Holbein Artists' Luminous Watercolours are a selection of fluorescent colours that expand the possibilities of your palette. Their high brightness and saturation bring a unique intensity to these vibrant watercolours. As with all fluorescent colours, please note that they have a low lightfast rating and finished works should not be displayed in direct sunlight.
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 in 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.
