I love these watercolor paints. I bought these because the price was right. I can't always buy high end art supplies. But when I saw this deal, I knew I couldn't find a better price. The colors are beautiful.

I've tested out the Daniel Smith Extra Fine Watercolors and absolutely love them! I do wish they were more affordable and wish you carried more of them in your store as well as more professional watercolor brushes.

tl;dr Great paint. Not my personal favorite primary triad, but it might be yours. Paint and ink both use the subtractive color model.As with every other DS watercolor, these are great paints. However, I do agree with the first reviewer; these are not primary. Or, at least, this is not the only primary triad out there. For really clear and vibrant oranges, purples, and greens, you actually *do* need something close to cyan, magenta, and yellow. No, watercolors are not ink, but they do both use the same color model--subtractive color. CMYK, as a color theory, also works with watercolors. I don't have a red on my palette, but I do have yellow and quin rose.That's not to say that these 3 colors won't give you various shades of orange, green, and purple. They will, ...

Personally, I like vibrant, translucent colors--this particular triad will not create that. If you find that you can't quite get the colors you want with this set, an alternative triad could be Quin Rose (PV19), a mid yellow (Hansa Yellow Medium, included in this set, is often used), and Phthalo Blue GS (PB15:3). And there are countless other options beyond that too.Research the pigments. Read about the palettes used by artists you like. Experiment with the paint yourself. Make color charts and do color studies. Find what works for you. There's room for multiple primary triad variations out there, we don't all have to agree on which one is "best," because "best" is dependent on too many variables to even begin to list here.

I love the Daniel Smith watercolors that I already have, so I thought I'd give this Secondary colors pack a try.These 3 colors do not disappoint. They are vibrant and colorful. I am so glad I made this purchase.
I recently purchased this pack of watercolors. The Daniel Smith colors are very intense. Loved using them. Such a wonderful addition.
I was so surprised to see they were very large tubes.
Daniel Smith is definitely a reliable brand and these colors are so luscious on cotton paper. Came for the Moonglow, stayed for the Organic Vermillion and Undersea Green! Great set!
MY FAVORITE. Great set with the Primary, makes anything you need for watercolor painting and the quality is professional.
The primary colors for paint/ink/etc are Cyan, Magenta, and Yellow, NOT red/yellow/blue. Look at your printer ink, it's CMY, not RYB. The definition of primary is that the color can not be mixed. Red is made by mixing Magenta with a touch of yellow, and Blue is made with Cyan and a touch of Magenta. This is color theory 101. If you buy this set expecting to be able to mix other colors, your results will be dull and muddy. D.S. should be ashamed calling this set "primary" colors.
