About this material
Holbein Artists' Watercolor is an artist-grade watercolor paint in tubes. It is made mainly from pigment and gum arabic. The paint is highly concentrated, so you can thin it with water and get a wide range of tones. It does not sink too far into the paper, which makes it easy to work with. The colors are bright and very transparent, and many of the pigments resist fading.
There are 108 colors, and each one is sold on its own. Most tubes are 5 ml or 15 ml. In 5 ml tubes, sets come in 12, 18, 24, 30, 48, 60, and 108 colors. In 15 ml tubes, sets come in 12, 18, and 24 colors.
The paint is very transparent, so it works well when you thin it with water and build up layers of color.
