“Experiencing different brands showed many possibilities, but what I found with DANIEL SMITH watercolors is that they suit my technique the best. My final stamp of approval is Payne’s Gray – I can’t continue my process without this amazing color! Sleeping Beauty Turquoise Genuine is another of my favorites. I have found while working with hundreds of students, that painting with DANIEL SMITH colors is one of our best experiences. The transparency, along with strong, lightfast pigments make the artworks more charming. I strongly recommend DANIEL SMITH as the best watercolor brand in the world!”
