Dan Smith started his business in 1976, dedicated to bringing the the highest quality inks to the print-artist community. In 1993, Dan set out to create a line of watercolors with one goal in minds: to bring the watercolor artist the very best product available. His dream cam to fruition with the introduction of a hugely innovative collection of 27 paints that just happened to change the world of watercolors forever. Our pigments may come from every continent except Antarctica but our paints are manufactured in Seattle, Washington.
