The Colourful Journey of Daniel Smith

Opus Resource Library

In this video, owner and CEO of Daniel Smith Artists' Materials John Cogley, talks about the history and organic growth of Daniel Smith.

John also talks about the process behind the colours, clearly demonstrating his passion for colour.

Each colour is made of pigments, and each pigment comes from a different part of our world. This matches up poetically to how artists' paint what they see. Depending on where an artist is from, they may use more of a specific colour than an artist in another part of the world would!

We hope you enjoy this insight into the world of Daniel Smith Watercolors. We know that John's love for colour is infectious!
