Description
This watercolour is made with an anthraquinone pigment, which is a type of pigment that is known for its high color strength. The pigment is also lightfast, meaning that it will not fade over time.
One of the unique characteristics of these watercolours is the unparalleled colour strength (maximum pigmentation). And while this high colour strength requires a slightly different approach on the part of the aquarellist (so little paint is needed from the tube or cup for the desired colour effect that you have to get used to the ratio of paint to diluent), the advantages are clear.
