Pearlescent White Daniel Smith Watercolor Paint, 15ml Tube

DANIEL SMITH Watercolors are a favorite of artists all over the world, from professional artists to the beginning watercolorists, owing to their beautiful colors, consistent performance, and lasting color or lightfastness. The vision in the formulation of DANIEL SMITH watercolors was twofold: to meet and exceed the highest industry standards for the manufacture of artist's paints, and to ensure that every batch made is tested and analyzed for its performance qualities.

DANIEL SMITH is truly the worldwide leader of watercolors for artists, offering an impressive range of 240+ beautiful colors in the 15ml watercolors, the most of any manufacturer. Many of these are traditional colors relied upon by all artists, while there are also many "truly unique" colors made only by DANIEL SMITH that have become so important to watercolor artists.

PrimaTek Watercolors, a unique offering from DANIEL SMITH, are made from minerals, often semi-precious minerals, that have been ground into pigments, mixed with gum arabic (the binder), and milled into these exceptional watercolors. The first of these was Lapis Lazuli Genuine, introduced in 1998, and 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 from DANIEL SMITH have special optical effects that make them perfect for subjects with a sparkle, sheen, or reflective glow, such as the iridescence of hummingbird feathers or the sheen of metals.

To address the health concerns associated with cadmium pigments, DANIEL SMITH has developed safe and vibrant Cadmium Hues that are virtually identical in color to their namesakes but 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.

DANIEL SMITH also creates unique colors exclusively, like Cascade Green, Green Gold, and Moonglow, as well as finding unusual pigments to make colors like Mayan Red, Lunar Blue, and Enviro-Friendly Red Iron Oxide, providing more choices for artists. Additionally, the company sources colors from specific locations, such as Burgundy Yellow Ochre, Monte Amiata Natural Sienna, and Roasted French Ochre.

DANIEL SMITH Watercolors are packed with high-quality pigments using pure gum arabic as the binder, with 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.

In addition to their exceptional watercolor paints, DANIEL SMITH offers various products to enhance the creative experience, including Watercolor Grounds, Masking Fluid, and Walnut Ink. All DANIEL SMITH products are made in the USA, in Seattle, Washington, for artists worldwide, with an ASTM lightfastness rating that is excellent and a non-staining, granulating, and transparent formula, including their Pearlescent White 15ml Tube.
