MaimeriBlu features an absolute purity of pigments that, together with gum arabic, compose the totality of the mixture. Imperceptible, transparent, clean. No blending powders, and no additives. Nothing harmonises or synchronises the shift between the various shades. The real value lies in the transparency of its colours and in the freshness of its washes. It is the whiteness of the paper that illuminates this type of painting. The light is behind the colour. 

A white, lightweight paste that spreads like icing sugar, QoR Light Dimensional Ground can be applied smoothly and thinly, or can be built up to create ridges, peaks and other interesting textures. This absorbent ground is ideal for producing lustrous modelled surfaces. The extremely absorbent surface of Light Dimensional Ground allows washes to spread quickly, while accommodating fine lines and detail as well. Dropping colour into lightly wetted areas creates beautiful blooms. Application - Apply with brush, knife or trowel as desired, and allow to fully dry. This product is non-levelling and will retain the tool marks in the dried surface. Use a wet application tool to create a more even layer. Thicker applications may take several days before they are ready to be painted. youtube=rGXIw61UgyA

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

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.

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.
