Fine Watercolor Paint Tube, Indian Yellow

DANIEL SMITH's Extra Fine Watercolors are renowned for their unsurpassed purity and permanence, making them a favorite among artists worldwide. The company's vision in formulating these watercolors is two-fold: to meet and exceed the highest industry standards for artist's paints, and to ensure that every batch is thoroughly tested and analyzed for its performance qualities.

As the worldwide leader in watercolors for artists, DANIEL SMITH offers an impressive collection of over 240 beautiful colors in the 15ml range, more than any other manufacturer. While many of these are traditional colors relied upon by all artists, DANIEL SMITH has also created a number of "truly unique" colors that have become indispensable to the watercolor community.

One of the unique offerings from DANIEL SMITH is their PrimaTek Watercolors, which are made from minerals, often semi-precious, that have been ground into pigments, mixed with gum arabic, and milled into vibrant watercolor paints. The first in this line was Lapis Lazuli Genuine, introduced in 1998, and since then, many more have been added, such as Amethyst Genuine, Piemontite Genuine, and Serpentine Genuine. These PrimaTek Watercolors often exhibit wonderful granulating effects that some artists have described as "magical."

In addition to the PrimaTek line, DANIEL SMITH also offers Luminescent Watercolors, which are designed to capture the sparkle, sheen, and reflective glow found in nature, such as the iridescence of hummingbird feathers or the sheen of metals.

Another innovative offering from DANIEL SMITH is their Cadmium Hues, which provide the density and richness of cadmium colors without the use of cadmium pigment. These safe and vibrant hues are virtually identical in color to their cadmium counterparts, but they are cleaner in mixtures and much stronger in tints, with working properties nearly identical to the low-soluble cadmium colors previously manufactured by DANIEL SMITH.

DANIEL SMITH also takes pride in creating 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.

Regardless of whether an artist is a professional or a beginner, DANIEL SMITH Watercolors are a favorite choice due to their beautiful colors, consistent performance, and excellent lightfastness. The company's commitment to quality is evident in their use of high-quality pigments and pure gum arabic as the binder, without any fillers.

In addition to their exceptional watercolor paints, DANIEL SMITH also offers a variety of complementary products, such as Watercolor Grounds, Masking Fluid, and Walnut Ink, providing artists with a wide range of creative tools.

DANIEL SMITH Watercolors are proudly made in the USA, in Seattle, Washington, and are available to artists worldwide, cementing the company's reputation as the Innovative Manufacturer of Beautiful Watercolors for Artists Worldwide.
