DANIEL SMITH Extra Fine Watercolours - classic watercolours of unsurpassed purity and permanence.The vision in the formulation of DANIEL SMITH watercolours was twofold;
. First and foremost, to produce watercolours that are the best in lightfastness and permanence.
. Second, to offer a selection of truly unique colours.

DANIEL SMITH Watercolours are formulated to meet and exceed the highest industry standards for the manufacture of artist's paints, and every batch made is tested and analysed for its performance qualities.

DANIEL SMITH is truly the worldwide leader of watercolours for artists with 240+ beautiful colours in the 15ml watercolours, the most of any manufacturer.Many are traditional colours relied upon by all artists, and there are many "truly unique" colours made only by DANIEL SMITH that have become so important to watercolour artists.
