Karen Sioson Palette by DANIEL SMITH
The Daniel Smith Company was the first to introduce the concept of dot cards. This allowed artists to test or try out the paints at the store or at home to find the colors that best suit their rendering needs prior to buying. Previously, the only way one can do color tests is to commit to buying whole tubes of paint or hope that friends have the color and would let us try them. The accessibility allowed artists to explore and discover new colors without breaking the bank.
It is a great honor for me to be among the artists included in the Daniel Smith Artists’ Palette feature. Thank you very much John Cogley and Katherine Taylor. I had the privilege of meeting them in Manila and was quite taken with the passion both share for developing the highest standards for watercolor production.
I also would like to take this opportunity to thank Dino and Ethel Pajao of DE’s Artroom for bringing this great line of product to the Philippines.
