Extra Fine Watercolor Half Pans, Classic Set of 12

Classic Set of 12 Half Pans:

Daniel Smith Extra Fine Watercolor Half Pans offer the same top-quality color as Daniel Smith tubes, only in a travel-friendly, dry format. These solid pans contain the same pigments and medium as the tubes—in fact, they're made by hand-pouring liquid watercolor into pans. The only difference is that the water is removed through evaporation.

This set of 12 colors includes the most popular Daniel Smith colors in a metal travel box, plus 12 empty half pans. You can fill the empty pans with tube colors of your choice from any watercolor brand. Or, replace the empty pans with individually packaged half pans. It's a highly customizable set that works well with your existing collection.

The colors included in this box are Buff Titanium, Hansa Yellow Light, Hansa Yellow Medium, Hansa Yellow Deep, Pyrrol Scarlet, Quinacridone Rose, Cerulean Blue Chromium, Ultramarine Blue, Sap Green, Yellow Ochre, Burnt Sienna, and Raw Umber.

Made in the United States.

About Daniel Smith Extra Fine Watercolor:

Daniel Smith Extra Fine Watercolor is not just the premier brand of American watercolor—it is the widest, most experimental range of watercolors in the world, with 266 colors and a never-ending flow of new ideas. Still based in Seattle after 50 years, Daniel Smith also remains at the forefront of art materials innovation. The Pacific Northwest's premier color house popularized quinacridones for artist use, created the first commercial versions of key colors on the contemporary palette, and pioneered new mineral colors by creating the pigments from scratch, literally grinding down the stones and binding them in an easy-to-use traditional watercolor.

Compared with the other brands of professional watercolor on the market, Daniel Smith stands out for its dense pigmentation, matte finish, and strongly adhesive binder. Taken together, these three qualities make Extra Fine Watercolors the unparalleled leader in sheer amount of pigment attached to the page. Even without layering, and even on wet paper, it's easy to build up a completely saturated masstone of most colors.

Each Daniel Smith Extra Fine Watercolor is individually rated for lightfastness, granulation, staining, and opacity. Most colors carry the highest lightfastness rating, meaning colors won't fade for hundreds of years.
