unique colors made with authentic mineral pigments
NEW DANIEL SMITH Zoisite Genuine P
A mineral from Austria discovered in 1804 that displays a
dark, almost black, bottle green granulating surface. With
minimal paint to water, the effect is a gray-green micro-dotted
surface. With more water, it fractures with lush greens into
three-dimensional effects.
NEW DANIEL SMITH Imperial Purple
Unlock a wealth of color with this princely pigment. Rich in
texture, this highly saturated purple will granulate to reveal
shades of plum and ultramarine. From the deepest purple,
this semi-transparent and low-staining pigment continues to
deliver as it is applied in ever more delicate washes to the pal-
est lavender. Give a stand of garden Irises the royal treatment,
or kiss the sunset with the softest touch. This regal pigment is
palette royalty.
NEW DANIEL SMITH Permanent Alizarin Crim-
son is an exceptionally lightfast red with true Alizarin
Crimson character and versatility. Our formulation has the
characteristics to match traditional Alizarin Crimson--
it is vibrant, non-granulating, medium staining and very
transparent...with the undeniable advantage of permanence.
NEW DANIEL SMITH Kyanite Genuine P
A rich blue-gray with impressive granulation and dazzling,
glittery sparkle. Its name comes from the Greek word
kyanos, meaning dark blue enamel. Thought to promote
serenity, concentration and mental clarity, this shiny, translu-
cent gemstone is used for jewelry and ceramics and now for
a watercolor that will add amazing texture and visual
excitement to your work.
NEW DANIEL SMITH Lunar Blue
The fabric of the night sky glides off the brush
in this heavenly new shade. Granulating black
floats above deep blue undertone--inky as
midnight, or diffused as the moon on water.
Semi-transparent Lunar Blue lifts beautifully, leaving
behind a shadow of itself.
NEW DANIEL SMITH Fuchsite Genuine P
Soft, subtle, with a pearly green shimmer. Made from pure
Fuchsite, a Russian mineral with mica-like characteristics,
this transparent mineral color is great for layering and add-
ing luster to your paintings.
NEW DANIEL SMITH Verditer Blue
A true blue, this pigment has a place on every palette.
Begin with a dark application--a deep azure lake--then
watch how this slightly granulating paint travels quickly in
water, fades to the color of corn owers and creates sur-
prising effects. Enjoy every nuance of this wonderful new
semi-transparent watercolor.
NEW DANIEL SMITH Lunar Violet
This fascinating, semi-transparent paint creates a deep,
rich black and washes to a soft violet twilight sky. With
extreme granulation, it s capable of creating a rugged
weathered look or the delicacy of a lavender ower.
NEW DANIEL SMITH Cadmium Yellow Hue
A rich, bright and intense alternative to Cadmium Yellow.
Using a blend of pigments, our chemist has duplicated the
brilliance and opacity of Cadmium Yellow with unsurpassed
opacity, color strength, durability and lightfastness. It dis-
perses beautifully in water for smooth, rich washes.
