I love that DANIEL SMITH believes that the control should be in the hands of the artist. As a result, they use nothing in their paints to modify the way the paint would naturally behave. This apprOach, matched with consistent quality in every tube, assures me that whenever I mix my colours, I get consistent results every time. Combine that philosophy with a strong effort to support established artists and help develop new artists and you have a winner in my books. Oh, and did I mention that they have an unparalleled selection of colours to choose from? Over the years, these additional colours have provided me an opportunity to explore and develop my artistic voice.  —Ian de Hoog
