Description

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.
