Artist grade, high quality and highly pigmented watercolor. These individual pans are great for refilling your existing confection sets or for using individually.
Cleaner, more transparent and brighter in chroma than Cadmium Yellow Light, this is a high-tinting, organic pigment. Hansa Yellow is considered the ‘perfect yellow’, offering more control when mixing. Painters admire the purity of this primary pigment and ability to adjust its temperature while avoiding a gray from a hidden complement. Think of a yellow pepper.
Seldom used at full tube strength, this transparent, non-staining pigment is an excellent glazing pigment and a portrait painter’s essential. It’s a cool blue-green useful in mixing without staining other pigment particles and for soft edges in florals. It is the secret hidden ingredient in Moonglow. Viridian can quickly modify reds, and in combination with the Quinacridones, its versatility has multiplied.
A true blue, a blue’s blue. Verditer Blue is an historical pigment with a place on every palette. Begin with a dark application, a deep azure lake, and watch how this slightly granulating paint travels quickly in water. Fade to the color of cornflowers and create surprising effects in a wash. Dilute it to the palest baby blue. Enjoy every nuance of this wonderful, semi-transparent watercolor.
Made from jewelry-quality stone, this versatile rose pink is wonderful for portraits and landscapes. Used wet into wet, it creates a soft, transparent glow, without granulation. At full value, it is more intense but still transparent, low-staining and non-granulating.
Naples Yellow will make you think of late Summer with it’s sunflowers, wheat fields and sunny, dry landscapes. This dusty yellow with a touch of Venetian Red is made a neutral semi-opaque with the addition of zinc oxide. More ideas for Naples Yellow would be dry yellow grasses easily brushstroked over painted fences and barns, the zinc oxide opacity aiding the Naples Yellow to show over darker colors.
DANIEL SMITH Raw Sienna Light has more golden yellow tones than our Raw Sienna. This Sienna is a granulating color too, but a bit smoother in washes and is non-staining rather than low staining. Washes suggest sunny wheat fields, dried savannah grasses and other sunbaked landscapes.
Transparent Ultramarine Turquoise is the granular, low-staining cousin of Phthalo Turquoise. Use it when less stain and more granulation is desired, and consider it for an interesting, non-traditional glaze.

Like the blooms of its namesake flowering vine, Wisteria is a delicate, red-leaning lavender. Similar in color to Ultramarine Red but with different properties, this non-granulating and non-staining color paints smoothly and lifts easily. Wonderful for painting orchids and other florals.
The craggy peaks of the Cascade Mountains that divide lush, western Washington from the dry, high plains of the east, inspired this unique green.

Palette with 12 pans of different iridescent watercolors by Jane Davenport.
These watercolors are formulated to create depth and have a sparkling, iridescent effect when painted and exposed to light. Can be used on cardstock, paper, walls, and furniture. Look amazing on dark surfaces.
This clear, dark, red-leaning orange thins into perfectly smooth washes. The color is vivid and warm, lovely used on its own, and great in mixes. Try it with granulating greens or blues to create exquisite earth colors and shadow-grays that are both textural and warm.
Daniel Smith watercolors are a world reference in the world of watercolor. They have the widest range on the market, they have been handcrafted in Seattle (USA) since 1993 and have excellent resistance to light as well as finely ground particles.
Ultramarine Blue plots cooler and bluer than the more saturated French Ultramarine. Temperature aside, both blues have equal permanence, lightfastness and transparency. Ultramarine Blue is slightly less granular in concentrated washes. For less saturation, sedimentation and cost, use Ultramarine Blue straight, for vibrant crayon-like color or mixed with a cool red for dark, effective neutrals.
Dot Cards are the perfect way to access a whole universe of color cheaply.
These small drops of dehydrated watercolor on watercolor paper allow us to see what a color is like before buying it.
Water frees this amazing three-pigment blend to perform miracles. Watch and wait as Anthraquinoid Red floats, Ultramarine Blue settles and Viridian grays the resulting violet color. Selectively blot and lift a surface wash to expose delicate blue-greens. A description of the fascinating light and dark washes can never match a personal experience! Use Moonglow in shadows and as a silhouette pigment and enjoy its reaction to salt application in background washes. Its neutral tinting property makes it effective with almost all the DANIEL SMITH watercolors. Try introducing the Luminescent Interference pigments to areas of wet, damp or dry Moonglow. Look to Undersea Green as a companion pigment. And try a Moonglow sky and long shadows on sunset snow scenes.
Jane’s Grey is a unique color in the market. Most grays, whether Payne’s Gray, Neutral Tint or others, are made with a black pigment, and often phthalo blue is included. Artist Jane Blundell wanted a gray without the often-dulling effect of a black pigment, and without the staining effects of phthalo blue. She wanted a gray that was liftable and granulating to create the lovely look of stormy skies and softened shadows. It will also work as a neutral tint, darkening colors without changing them. Using a gray that is made with palette colors maintains color harmony in an artwork. Many artists mix ultramarine blue and burnt sienna as they work, but no one was making this gorgeous mix as a convenience color, so she did to make it easy to create rich darks with ease.
Quality metallic coloured water-soluble pencils from Derwent. These highly reflective and pigmented pencils blend beautifully to create vivid and striking effects. They are particularly effective when used on dark backgrounds to accentuate their shimmering quality.
Spatter or drop a brushload of Buff Titanium into a moist wash and enjoy the pigment displacement, it is especially effective used that way to make clouds in the sky. Unique to DANIEL SMITH, Buff Titanium resembles the ecru shades of sand and antique lace and simulates the porous texture of an eggshell. It is a most welcome neutral, with its’ semi-transparent to opaque, non-staining properties. Pre-mix Buff Titanium with Quinacridone Rose or Perinone Orange for subtle hues and matte surfaces ideal for the velvety petals of your favorite flowers. Mix with Indigo or Van Dyke Brown to create slate-colored shadows and soft feathers. Glaze a dried landscape with a misty, atmospheric mood.
Used since prehistoric times, an extremely permanent inorganic earth pigment of low intensity but medium-high tinting strength. Balance the transparent intensity of Quinacridone Gold, Burnt Orange and Burnt Scarlet with the earthiness of Raw Sienna. Try a moist Raw Sienna wash touched or spattered with Lunar Earth or Lunar Black creates unique texture effects.

