“The beautiful classic book, The Secret Garden, fascinated me as a child, reading about the magic of discovering the key to the lost garden and its exquisite secrets. This spirit of discovering new beauty has stayed with me, especially through painting. I love DANIEL SMITH Watercolors for their stunning color range, unique gorgeous shades and the fabulous dispersement on damp paper. The beautifully unique granulating effects are unmatched and I especially love the exciting qualities of their delightfully named multi-pigment shades that do the most unexpected things! I believe the true value of art can only be recognized in its power to engage you on a deeper level. DANIEL SMITH paint has been that key to unlock a joyful journey of discoveries in watercolor for me.”
