Daniel Smith Luminescent Watercolours

Daniel Smith Luminescent Watercolours are professional-quality, iridescent watercolour paints designed to create shimmering, light-catching effects that standard pigments simply can¡¯t achieve. Part of the Daniel Smith watercolour range, these luminescent colours feature optical effects such as sparkle, sheen and colour shift – inspired by natural surfaces like birds¡¯ feathers, insects, fish scales, flowers, metals and reflective water.
Formulated to the same exacting standards as Daniel Smith¡¯s core watercolours, each luminescent paint is thoroughly tested for lightfastness, pigment strength, clarity and consistency. The finely milled pigments disperse smoothly, allowing the luminous particles to sit beautifully on the surface of the paper, where they catch the light and add depth, movement and atmosphere to a painting.
These colours are ideal for artists who want to enhance watercolour work with subtle shimmer or bold reflective highlights. They work particularly well for accents, glazing, abstract effects, celestial subjects, botanicals and mixed media, and can be layered over or mixed with standard watercolours to expand your creative options.
Available in a full range of 49 colours in 15ml tubes, with 6 of the most popular shades also available in 5ml.
?? Colour appearance can vary significantly depending on the paper colour. Swatches are shown on both white and black paper for reference.
