Isaro Watercolour Paints are handcrafted in Belgium by Isabel Roelofs, who comes from two generations of paintmakers and is a descendant of well-known Belgian artist, Willem Roelofs.

Isaro watercolours have been carefully crafted so that they have maximum transparency, providing luminosity and excellent layering capabilities. Handmade in an atelier in Belgium, Isaro use only high-quality gum arabic and pigments in their watercolours.

Gum arabic varies in colour from very pale yellow to dark brown, and the gum darkens on contact with the tannin in acacia bark. Isaro have selected the best acacia gum that when dissolved in water gives a clear solution. This maintains the purity and luminosity of the pigments. Glycerine and honey are also used in very precise amounts to enable the paint to remain supple. Isaro use a single-flower honey, the honey of acacia, so that the honey is also very clear.

The range of 60 colours is available in 7ml tubes.

This red is a very dark red. It is beautiful in particular with the Chartreuse Yellow because it forms delicate autumnal tones. Its nuance is reminiscent of "old Alizarin Crimson" but without the lack of stability.

Coliro Pearlcolors are unique shimmery metallic shades, perfect for creating wonderful shiny effects across a variety of techniques. Coliro Pearlcolors can be used in the same way as watercolours, simply using a brush and water. They are suitable for most surfaces including paper, stone and wood. Perfect to use on dark paper, they are ideally suited for calligraphy but are suitable for for many techniques in the same way watercolours would be.

Finetec Coliro Pearlcolors are manufactured using only Mica-Pigments and Gum Arabic.

Please note: because each colour is hand-made no two colour pots are the same. Additionally, the colour pots are slightly curved at the bottom due to the natural drying process, this means sometimes a little hole can appear in the middle of the colour pot after some use. This is not a default but an effect of the manufacturing process.
