These extra-fine watercolors span the color spectrum from the historical to natural earth and quinacridones. Outstanding color strength, extremely vibrant colors and excellent brushing properties make these paints desirable for any watercolor artist. The pigments are procured from every continent except Antarctica, and the paints are manufactured in Seattle, Washington.
Daniel Smith PrimaTek line of paints are made from minerals, some semi-precious, beginning in 1998 with a cache of Lapis Lazuli. We have a mineralogist who sources minerals which we process into pigment, then mill it into watercolor. PrimaTeks express themselves with gorgeous granulation, giving a sense of movement and depth that some artists have described as magical.
Daniel Smith Luminescent Watercolors are specialty colors with optical effects, found in nature, that regular colors cannot replicate. These colors have an iridescent sheen, shimmer, sparkle or color shift often seen in birds’ feathers, insects, fish, flowers, metals and water.
