Daniel Smith Luminescent Watercolors

Daniel Smith Luminescent Watercolors are specialty colors with optical effects, found in nature, that regular colors cannot replicate. These colors have an iridescent sheen, shimmer, sparkle, or color shift often seen in birds’ feathers, insects, fish, flowers, metals, and water. The luminous quality of these special watercolors give artists a wider range of color options.

Iridescent colors reflect light directly, like a mirror reflection, resulting in intense color and sheen.

Interference colors refract and scatter light; they take on different hues depending on where the light is striking and the viewer's point of view.

Duochrome colors bounce between two different colors depending on the reflective light.

Pearlescent colors add an opalescent sheen.

Available in 15 ml tubes.
