DANIEL SMITH Finest Watercolors

A classic watercolor of unsurpassed purity and permanence. ”The vision in the formulation of a new line of 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.

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:

• Lightfastness
• Color value
• Tinting strength
• Clarity
• Vibrancy
• Undertone
• Particle size
• Density
• Viscosity

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
