   DS watercolors and acrylics are fabulous and creamy. The colors remain brilliant after drying. Glazing with these colors makes painting a flat wash a breathtaking experience.

2. Deborah Burns said at September 22nd, 2009 at 2:28 pm

20. Sara Mathewson said at October 13th, 2009 at 12:39 pm

    DS watercolors are my absolute favorite! I have blogged about them too but right now my blog is inactive due to illness. My favorite red is Quinacridone coral absolultely love this warm red!! I’ve tried many different brands of watercolors, but now only buy DS. They stay nice on the palette, no cracking or flaking like some brands do. And the colors are amazing! I shop online and it is so easy to do with DS!

    Sara

21. Deborah Burns said at October 13th, 2009 at 12:54 pm

24. Michael Amadio said at October 13th, 2009 at 3:16 pm

29. Cat Jeffers said at October 19th, 2009 at 10:36 am

    I have taken class with Alfred Gay, a former employee of Daniel Smith’s. Alfred introduced me to the print making inks, which are delightful to work with. I have also experimented with the watercolors, which I feel are the finest around. Thanks!

30. Sharyn Sowell said at October 19th, 2009 at 2:17 pm

    I’ll be taking your art goodies with me to Spain, France and Italy for classes I’ll teach there next month. Hurrah!

31. frana biederman said at October 27th, 2009 at 9:53 am

    I just received a wonderful message about a painting I posted: Do you Dare to Dance?” subject flamenco young diva challenges the master.
    Painting was done with ink and Daniel Smith watercolors on primed canas.

    Made my day.

38. Joanna D said at November 3rd, 2009 at 5:25 am

    I’ve been using these watercolors for years and they are my #1 brand. I’m planning to try the new frisket bottle set–looks so useful with the set of nozzles. Thanks, guys.

39. Stella Susana Washburn said at November 5th, 2009 at 1:24 pm

    The Daniel Smith watercolors have a HUGE difference in my artwork. I especially like the Luminescent colors that you can’t get anywhere else!

40. Ann Stricklin Mathwig said at November 9th, 2009 at 2:34 pm

    I have been using Daniel Smith Paints for years! They are by far the best, and I have tried many. The colors are so wonderful, I want them all!

41. Benjamin Sandness said at November 9th, 2009 at 2:53 pm

    I do like DS, but I’d like DS even more if they gave me $50.

42. Cat Jeffers-Goodwine said at November 17th, 2009 at 2:54 pm

    I reallly like Daniel Smith’s watercolor collection, but I am also very fond of the printmaking inks.

    I have a photo on my FB account of a print I did with Daniel Smith’s purple printmaking ink.

44. Cassandra said at November 23rd, 2009 at 11:22 am

    I love the watercolors and am entering a piece I did using them in the MUBE context in San Paulo. I look forward to using more D.S. in the future.
