with the Chartreuse Yellow because it forms delicate autumnal
tones. Its nuance is reminiscent of old Alizarin Crimson but
without the lack of stability.Isaro Watercolour Paints are
handcrafted in Belgium by Isabel Roelofs, who comes from two
generations of paintmakers and is a descendant of well-known
Belgian artist, Willem Roelofs. Isaro watercolours have been
carefully crafted so that they have maximum transparency, providing
luminosity and excellent layering capabilities. Handmade in an
atelier in Belgium, Isaro use only high-quality gum arabic and
pigments in their watercolours. Gum arabic varies in colour from
very pale yellow to dark brown, and the gum darkens on contact with
the tannin in acacia bark. Isaro have selected the best acacia gum
that when dissolved in water gives a clear solution. This maintains
the purity and luminosity of the pigments. Glycerine and honey are
also used in very precise amounts to enable the paint to remain
supple. Isaro use a single-flower honey, the honey of acacia, so
that the honey is also very clear. The range of 60 colours is
available in 7ml tubes.
