Scott...
Once again, many thanks.
I have heard of both Daniel Smith and the quinacridone colors, but I have never used either. I read a watercolor book not too long ago written by an artist who was using the quinacridone colors, and her paintings were really breathtaking. I had attributed that more to the talent of the artist than to the paints, but my research suggests that the paints do make a big difference. Thanks for the suggestions... I will be adding some Daniel Smith colors, including some quinacridones, to my palette in the very near future. I hope that I enjoy the same success with them that you have.
