Turner's concentrated Artists' Watercolours combine the finest pure pigments with gum arabic to achieve the highest of lightfast ratings and superb transparency and flow. The pigments are painstakingly ground to a uniform fineness and are blended without any fillers.Colour: 401 Series: C Pigment: Titanium mica Transparency: Semi-transparent Lightfastness: Excellent

L'Aquarelle Sennelier has been produced in the same way for more than a century using the best pigments and top quality Kordofan Gum Arabic as a bonding agent.This mix of natural ingredients produces colours which have a smooth, bright texture and offer lively, colourful shades. The Gum Arabic and honey combination offers incomparable quality of application, producing superb washes. Then, this base is mixed with pigments and carefully ground. Sennelier makes sure to wet the pigments in purified water (with no mineral salts) for 24 hours before mixing them in with the bonding agent. This improves the way in which the colours and bonding merge together, in turn bringing out the full beauty of the colours.

Sennelier watercolours are ground in the traditional way using grindstones rotating slowly so as not to heat up the paste. This operation is carried out in several stages until the paste are as fine as possible thus getting rid of any particles which might impair the perfection of the wash.

This exceptional and very high quality watercolour will help you make your works even more powerful due to the liveliness and purity of the hues. The colours mix together perfectly, offering superbly subtle shades. These smooth, intense colours will be a genuine pleasure to paint with. The addition of honey will allow the tubes and pans of Sennelier watercolours to stand up to the passing of time and each time you will paint with them you will be able to accurately translate the diversity of light, shape and hues.

QoR Watercolour Ground quickly transforms almost any surface into an absorbent, bright white painting surface similar to hot-pressed paper. Use as Ground – Allows for watercolour techniques on virtually any paintable substrate. The smooth surface remains flexible with a soft feel. Use to create custom watercolour panels or canvases. After the last layer has been applied, allow 24 hours or longer to fully dry before applying paint washes. Use as a Correcting Fluid - One of the unique uses of this product is to recover the whiteness of an area of watercolour paper that has been stained with colour. Lift as much colour as possible without damaging by wetting and immediately blotting the paper and allow to fully dry. Next apply thin layers of Watercolour Ground, carefully feathering out edges. Build up two or more coats until the underlying stain is covered. The absorbent nature will allow for continued watercolour paint application. Application - Apply two or more coats of Watercolour Ground to paper, panel, canvas or other desired surface. Allow sufficient time (usually 24 hours or more) for the layers to fully dry before applying watercolour washes. Up to 20% water (5:1 ground to water ratio) may be added to improve levelling. Watercolour Ground may be sanded for a smoother surface, with wet sanding providing the best results. Avoid coarser grits as they can leave scratches that will become highlighted when washes are applied to the surface. youtube=zdMf8dX9A2g

Permanency: Absolutely Permanent Colour

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, thus 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 molding in the palette. It may be re-wetted easily like a pan colour. For this reason Holbein does not produce watercolours in pan form but allows artists to create their own selection.

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 it's handling qualities. Holbein watercolour ranks as the world’s finest.

Graphite Gray (PBk10) is an opaque grey that can be handled as a wet wash or as a dry textured brush stroke. This product can be used to paint weathered wood, fence posts and old buildings.

One of the unique characteristics of these watercolours is the unparalleled colour strength (maximum pigmentation). And while this high colour strength requires a slightly different approach on the part of the aquarellist (so little paint is needed from the tube or cup for the desired colour effect that you have to get used to the ratio of paint to diluent), the advantages are clear. Tinting Zinc vs. Transparent Chinese White.The two colours are made from the same pigment however the Tinting Zinc has a higher concentration. This means that when mixing with other colours the Tinting Zinc will make the mix semi-opaque. Transparent Chinese White has a lower concentration, which means that colour mixes maintain their transparency.
