- Art Supplies from Daniel Smith Art Materials
In 1970, a young artist moved to Seattle and found himself in the company of a group of printmakers. After sharing many ideas about print and art, Daniel Smith took up a job at a small commercial printing company to support his passion for art, Dan took up a job as a commercial printer. It was here he learned that artist-printmakers were using commercial printing inks, which were neither light-fast nor complimentary to the slower methods of a print artist. Dan saw the opportunity to make a difference in the print-artist community and set forth to create a better ink.
Now that artists were seeking out Daniel Smith ink, it made sense to offer other products, such as fine paper, tools and printing plates. By the fourth year, the business had grown again to a point where Dan felt he could further his vision of making a difference for the artist, and he began manufacturing colored inks.
In 1983, Daniel Smith Inc moved its manufacturing and retail into a large Seattle facility. Today, you will find several Daniel Smith stores, an award winning catalog and, of course, Daniel Smith Online.
As an internationally recognized name in the art community, Daniel Smith has built its reputation on thinking like an artist, and not just thinking for the artist. It is this philosophy that keeps us innovative, customer focused and the source for art supplies for artists around the world.
Like the inks Dan first made some 30 years ago, Daniel Smith's watercolors, oil colors and acrylic paints are made of superior quality and often offer colors available nowhere else.
