The colors are very good and filled with pigment enough for the professional artist.

Just the right minimum colors for mixing an array of bright and beautiful colors. Recommended by my watercolor instructor

Great quality

Very Nice set of watercolor paints although small tubes.

Wonderful watercolor paints my paintings have improved dramatically since I switch from lower quality to mostly Daniel smith paints My favorite brand of paints now

Daniel Smith - great paint...what else can I say. Its artist grade paint, some colors better than others.

Love love love these Daniel Smith paints. The colors are vibrant. I am however practicing my watercolor techniques using cheaper watercolors to begin with and it won’t be long before I use my new Daniel Smith watercolors. I will probably post another review once I have used them a little more. The tubes of paint are small but they pack a powerful punch when using them.

These are wonderful watercolor paints. So vibrant. You can see the difference between these quality pigments and the lower quality ones.

I absolutely love these! I really enjoy painting with granulating colors to create some great texture in my work, and these just hit the mark. Rhodonite makes an interesting mixer and adds texture to every color you mix it with. On its own, its like a slightly muted quinacridone rose. My one complaint is that if you work it too much on the paper, the paper appears to pill. Almost like the paper was made rough while the paint was going down. I mix a lot on the page, so for this color I just switch to mixing on a palette. Piemontite has a beautiful red wash with gray granulation. Its one of my favorite red mixers to add that black texture in the tooth of the paper. In terms of dispersion, it flies across the paper. Amethyst has a little of that black granulation, but this color has the most beautiful glittery sheen in the light. Mayan Blue is the most beautiful gray toned blue. It has quite a bit of granulation on the page, but there isnt much separation of color. Jadeite is my go-to green. The tint is a mossy tone and the granulation is a darker brown color. The mass tone is very dark and concentrated. Hematite is just interesting to look at. It lifts right off the paper when needed, and it granulates very heavily. It makes a great mixture if you want to force that granulating property with a non granulating color. If youre looking for some interesting and playful colors, I highly recommend this set.
