The Michael Harding Artists Watercolour Urban Anna Set of 10 features a selection of colours curated by the Dutch artist Astrid Wielinga, also known as Urban Anna, whose work is inspired by the beauty found on city streets.
Michael Harding Artists Watercolours have been meticulously developed to create highly saturated and vivid colours. Each pigment was painstakingly researched and formulated to perform to its maximum potential. Bound with fine quality gum arabic and honey, the range features over 130 colours, 92 of which are single pigment colours, ensuring clean colour mixing and strong contrast.
The spectrum offered is comprehensive, with a broad choice of historical and modern clarity colours. A wide selection of greens is included for plein air, and traditional cadmium colours for their robustness. Rarer colours such as Lapis Lazuli and Rose Madder have been carefully transposed from the celebrated Michael Harding oil paint range.
Michael Harding Watercolours have excellent rewetting properties, so dried paint can easily be reused, and favourite mixes can be created and stored in empty pans.
Twenty years in the making, these artist watercolours offer a rich and vibrant luminosity with the aim that every colour offers a distinct character to justify its inclusion in this exciting new collection.
