“I discovered DANIEL SMITH watercolors at their official launch event in Brazil in 2022. On that occasion, I witnessed the genuine commitment and dedication to producing these paints with the highest possible quality. It was inspiring to see the process of transforming raw materials into exceptional pigments. Since then, I have embraced DANIEL SMITH in my creative practice.

The purity and strength of the pigments, the natural granulation of many colors, and the intense color presentation immediately won me over. I use broad washes in the initial layers, where the blending of pigments plays a crucial role. DANIEL SMITH watercolors deeply enrich my results, supporting my ongoing exploration and artistic growth with the medium.”
