Hansa Yellow Medium Watercolor Paint, 5ml Tube

DANIEL SMITH: Crafting Watercolor Excellence for Artists Worldwide

DANIEL SMITH Watercolors are renowned for their unsurpassed purity, permanence, and innovative color selection. The vision behind their formulation was twofold: firstly, to produce watercolors with the highest levels of lightfastness and permanence, and secondly, to offer a unique and diverse range of colors.

DANIEL SMITH is the worldwide leader in watercolors for artists, boasting a collection of over 240 beautiful colors in their 15ml tubes, the most extensive offering of any manufacturer. This impressive lineup includes both traditional colors relied upon by all artists, as well as a multitude of "truly unique" shades created exclusively by DANIEL SMITH.

One of the brand's signature offerings are the PrimaTek Watercolors, made from minerals, often semi-precious, that are ground into pigments and blended with gum arabic. These unique colors, such as Lapis Lazuli Genuine, Amethyst Genuine, and Serpentine Genuine, often exhibit wonderful granulating effects that have been described as "magical" by artists.

In addition to their PrimaTek line, DANIEL SMITH also offers Luminescent Watercolors, which possess special optical effects perfect for subjects with a sparkle, sheen, or reflective glow. Furthermore, the brand has developed a series of safe and vibrant Cadmium Hues, replicating the density and richness of cadmium colors without the use of the actual cadmium pigment.

DANIEL SMITH's commitment to innovation extends beyond their paint formulations. They also offer a range of complementary products, including Watercolor Grounds, Masking Fluid, and Walnut Ink, providing artists with additional creative tools to enhance their watercolor experiences.

To make their paints accessible to all, DANIEL SMITH offers a variety of ways for artists to explore their watercolors, including 15ml and 5ml tubes, Watercolor Sticks, and Watercolor Dot Cards. The 5ml tubes are available in 88 of the brand's most popular colors, including select PrimaTek shades, catering to the needs of both professional artists and budding watercolorists.

Hansa Yellow Medium, a high-tinting organic pigment, is a prime example of DANIEL SMITH's commitment to quality. This "perfect yellow" offers exceptional lightfastness, semi-transparency, and non-granulating properties, allowing artists to achieve precise control and vibrant hues when mixing.

Ultimately, DANIEL SMITH Watercolors are the choice of artists worldwide, from professionals to beginners, due to their beautiful colors, consistent performance, and lasting lightfastness. Crafted in the USA using the finest quality pigments and pure gum arabic, DANIEL SMITH products are the epitome of excellence in the world of watercolor art.
