Blockx Artists Watercolours<\/h5>\n

Blockx Watercolours<\/a> are made using only lightfast pigments to insure stability because watercolour is a naturally fragile medium. The most intense and brilliant pigments, which always can be diluted but never improved. Rare, tough pigments are thoroughly crushed, then coated in gum arabic and honey. Available in 72 brilliant shades. Blockx do not produce paints that have any degree of instability or poor lightfastness. Therefore they do not use any stability classification.<\/p>\n

Blockx paints are made with the finest traditional ingredients but prepared with a modern formula for the needs of today\u2019s artists. Blockx paints are made with a binding agent that facilitates the working properties. They are slowly ground on stone tri-cylinders to simulate the manual process and accentuate the individual quality of each colour.<\/p>\n

These top-quality colours are available in 15ml tubes or Giant Pans. Giant pans are large watercolour pans that come in individual ceramic trays. Each one is a generous 3.5 by 2.5 inches, perfect for laying down washes or making large gestural work with big brushes.<\/p>\n

Artist’s Comments<\/h5>\n

‘I love the moistness of the paint, the clarity of hue (rich colour of the pigment), the beautiful granulation of colours such as cerulean blue, ultramarine blue, manganese violet, cobalt green, cobalt violet and so on that help provide texture for my landscape painting. I’m sure that is because of the stone ground method’
\n– S.Q, USA<\/p>\n

‘My reason for writing this is simply to say this, your Blockx pans are a pure pleasure to use. They give up their colour with ease and lend themselves to beautiful even washes. Please accept my thanks for producing such worthwhile paints and please keep up the good work’
\n– G.M, UK<\/p>\n

The Blockx Company<\/h5>\n

Founded in 1865 by Jacques Blockx I, the company is well-known worldwide and appreciated by famous artists’ for its extra-fine oils colours. Today, Blockx perpetuates the tradition and offers the best quality products to artists : Oils Colours, Watercolours, Pastels, Pigments, and Auxiliaries.<\/p>\n

Already in 1865, his painter friends were desperate to find the good colours of the past. They were no longer making colours themselves in their workshops and, at that time, paints were starting to be offered by a new industry. It was for these painters that Jacques Blockx, a wealthy chemist, went to work.<\/p>\n
