Hansa Yellow Light Watercolor Paint Tube, 15ml by Daniel Smith

DANIEL SMITH, the worldwide leader in watercolors for artists, offers a classic range of Extra Fine Watercolors renowned for their unsurpassed purity and permanence. The vision behind the formulation of DANIEL SMITH watercolors was twofold: to meet and exceed the highest industry standards for artist's paints, and to ensure every batch is meticulously tested and analyzed for its performance qualities.

With over 240 beautiful colors in the 15ml watercolor range, DANIEL SMITH boasts the most extensive collection of any manufacturer. Many are traditional colors relied upon by all artists, while the company also offers a wide array of "truly unique" colors made only by DANIEL SMITH, which have become indispensable to the watercolor community.

The PrimaTek Watercolor line is made from finely ground minerals, often semi-precious, blended with gum arabic to create stunning pigments. The first in this series, Lapis Lazuli Genuine, was introduced in 1998, and has since been joined by other mesmerizing colors such as Amethyst Genuine, Piemontite Genuine, and Serpentine Genuine. Many of these PrimaTek colors exhibit wonderful granulating effects that some artists have described as "magical."

DANIEL SMITH's Luminescent Watercolors are designed to capture the sparkle, sheen, and reflective glow found in nature, from the iridescence of hummingbird feathers to the sheen of metals. These unique optical effects make them perfect for a wide range of subjects.

Addressing the concerns around cadmium pigments, DANIEL SMITH has developed a line of safe and vibrant Cadmium Hues that offer the same density and richness as their cadmium counterparts, but without the use of the cadmium pigment. These Cadmium Hues are cleaner in mixtures and much stronger in tints, while retaining the staining power, semi-transparency, and excellent lightfastness of the original low-soluble cadmium colors.

DANIEL SMITH's commitment to innovation is evident in their exclusive color creations, like Cascade Green, Green Gold, and Moonglow, as well as their sourcing of unusual pigments from specific locations to produce colors like Mayan Red, Lunar Blue, and Enviro-Friendly Red Iron Oxide. These unique offerings provide artists with an unparalleled palette to explore.

DANIEL SMITH Watercolors are a favorite among artists worldwide, from professionals to beginners, thanks to their beautiful colors, consistent performance, and exceptional lightfastness. Packed with high-quality pigments and pure gum arabic as the binder, each color is carefully formulated to maximize the inherent qualities of the pigment, striking a perfect balance between pigment load and vehicle content.

In addition to their renowned watercolor paints, DANIEL SMITH offers a variety of complementary products, including Watercolor Grounds, Masking Fluid, and Walnut Ink, allowing artists to further expand their creative possibilities. Proudly made in the USA, in Seattle, Washington, DANIEL SMITH continues to be the Innovative Manufacturer of Beautiful Watercolors for Artists Worldwide.
