Description
The painting is of a blue sky with white clouds. The paint is of a high color strength, requiring a different approach than traditional oil or acrylic paints, which are usually more diluted. The paint is screen printed with the actual color of the paint, rather than the diluted version shown on the tube or cup.
The Old Holland Classic Watercolour range is extensive and
excellent quality, providing colours which are unique in their
colour strength with maximum pigmentation. This high colour
strength requires a different approach, meaning little paint is
needed from the tube or pan for the desired colour effect. These
paints are rich and beautiful with excellent colour lifting
abilities. It is well-known that Old Holland attaches a
hand-painted colour strip to its tubes of oil paint and acrylic
paint, showing the paint in the tube. A different solution was
chosen for the watercolours. The labels of the tubes and cups of
watercolour do not show the full tone of the paint, but the
undertone (a logical choice following on from the technique of
watercolour painting). The colours on the labels are screen printed
with the watercolour in this undertone, using a screen printing
technique developed specially for Old Holland.This is an 18ml tube
