Daniel Smith Extra Fine Watercolours are professional artist paints supplied in convenient 5ml tubes. Available in a wide choice of vibrant colours, they offer excellent colour strength, consistency and mixing performance for watercolour painting and illustration.
Daniel Smith Extra Fine Watercolours are professional-quality artist paints developed for rich colour, reliable performance and a broad range of painting techniques. The convenient 5ml tubes are ideal for trying new colours, expanding an existing palette or replacing frequently used shades without committing to a larger tube.
The range includes a wide selection of traditional and distinctive colours, with paints designed to deliver strong colour, clarity and consistency. Individual shades vary in characteristics such as transparency, staining, granulation and lightfastness, allowing artists to choose colours that suit their preferred style and technique.
Daniel Smith carefully evaluates its watercolours for qualities including lightfastness, colour value, tinting strength, clarity, vibrancy, undertone, particle size, density and viscosity. This helps provide dependable performance across the range for artists working with washes, glazing, colour mixing and detailed brushwork.
The 5ml range currently includes 117 colours drawn from Daniel Smith's Extra Fine, PrimaTek and Luminescent watercolour collections.
The smaller 5ml tube size is particularly useful for experimenting with unfamiliar colours or adding specialist shades to an existing set. Colours can be used individually or mixed together to create a much wider variety of hues, tones and effects.
