Following in the DANIEL SMITH tradition of manufacturing the finest handcrafted paints and products, our pans are HAND POURED. Hand Pouring pans is incredibly labor intensive but offers the purest form of professional watercolour half pans. DANIEL SMITH uses the exact same formula for both tubes and hand poured pan colours! Rewets quickly and easily! A major benefit of painting with DANIEL SMITH pans is there is NO need to spray the colour with water before use, simply touch the colour with a damp brush and begin painting.
