Holbein Artists' Granulating Watercolours are made with at least two different pigments that gently granulate and create beautiful textures and colour-blend effects. These effects can be controlled by the amount of water added as well as the type of painting surface, with rough papers accentuating the granulation.
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.
These premium watercolours have a consistent creamy texture, and the paints can be instantly rewetted and used like a pan colour - simply fill the wells of a suitable palette with the desired colour selection, allow it to dry, then wet the colour when needed.
