- Hansa Yellow Deep: With a touch of orange, this is a pure chroma color with high-tinting, semi-transparent pigments. is considered the ‘perfect yellow’, a fact which offers more control when mixing. Mayan Orange: Hot and intense! Use it straight from the tube for a blazing red-orange. As you add water, the color remains strong and disperses very evenly..
- Ultramarine Blue: Intense, pure and subtly granulating, it stands proudly alone pure blue without shading to any other color. Cobalt Blue: Power with every drop. Cobalt Blue is a neutral, non-staining primary blue which subtly modifies most pigments. Considered a “mixing pigment”, its transparent nature can cast a giant reticulating shadow..
- Viridian: This transparent non-staining pigment is an excellent glazing pigment. It’s a cool blue-green useful in mixing without staining other pigment particles and for soft edges. Yellow Ochre: Is a stunning gold hue, bright and clean yet true to its earthy nature. It s non-staining, can be lifted easily to create highlights and has a predicable soft granulation in washes ..
- Burnt Sienna Light: ”DANIEL SMITH has created Burnt Sienna Light just for me. It is a beautiful, transparent hue. It is permanent, it has power and it breaks down Ultramarine Blue perfectly. Burnt Sienna Light is fabulous when you want to place cool colors on top. I use it when I am going into my darks where I drop it into Ultramarine Blue (included in the set) or Alizarin Crimson to create magnificent darks” -Alvaro..
DANIEL SMITH Extra Fine Watercolors - classic watercolors of
unsurpassed purity and permanence. The vision in the formulation
of DANIEL SMITH watercolors was twofold;nbsp; 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,nbsp; 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 nbsp; 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 . nbsp;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.nbsp; 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.nbsp; Other colors
are from pigments DANIEL SMITH has sourced, often from very
specific locations, colors like Burdy Yellow Ochre, Monte
Amiata Natural Sienna and Roasted French Ochre.nbsp; DANIEL SMITH
