Description
This is a description of Quinacridone Scarlet, a watercolor pigment made by Holbein. It is a transparent pigment with excellent lightfastness and transparency, and it does not granulate. It is also hard, which preserves the brush handling qualities inherent in traditional Japanese watercolor techniques. The range has a consistent creamy texture that remains smooth when dry.

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 that
remains smooth when dry without cracking, crumbling, chipping or
moulding in the palette. Colours can be 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 108-colour range, available in 5ml and 15ml
tubes.
