Zu Daniel Smith Aquarellfarbe kam ich eher zufällig. Ich suchte eine ganz bestimmte Farbe. Die Begeisterung allerdings war enorm nach dem ersten Arbeiten mit dieser Farbe. Schnell fiel die Entscheidung für dieses Set. Die Farben sind mein absoluter Favorit. Hochpigmentierte Farbe mit Leuchtkraft. Sie verblassen nicht nach dem Trocknen. Die Textur ist brilliant. Klare Kaufempfehlung trotz hohem Preis. Aber: Es lohnt sich, in gute Qualität zu investieren. Vielleicht schaut ihr euch einfach mein Bild an. Ich bin kein Profi, aber ich liebe es, unsere schöne Natur aus der nahen Umgebung zu Papier zu bringen.

I’ve been working with watercolor for a year now. I’ve used several different student grade brands of watercolor, most of which are fairly good in terms of color saturation and performance. Having tried a honey based pro brand and now Daniel Smith, I prefer the latter... and yes, pro vs student grade does make a difference with performance. Generally, the DS colors are far more concentrated than the student grade paints, making a tiny amount go a loooong way. Also, the paper (100% cotton) absolutely loves them! That being said, the primatek colors do behave A bit differently than the regular DS paints. They granulate naturally. It’s as if the mineral base sits on top of the paper allowing for streakiness, though that may be from not using enough water in my wash. The colors are subtle, except for the rhodonite, which is a pretty vibrant pink. For beautifully subtle, granulating color, I would definitely recommend these. They do dry quicker than the regular paints. It’s as if they absorb the water differently. I also purchased the essentials set. I swatched and mixed the two sets together (photo attached), which resulted in some beautiful colors. The tubes are small, but not as tiny as other reviewers led me to believe. One of the 5ml tubes will fill a full pan with paint left in the tube. The INTERIOR of the Meeden full pans I am using is 2.8mm L x 1.6 W x .08 H. N. When you break it down by cost, I paid less than $4 per full pan. That’s not bad for professional watercolors. The paints arrived on time and were hand delivered to me at my door. The boxes were taped closed and the tubes were full and unopened. All appropriate colors were in the boxes. I’m quite excited to do more painting with these paints!

Muy buenas. Se las regalé a mi madre que es pintora licenciada en Bellas Artes y sabe de lo que habla. Muy buenos tonos, buena textura y más cosas así técnicas que me dijo que no recuerdo porque no entiendo. Pero con estas acuarelas ya ha ganado un par de concursos de pintura así que van finas. Las recomiendo

Bons pinceis, certas macias, usar água e o pigmento. Custo benefício excelente.

Je n’aurais pas eu l’idée d’acheter de la jadéite, pourtant, elle est très belle. Les autres couleurs sont superbes aussi. En même temps, je n’ai encore jamais été déçue par cette marque. Et comme j’aime toutes les couleurs… je suis comblée !
