Natural sea sponges are used by many watercolourists as well as other artists and craftspeople. They make useful tools for lifting colour from wet paintings or adding texture by lifting a pattern or bits of colour from your watercolour painting. They are also tough yet gentle for scrubbing a dry watercolour to lift the colour and hold more water than foam sponges.

Permanency: Moderately Durable 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.

A special soap based on pure vegetable oils with a citrus scent. For cleaning and maintaining brushes of natural hair, bristles, or synthetic fibres. Rectangular bar in a cardboard box.

Da Vinci All Natural Brush Soap with Conditioner cleans and maintains the brush head.

Brush hairs, bristles and synthetic fibres should be cleaned with a gentle but cleansing soap and warm water until the soap begins to produce white lather. You shouldn’t use a strong fat removing soap. Da Vinci brush soap is based on vegetable oils which clean and maintain the brush fibres. Natural hairs especially tend to break if they are missing their protective fat content. Using a gentle soap with conditioners will prolong the life as well as the suppleness of your brushes.

Afterwards wipe the brush with a fine piece of cloth and bring it to its original shape. Artists call this procedure “dressing”.Let the brush dry completely before you use it again. Don’t put it on the radiator to dry. There the hair will dry too quickly, the handle will shrink, and the brush head will come loose.
