Dedicated to excellence, Holbein offers a 108-colour range of moist transparent watercolour of unsurpassed purity, permanence and brilliance in half pans, 5ml and 15ml tubes.

A European style transparent watercolour, Holbein watercolour also preserves the brush handling qualities inherent in traditional Japanese watercolour techniques. Without ox-gall or other dispersing agents, Holbein watercolour moves slowly permitting greater colour density and brush control.

It is a colour line with a consistent creamy texture that remains smooth when dry without cracking, crumbling, chipping or moulding in the palette. It may be re-wetted easily like a pan colour when in tube form. Simply fill the wells of a suitable palette with the desired colour selection, permit to dry, then wet the colour when needed.

This is a hand painted colour chart which will provide an exact guide to the shade and lustre of each colour in the range.
