Description
This is a description of a watercolor paint called Holbein. It is a transparent watercolor that is made in Europe and is considered to be of the highest quality. It is permanent and does not require any dispersing agents, which makes it slow to move and allows for greater control over the color. It is a creamy color line that remains smooth when dry and does not crack, crumble, or mold in the palette. It can be re-wetted easily, which is why it is not available in pan form. Holbein watercolors produce brilliant transparent washes as well as powerful clean darks when used in more concentrated applications.
Permanency: Absolutely Permanent 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.
