Daniel Smith Extra Fine™ Watercolor Half Pans bring the full quality of the Extra Fine range into a portable and flexible format. Each half pan contains approximately 1.8 ml of watercolor and is hand-poured in multiple stages to ensure maximum pigment strength, clarity and consistency.
These half pans retain everything Daniel Smith is known for: high pigment concentration, excellent mixing, natural granulation where applicable, and predictable color behavior. They are ideal for artists who want to build a custom watercolor palette, choosing only the colors that truly support their way of working.
Compact and practical, they are perfect for travel, plein air and urban sketching, while remaining fully capable for studio work. Performance is equal to tube watercolors — simply in a more versatile form.
