This world famous brand of artists quality watercolour paints has been produced in Russia by the St Petersburg Company since 1934. White Nights are extra fine watercolours, manufactured using the highest grade of the finest pigment particles plus gum arabic and even honey. Three quarters of the paints in this range are made from single pigments and the whole spectrum of colours are strong, easily mixable and lightfast. Previously known as 3K and Yarka water colours these watercolours have a soft consistency that enables the artist to easily lift the colour from the large pan. This is due to the fact they are truly liquid poured, semi moist whole pans.

Highly recommended for beginners with a preference for pans, they have been a favourite of the amateur and intermediate artists for many years due to their oustanding value for money.

They're vibrant, have strong pigmentation, and are great for mixing new and equally vibrant colors. They have a great consistency as well, and sink right into the paper. However, the paints have a really strong stain (they have already seemingly permanently stained the metal palette I use). Another point is that they re-activate very, very easily. When it comes to a palette, that's great! However, the problem with that is that they also re-activate on paper. Layering (and glazing) can be a problem when painting with them, as it is very likely to lift previous layers, showing the color of the paper underneath.
For the price, the colors are excellent and high quality, but may prove bothersome as layering and glazing a dry area (even if a few days dry) might re-activate and lift the colors. They are good for texture and blooming, but might cause troubles when trying to make washes. (Posted on 19/02/2020)

Got lucky when my art school teacher said this is the best watercolors you can get -- I have been using these colours for years now and they never failed me. Now restocking some new colours I have not had before. :) (Posted on 31/07/2019)

I really fell in love with the vibrancy of these paints, they're very nice quality, light fastness is good and the behavior of the pigments they use is really good. I love the affordability also, it's super good even for professional artist.
I live in hot and humid environment and because of the honey in the binder they stay a little wet all the time but it doesn't cause any problem in the performance.
