- DANIEL SMITH Enviro-Friendly Watercolors-the colors aren’t green, but the process is!
- To make these paints, we use pigments from the earth’s crust, obtained through a process known as Iron Oxide Recovery (IOR).
- This method removes colored iron oxides that pollute mine water, cleaning the water so it can re-enter a receiving stream-and resulting in a cleaner natural environment.
- The recovered iron oxide is thoroughly washed, then used to create a trio of rich colors ranging in tone from a warm golden yellow to a deep red earth to a beautiful saturated dark brown with a bluish undertone.
