Holbein Watercolor Set 12X15ml-W894
- This set is part of Holbein’s Luminous or fluorescent line — the colors are vibrant and appear to “glow” on both light and dark papers
- The paint is made without ox-gall (an animal-derived wetting agent) or other dispersants.
- This gives more control to the artist in how the pigment spreads / disperses.
- The tubes use high-grade pigments with gum arabic as the binding medium. The pigments are finely ground using triple-roll mills.
- The watercolor is designed to rewet instantly, meaning that even after drying, the paint can be reactivated with water — a desirable quality in watercolors.
- No extra dispersing additives, the paint moves more slowly on the paper, giving better control over edges, blending, and fine detail.
- Being fluorescent, these luminous colors generally have a lower lightfast rating, so exposure to direct sunlight over long periods can diminish their vibrancy.
