A European-style transparent watercolour, Holbein watercolour preserves the brush handling qualities inherent in traditional Japanese watercolour techniques. They are produced without ox-gall, animal by-products or other dispersing agents, which permits greater colour density and brush control.
The range has a consistent creamy texture, and the paints can be instantly rewetted and used like a pan colour - simply fill the wells of a suitable palette with the desired colour selection, allow it to dry, then wet the colour when needed.
Holbein offers a range of over 100 colours, available in 5ml and 15ml tubes, as well as a range of sets with either tubes or half pans.
