Daniel Smith Extra Fine Watercolor Pan Set - 24 Colors

Daniel Smith Extra Fine Watercolor Pan Set - 24 Colors

The Daniel Smith Extra Fine Watercolor Pan Set includes an amazing array of 24 hand-poured colors. Daniel Smith Extra Fine Watercolors are made with the finest pigments and include the highest pigment load. This leads to very consistent color and makes the paint exceptionally lightfast (which means the colors won't fade!). The pans are both removable and refillable. This set is portable and easy to use, and includes expanded (cool, warm and special) primary colors, gorgeous secondary greens, core earth colors plus a neutral gray that allow endless color combinations ready for painting anything, anywhere!

Daniel Smith uses the same formula for these hand poured pan colors as they use for the tube watercolor paints. These pans re-wet quickly and easily - simply touch the color with a damp brush and begin painting.

Opening the metal box reveals four large paint mixing wells in the lid, while the fold-out section has eight smaller wells. The middle half pan holder section is removable and beneath it are seven more mixing wells for a total of 19. The inside of the metal box is white enamel for easy clean-up with a soft cloth or paper towel. There is space between the two rows of half pans to keep a small brush (brush not included). For convenient painting, there is a finger ring underneath that allows for securing the metal box to the palm of your hand while painting! Included with this set is a waterproof acetate map of the colors, their properties, and their location in the box.

As a bonus, the set includes an extra black metal box (with the Daniel Smith logo) with 24 empty pans ready for filling with your favorite watercolors and build an additional, customized palette.

Colors included:

Buff Titanium
Hansa Yellow Light
Quinacridone Gold
