If you love the magic of color, you will love painting with our DANIEL SMITH Extra Fine Watercolor Mineral Marvels Dot Card Set!  

These are truly special watercolor paints, they are made from minerals, some semi-precious gemstones, that we source from all over the world, process into pigments, then mill into watercolor paints!  Most have a gorgeous property called “granulation” which adds unique and exciting texture when painting that many artists call magical.

Great selection of colours, handy to use and a helpful way to sample colours prior to purchasing individual paints. Quick dispatch and very carefully packaged - thank you

by Margaret B.

I am about to make colour swatches of each of these and so I can't really appraise them as yet, However if they perform as well as the other pack I will be well pleased. I have a lot of rocks and crystals in my life and love the idea of painting with them.
