Michael Harding Professional Watercolour sets are a great way of exploring this new range from the renowned paintmaker.

Michael Harding Professional 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 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 are 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.

Last year Schmincke launched a range of supergranulating watercolour paints in their professional Horadam range. The distinctive feature of this range is that the paints are based on pigments that have a natural tendency to granulate. By combining two or more pigments in one paint, they complement and enhance the colour in combinations and create an incredible texture on the surface of the paper.

This line has been such a success that the range of the colours is expanded.  Like the previous series, it also includes five colours: they are pink, blue, indigo, brown and black. All paints have excellent lightfastness, and are transparent or semi-transparent.

Continuing the tradition of the name of the range, which reflects motifs in this range of colours, the Haze range is about complex and unique shades of grey-brown: these are the colours best used for painting misty mountains, obscure clouds, dimly visible, hidden behind a haze.

Contents:

5 x 15ml Schmincke Horadam - Pink (PR233, PB36 - Transparent), Blue (PY43, PB29, PBr7 - Transparent), Indigo (PB29, PG26, PBr33 - Semi-transparent), Brown (PBr7, PBk11 - Semi-transparent), and Black (PG36, PBr33, PBk11 - Semi-opaque).

This set is part of the Schmincke Horadam Retro Watercolour Collection. The range features a selection of special edition sets inspired by the original packaging design and colour selections from a 1912 catalogue discovered in the Schmincke archives. The Horadam Watercolour Paint Retro Set of 18 Half Pans & 5ml Cochineal Red comes in a smart wooden box, printed with the 1912 owl logo design and packaged in a beautiful art nouveau-style cardboard sleeve using the graphics and typeface from the period. The individual wrapping on each half pan also steps back in time. A highlight of this set is the inclusion of Cochineal Red which has been specially reissued and offers all the characteristics of the original.

They use an optimal amount of ox gall to avoid undesired coloured formations and undissolved pigment, allowing the perfect flow of colour.

Faber-Castell has brought together all of the advantages of drawing in Indian ink in a modern and uncomplicated disposable pen - the PITT artist pen. The high-quality brush point works both straight and bent without breaking. While the light colours are transparent and, thus, well-suited to varnishing techniques, the dark colours have good covering qualities. PITT artist pens have unsurpassed light-fastness and the individual colours are marked with an asterisk-based code.

Water-resistant and permanent, the pigmented drawing ink has a high light resistance meaning it will not fade quickly. The PITT pens are odour-free, acid-free and pH neutral.

This is a set of 50 Holbein Artists' Coloured Pencils which come contained in a durable cardboard box.Holbein Artists' Pencils are a range of soft and vivid artists' coloured pencils from leading art material manufacturer Holbein.Each pencil has an extremely soft and buttery feel with vibrant colour. Holbein use high-grade pigments which exhibit little fading or discolouration by light. The mixture of oils, waxes and premium pigments results in a very thick layer of colour that is vivid and permanent.

Holbein Artists' Pencils have a comfortable 7.8 mm round barrel with a thick 3.8 mm core, giving artists the ability to lay down a lot of colour at once. The pencils are pre-sharpened and require use with a good quality sharpener because of their softness. This softness and richness of colour make these very good for colourful works or for enhancing aspects of a drawing that you want to stand out.

Holbein Pigment Paste contains finely ground pigments suspended in a base of water, wetting agent, and dispersing agent. These intense colours have been developed as a base colourant with which to produce your own paint.

There are no binders, fillers, or other chemicals added. They can be used as they are for block printing and monoprinting, and can be combined with a watersoluble binder such as gum arabic or acrylic emulsion to produce paint. Mix with a few drops of water until the desired tint is achieved.

When not in use, keep the container tightly closed, and clean brushes and tools in warm water immediately after use.

Please note: Holbein Pigment Paste does not contain any binder on its own and is not suitable as an actual paint unless a watersoluble binder or adhesive agent is added. It is recommended to test a small amount first to ensure compatibility.
