Holbein: Fine Art Materials with a Japanese Heritage
Holbein is a renowned Japanese brand known for producing high quality fine art materials, combining traditional craftsmanship with modern innovation.
Established in the early 20th century in Osaka, Japan, Holbein has gained international recognition for its watercolours, oils, and other artist quality art supplies.
Originally introduced in the early 1920s, Holbein Artists’ Watercolour are popular for their vibrant, highly pigmented formula. This ensures bright, consistent colours with smooth application. Unlike many other watercolours, Holbein’s formula is free from ox gall or dispersing agents, providing the artist with greater control over their brushstrokes. This unique feature makes them ideal for precision work and washes alike.
In addition to watercolours, Holbein are known for their Artists’ Oil Colour, which has a rich, buttery texture. Each colour has exceptional blending properties and uses only top quality pigments. Holbein also produces a wide range of materials including coloured pencils, acrylics, oil pastels and more. Each medium is designed to meet the demands of both traditional and contemporary artists.
With a focus on quality and performance, Holbein continues to be a trusted name for artists who seek fine art materials that deliver reliable results across various mediums.
