There’s something magical about watercolor that plays with light.

Tranh màu nước phát quang của Daniel Smith bring shimmer, sparkle, iridescence and color-shifting effects to your palette, creating results that traditional watercolors simply cannot replicate.

Inspired by the luminous beauty found in nature, from the flash of a hummingbird’s feathers to the shimmer of water, fish scales and metallic reflections, these specialty colors invite artists to explore watercolor in a whole new way.

DANIEL SMITH Luminescent Watercolors are designed to create optical effects often seen in nature. These colors can add a subtle glow, brilliant shimmer or dramatic color shift that changes depending on the angle of light and the surface beneath it.

The Luminescent line includes FOUR unique effect categories:

Soft, shimmering colors with a luminous sheen that adds elegance and dimension. Perfect for final touches or for mixing with any watercolor to add sparkle!

Radiant metallic-style colors that reflect and shimmer beautifully in the light.

Transparent colors that shift dramatically over dark surfaces, revealing flashes of unexpected color.

Captivating colors that appear to transform from one hue to another as the light moves across the painting.

Luminescent Watercolors can be used on their own for bold effects or layered with traditional watercolor colors to create subtle highlights and glowing details. Add sparkle to flower petals, shimmer to water, glowing skies, metallic reflections or imaginative fantasy elements.

Whether you prefer delicate luminous accents or dramatic sparkling effects, these specialty colors encourage experimentation, play and creative discovery.

With DANIEL SMITH Luminescent Watercolors, your paintings don’t just capture color, they capture light.
