Daniel Smith Artists' Materials

Daniel Smith Artists' Materials

Daniel Smith Art Supply (sometimes advertised as Daniel Smith Artists' Materials) is an art supply manufacturer and retailer. Dan Smith, a noted printmaking artist, founded the operation in 1976, endeavoring to produce artist-grade printmaking ink. Later, watercolor paint, oil paint and acrylic paint lines were added to the proprietary selection.

Daniel Smith's paint manufacturing facility is located in Seattle, Washington, where it mills pigments and mixes the final paint product. The company characterizes its paints as "professional artist" grade.

One of the unique approaches to paint that the company focuses on is the use of pigments derived from semi-precious minerals and other unique geological deposits. Among their collection of so-called PrimaTek colors are paints derived from turquoise, lapis lazuli, rhodonite, kyanite and serpentine.

Daniel Smith Art Supply distributes their art supply catalog quarterly, which includes commissioned artwork and educations articles.
