Japan's HOLBEIN - named after Hans Holbein the Younger, the renowned artist of the German Renaissance - was founded in 1900. In the early 1920s, it introduced the professional extra-fine HWC ARTISTS' WATERCOLOUR™ paint.

And since then, that watercolour has enjoyed a 5 star reputation worldwide - in fact, it is incomparable! It is a Western-style watercolour - that is, more transparent - that feels like a classic, slightly more opaque Japanese watercolour under the brush. You can work with it decisively and precisely, with slow and thoughtful strokes. At lower dilution with water, sometimes even your brush strokes remain.

The pigments are more finely ground than in most other watercolours. And no oxgall, animal by-products or other dispersants are used. This gives you more control over your paint and produces bright colours with unrivalled brilliance and intensity - characteristic of Japanese watercolours - and purity. Perfect for the subtlest of washes as well as powerful full colours.

These granulating colours use pigments that are already granulating themselves. And because two or more such pigments are used per colour, the granulating effect is further enhanced. They are perfect for creating beautiful textured effects.

TIP! Working with lots of water and on rougher paper gives even more colour nuances.
