Description
This is a description of the Holbein watercolour line. It is a transparent watercolour line that is moderately durable and has a consistent creamy texture. It is also smooth when dry and does not crack, crumble, or mold in the palette. It is re-wetted easily, which is why it does not produce watercolours in pan form. Holbein watercolours produce brilliant transparent washes as well as powerful clean darks when used in more concentrated applications.
Permanency: Moderately Durable Colour
A European style transparent watercolour, Holbein watercolour also preserves the brush handling qualities inherent in traditional Japanese watercolour techniques. Without ox-gall or other dispersing agents, Holbein watercolour moves slowly, thus permitting greater colour density and brush control. It is a colour line with a consistent creamy texture that remains smooth when dry without cracking, crumbling, chipping or molding in the palette. It may be re-wetted easily like a pan colour. For this reason Holbein does not produce watercolours in pan form but allows artists to create their own selection.
Fill the wells of a suitable palette with the desired colour selection. Permit to dry, then wet the colour when needed. Holbein watercolours produce brilliant transparent washes as well as powerful clean darks when used in more concentrated applications. Engineered to surpass the quality standards set by both North American and European manufacturers, Holbein watercolour is widely preferred around the world for it's handling qualities. Holbein watercolour ranks as the world’s finest.
