most brilliant, glowing mixes.
