Daniel Smith Extra Fine Watercolors were released in 1993 and are among the most popular watercolor paints used by artists across the world.
The 200+ colors in the range combine ancient hues and precious minerals with the most modern developments in paint technology. Daniel Smith strive to produce watercolors with the best possible lightfastness and permanence.
The PrimaTek colors are made with genuine minerals, finely ground into pigments. Many are semi-precious minerals, such as amethyst, hematite and lapis lazuli.
The Luminescent range contains four different types. Iridescent colors reflect light like a mirror while Interference colors refract and scatter the light. Duochrome paints bounce between two colors depending on the light source, and Pearlescent colors add an opalescent shine.
Daniel Smith watercolors are not tested on animals. The only animal-derived ingredient is the pigment PBk9. PBk9 is found in the following watercolors only: Sepia, Ivory Black, Joseph Z's Neutral Gray, and Payne's Gray.
