The roots of Sennelier Watercolors are to be found in the Impressionist school. At that time, painters drew their inspiration from nature and set out to reproduce natural light.
Sennelier worked with many different artists to produce L'Aquarelle Sennelier. They consulted watercolorists from all over the world. A panel of professional painters carried out blind tests on a number of formulations. They clearly revealed what they were looking for – a watercolor that is luminous, brilliant, and intense.
Honey is used in Sennelier L'Aquarelle not only as a preservative but as an additive that enhances brilliance and smoothness. Always striving for excellence, Sennelier has reworked its watercolor formula by increasing the amount of honey to reinforce the longevity, radiance, and luminosity of the colors.
L'Aquarelle Sennelier has been produced in the same way for more than a century, using the finest pigments and top-quality Kordofan gum arabic as a bonding agent. This blend of natural ingredients creates colors with a smooth, bright texture and vibrant shades. The gum arabic and honey combination ensures an exceptional quality of application, producing superb washes.
