## Description

DANIEL SMITH Extra Fine Watercolors - classic watercolors of unsurpassed purity and permanence. The vision in the formulation of DANIEL SMITH watercolors was twofold​; First and foremost, to produce watercolors that are the best in lightfastness and permanence.Second, to offer a selection of truly unique colors.DANIEL SMITH Watercolors are formulated to meet and exceed the highest industry standards​ for the manufacture of artist’s paints, and every batch made is tested and analyzed for its performance qualities.DANIEL SMITH is truly the worldwide leader of watercolors for artists with 240+ beautiful colors in the 15ml watercolors, the most of any manufacturer​. Many are traditional colors relied upon by all artists, and there are many “truly unique” colors made only by DANIEL SMITH that have become so important to watercolor artists.PrimaTek Watercolors are made from minerals, often semi precious minerals, that have been ground into pigments, mixed with gum arabic (the binder) and milled into PrimaTek Watercolors​. The first was Lapis Lazuli Genuine in 1998, since then, many more have been added such as Amethyst Genuine, Piemontite Genuine and Serpentine Genuine. Most of these colors have wonderful granulating effects that some artists have called “magical”.Luminescent Watercolors have special optical effects perfect for subjects that have a sparkle, sheen, or reflective glow​ like the iridescence of hummingbird feathers or the sheen of metals.Cadmium Hues, DANIEL SMITH has developed safe and vibrant Cadmium Hues with the density and richness of cadmium colors without the cadmium pigment​. Virtually identical in color to their namesakes, they are cleaner in mixtures and much stronger in tints. The working properties – staining power, semi-transparency and excellent lightfastness – are nearly identical to those of the low-soluble cadmium colors DANIEL SMITH previously manufactured.Some unique colors are created exclusively by DANIEL SMITH​ like Cascade Green, Green Gold and Moonglow. DANIEL SMITH also finds unusual pigments to make colors like Mayan Red, Lunar Blue and Enviro-Friendly Red Iron Oxide to provide more choices for artists. Other colors are from pigments DANIEL SMITH has sourced, often from very specific locations, colors like Burgundy Yellow Ochre, Monte Amiata Natural Sienna and Roasted French Ochre. DANIEL SMITH Watercolors are a favorite of artists all over the world​, from professional artists to the beginning watercolorists because of the beautiful colors, consistent performance and lasting color or lightfastness.DANIEL SMITH Watercolors are packed with high quality pigments using pure gum arabic as the binder – no fillers.​ For each color, DANIEL SMITH selects the perfect grind to yield particle sizes that maximize the qualities inherent in the pigment, balancing maximum pigment load with minimum vehicle content.DANIEL SMITH offers many ways to experience their Watercolors as well as providing extra creative means for artists with their Watercolor Grounds, Masking Fluid and Walnut Ink. 15ml Watercolors​, available in more than 240 colors, the most of any manufacturer.5ml Watercolors​, available in 88 of the most popular colors DANIEL SMITH makes.Watercolor Sticks​, 51 popular DANIEL SMITH Watercolors shaped into stick form to draw and paint with, a new way to expressively use watercolors.Watercolor Dot Cards, ​a great way to try DANIEL SMITH Watercolors without buying whole tubes of paint.

DANIEL SMITH products are made in the USA, in Seattle, Washington for artists worldwide.

Review: Not Chinese. Very good quality product from a reputable company - These paints are among the worlds finest watercolors. Because they offer so many colors and they act in a range of ways, I recommend buying a dot card. It seems expensive but it save making swatches. It’s a fantastic reference to know the staining, granulation or smoothness of texture, opacity, mixing ability, lightfastness etc. I check off which ones I have. You can creat pans from them or use straight out of the tube for a high pigmented fluid application. Some are genuine minerals! I say not Chinese because many of these world class companies are being undercut by cheap products of inferior quality with similar packaging. The consumers are the ones to bear the brunt of this. They buy cheap products they don’t work as well, the good companies have to raise their prices and when the consumer realizes that they can’t get good work from cheap products they find the prices have had to surge. I have watched this over many years. Don’t buy cheap products from countries that don’t value ethical business practices!

I recently delved head first into water colors and I went super cheap. I have slowly but surely been trying better and better paints. I have developed a love of Daniel Smith Watercolor paints because of how beautiful they are to work with. The way they spread out on the paper and granulize is amazing. Also the way that the the paint colors mix on the page is like they are in a dance. itis amazing. Cheap paints do not do that at all. At 12.50 a tube I have to buy these jokers a tube at a time. But still they are so worth it. Once you get professional paints going back to student grade is a let down and you just never want to do it.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ True Artist Quality Aquarelle
*by I***A on February 27, 2026*

the best aquarelle paints i’ve ever used if you're looking to get the water to work for you, these paints bleed and spread like no other. i got these to try my hand at effects like Nicolas Lopez and if your paint and paper are quality (thick on thick) and you have a proper fine mist sprayer….the effect is incredible (below is a first run)
