A European-style transparent watercolour, Holbein watercolour preserves the brush handling qualities inherent in traditional Japanese watercolour techniques. They are produced without ox gall, animal by-products or other dispersing agents, which permits greater colour density and brush control.

The range has a consistent creamy texture that remains smooth when dry without cracking, crumbling, chipping or moulding on the palette. Colours can be rewetted and used like a pan colour - simply fill the wells of a suitable palette with the desired colour selection, allow it to dry, and then wet the colour when needed.
