The Lascaux Sirius Primary System is based on five primaries instead of the usual three. These are: magenta, red, yellow, cyan and ultramarine plus black and white. The full range of colours can be mixed with ease and precision. Mixed in equal parts, the five primaries produce a neutral and vibrant black. Warm and cool tones can be defined logically since on either side a red and a blue can be differentiated.The Sirius Primary System can be used in professions where the perceptual and sensual quality of colour is essential: Fine Art and Design, Architectural and Interior Design, Colour Theory, Art Education Classes and Art Therapy.Specific advantages are listed below:* The System is easily used in practice, making it ideal for introductory courses, in schools and academies. A balanced colour wheel can be intermixed, creating the entire spectrum with only a few hues.* When adjusting the lightness and darkness of a hue, the colour s intensity and consistency remain intact. Within the system, a wide range of subtle, vibrant and neutral greys can be mixed.

Dedicated to excellence, Holbein offers a 108-colour range of moist transparent watercolour of unsurpassed purity, permanence and brilliance in half pans, 5ml and 15ml tubes.

A European style transparent watercolour, Holbein watercolour also preserves the brush handling qualities inherent in traditional Japanese watercolour techniques. Without ox-gall or other dispersing agents, Holbein watercolour moves slowly permitting greater colour density and brush control.

It is a colour line with a consistent creamy texture that remains smooth when dry without cracking, crumbling, chipping or moulding in the palette. It may be re-wetted easily like a pan colour when in tube form. Simply fill the wells of a suitable palette with the desired colour selection, permit to dry, then wet the colour when needed.

Holbein watercolours produce brilliant transparent washes as well as powerful clean darks when used in more concentrated applications. Engineered to surpass the quality standards set by both North American and European manufacturers, Holbein watercolour is widely preferred around the world for its handling qualities. Holbein watercolour ranks as the world’s finest

Art Spectrum Artists’ Watercolors are produced in Australia from a mixture of high quality pigments and Gum Arabic. Unlike many artist-quality watercolors, which are milled using metal milling machines, Art Spectrum Artist’ Watercolors are carefully stone milled to grind each pigment to an optimal fineness. Fugitive pigments such as Alizarin Crimson have been replaced with lightfast alternatives such as Permanent Crimson to produce a highly permanent selection of watercolors.
