Holbein Artists’ Watercolors have been manufactured in Japan for over a century and are renowned for their precision, clarity and consistency. These are European-style transparent watercolors, refined through the discipline of the Japanese watercolor tradition.
Holbein watercolors contain no ox gall or dispersing agents, allowing artists to fully control how the paint moves on the paper. This makes them ideal for glazing, detailed work and layered techniques where precision matters.
The Botanical Art Set features a carefully curated selection of colors tailored for plants, flowers, foliage and natural subjects. With a balanced range of greens, earth tones, yellows, reds and violets, this set is equally suitable for botanical artists, illustrators, urban sketchers and cartoonists working with nature-inspired themes.
The set includes 24 watercolor tubes of 5ml, providing a specialized yet versatile palette for professional use.
