Holbein Artists' Watercolors

A European-type transparent watercolor, the Holbein watercolor preserves the brush-handling qualities inherent in traditional Japanese opaque watercolor techniques. Without ox-gall or other dispersing agents, the Holbein watercolor moves more slowly than its competitors, permitting greater color density control and hence brush control. It is a color line with a consistent creamy texture for mixing with a deep, clear, clean color tone which remains brilliant, even when watered down to light hues. Engineered to surpass the quality standards set by both North American and European manufacturers, Holbein watercolor will not dry out, mold, crack or crust like competitive brands. Widely preferred around the world for its handling qualities, Holbein watercolor truly ranks as the world's finest. Tested and labeled in accordance with the requirements of the ASTM D-4236 health standard.
