Daniel Smith Watercolor Sets
DANIEL SMITH Extra Fine Watercolors made their debut in 1993 announcing:
“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.”
Product detail
Primary Set
Brush on bright primary colors that multitask as foundations for other hues. An important set for students and new watercolorists, the Primary Color Set lets you customize basic colors. The set also collaborates with the Secondary Color Set to complete an entire colorwheel, multiplying possible shade combinations.
Secondary Set
A companion to the Primary 3-Color Set, and a beautiful selection on its own, the Secondary Set is remarkably versatile. Added to primary colors, you’ll mix shades with greater tone consistency. Jewel hues complement one another, and also function as the other half of the colorwheel.
Essentials Watercolor Set
The set has six, 5ml transparent watercolors. The pigments were carefully selected to give you a wide range of colors and values. When mixed together the colors you can create are endless!
PrimaTek Watercolor Set
PrimaTek Watercolors mix beautifully with other paints on your palette and bring excitement to the surface of a painting. They are heavier in body and settle into the valleys of your paper leaving behind wonderful granulation and texture. The pigments were carefully selected to give you a wide range of colors and textures you’ll find nowhere else. When mixed with other colors the possibilities are endless.
