Holbein Artists’ Watercolors have been manufactured in Japan for over a century and are widely respected for their precision, clarity and consistency. These are European-style transparent watercolors, refined through the discipline of the Japanese watercolor tradition.
Holbein watercolors are free from ox gall and dispersing agents, giving artists complete control over paint flow and color placement — an essential quality when working with high-intensity fluorescent pigments.
