useful for some mixtures. For example, pairing it with Ultramarine
Blue to obtain Payne's Grey or Purple Iron Oxide or Venetian Red to
get brown Van Dyke.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.