DANIEL SMITH Aussie Red Gold is the rich, golden color of ochre cliffs set aflame at sunset. This brilliant, reddish gold will add glowing light to Autumn leaves, late summer flowers and landscapes. Australian Red Gold is transparent, non-granulating, low staining and performs wonderfully, you will love it on your palette!
The transparent non-staining properties of this cool yellow can effectively warm darker hues without affecting their transparency. Landscape artists often rely on Aureolin to successfully glaze their watercolors or as a light wash in underpainting, to add the appearance of sunshine. This pigment quality, along with the ability to lift and to create soft edges, makes Aureolin especially useful to portrait and floral painters as well.
Holbein Artists' Gouache is intensely saturated, opaque, and finely milled—so it handles beautifully with a brush. Made from top-shelf pigments and natural gum arabic, the same building blocks as watercolor, but with a much higher percentage of solid pigment. The additional pigment load gives Holbein gouache both its opacity and its gorgeous matte finish.
This boxed set of 12 colors celebrates the look and feel of summer. Dark, saturated colors dominate the Irodori summer set, with deep brown earth, hot orange and red, fully-developed foliage greens, and a variety of tropical water tones. White and black—for bright highlights and deep shadow—are included here, too, since summer is the highest-contrast season.
A brilliant purple with remarkable blue undertones and a granulating texture. Try mixing this bold color with Prussian Green for surprisingly soft blue hues. At full strength, this violet is dark enough for deep twilight shadows. Mix with water and a range of tones are revealed. A graceful addition to the watercolorists’ palette, this is the perfect purple for dynamic floral paintings.

We bring you an unusually beautiful Serpentine pigment from the land down under. This Australian green-color serpentine is of a variety called Stichtite. A soft stone used cross-culturally for carving amulets used to ward off harm, our newest PrimaTek has no comparison in any known paint palette. This surprising, semi-transparent paint is a good green that develops granulation with specks of burnt scarlet – a great addition to your landscape and floral palette.
Why choose Luminescent Watercolors? Because Nature has optical surprises in the colors that you see in birds’ feathers, insects, fish, and seashells, many flowers also have a pearly, dewy sheen to them. Consider the iridescence of a snail’s trail or a silvery spider’s web. Other things that also have a sparkle, or glow depending on the light, a silvery or golden moon, clouds aglow at sunset, rainbows, the sparkle of snow and ice, and glint of water reflections. Don’t forget the sheen of metals like pewter, copper, silver, and gold. There are also mythic subjects that are often thought of as having a special iridescence to them such as fairies, dragons, mermaids and other fantasy figures.

A deep, luscious, grape-juicy reddish-violet. The masstone is dark and intense, shifting in tints toward a rich red violet with a brownish-purple cast. Because of its relative neutrality, it’s a natural-looking choice for portrait, landscape or botanical work-imagine how good it looks with complementary greens. It also makes strong, interesting shadows.
Sodalite, with a distinctive deep blue color is one of the components of Lapis Lazuli and very rare. DANIEL SMITH Sodalite is the finest quality and deepest blue that comes from Greenland and the flanks of Italy’s Mt. Vesuvius. In watercolor, the inky color of this semi-precious stone granulates as it dries, layering a blue-black textural surface on a smooth blue-gray undertone. Low staining, lightfast and semi-transparent, Sodalite creates a three-dimensional quality as it dries.
Permanent, semi-transparent to semi-opaque and medium staining, this fire engine red is cleaner than Cadmium or Permanent Red. It is a modern synthetic-organic pigment. While close in value to its Perylene cousin, it disperses more evenly and is less granular.
Artist grade, high quality and highly pigmented watercolor. These individual pans are great for refilling your existing confection sets or for using individually.
A warm honey-bronze color with lustrous sparkle provided by very fine films of iron oxide. The fibrous, fairly fragile Bronzite stone from Brazil is occasionally used in jewelry but excels as a watercolor pigment. It’s a warm golden-brown in mass tone – somewhere between ochre and sienna, but distinctly different – that lets down into pale washes of soft, always warm, sandy beige. In a wash on cold press or rough paper, the brown settles out of this intriguing special-effect color.
PrimaTek Green Apatite Genuine Watercolor lets you create a beautiful range of greens – fresh yellow-green to deep olive – with a single tube. This sedimentary color is a dark, almost brown, olive green in mass tone. In washes, the brown settles out of a vivid natural green, creating memorable texture and contrast.
Forbidden by purists, Chinese White is much more than a repair patch. This semi-transparent, pure white offers excellent permanency and a medium-high tinting strength. It’s great for lightening other colors. Drop and spatter Chinese White into a damp gray wash to describe the moist, mushy snowfalls of the Pacific Northwest’s coastal lowlands. Try a brushload of Chinese White where water’s edge meets snowbanks to indicate melting. For field flowers in spring meadows, a touch of Chinese White into Carbazole Violet helps create clover and other wildflowers. And, of course, you can always use it to paint details and highlights! If the paint works, use it.
