ROHRER'S ARTIST'S LIQUID WATERCOLOUR
In its tradition as a manufacturer of quality products for the visual arts Rohrer & Klingner has created a new series of watercolours for artists.
All shades, apart from black and white, incorporate organic pigments of great lightfastness and beautiful nuances. The acrylic binder is clear and colourless. As an innovation, we offer our watercolours in pipette bottles for a precise and clean removal of colour helpings.
The binder is not only a binding agent, it also influences the colour gradient. Its low dosage enables the dried colour to be dissolved one day after it has dried. An even better solubility can be achieved by using our Retarder. This medium is dilutable with water and can be added drop by drop to the colour.
Despite the liquid form of the colour the pigments are highly concentrated to maintain the colour strength when mediums are added. Undiluted applications, especially of the blue shades, may bronze when they dry. Due to the high specific weight of inorganic ultramarine pigments, we replaced this tone with royal blue.
The colours show both - great mobility and a conturizing tendency when applied on paper. This is especially helpful for moist-in-moist technique.
The dilutable Gloss Intensifier medium increases the concentration of binder.
The lightfastness stated is based on standardised measurement routines. Note that translucent oarts on paper are more light sensitive than opaque applications. You can maximize the lifetime of the colours by keeping the bottleneck clean and by closing the bottle directly after removing colour helpings. All 18 shades are available in 12ml pipette bottles. Use: The watercolour is ready for immediate use but should be shaken beforehand. Price per bottle.
