FLAX Art + Design Store, a Fort Mason Center for Arts & Culture resident organization, presents an online seminar on Daniel Smith, Inc. artists’ materials.

Seminar speaker Scott Stevenson is the Sales Representative and Brand Ambassador for Daniel Smith, makers of FLAX’s bestselling watercolor paints. Have questions about Quinacridone pigments? Wonder where the color Serpentine comes from? How did the color Moonglow get its name? How are pigments tested for lightfastness? What’s granulation? This is a great opportunity to ask questions in a conversational and relaxed atmosphere.

The presentation starts off with the history of Daniel Smith and the many aspects of developing their products. See firsthand lab paint outs, minerals used to manufacture colors in the PrimaTek line, and more. The event also looks at a selection of colors straight from tube to highlight the Daniel Smith difference.

Discover more about the minerals used to create the brilliant Daniel Smith pigments, such as serpentine, sodalite, and geothite. Learn how Daniel Smith staff test for light fastness and develop paints with special effects, such as luminescence, transparency, and superior mixing and blending capabilities.
