Holbein Artists Watercolor - Quinacridone Magenta 5ml

Holbein's extra-fine, European style transparent watercolor is renowned for its purity, permanence, and brilliance. It preserves the inherent brush handling qualities of traditional Japanese watercolor techniques. Unlike watercolors containing oxgall, animal by-products, or other dispersing agents, Holbein's formula moves slowly across the paper, allowing for greater color density and brush control.

The creamy texture of Holbein watercolor remains smooth even when dry, ensuring it will not crack, crumble, chip, or mold in the palette. To use, simply fill the wells of a palette with the desired color, allow it to dry, then wet the color as you would a traditional pan watercolor.

This European-style transparent watercolor is prized for its superior quality and performance. The absence of additives in the formula enables a level of control and precision that is difficult to achieve with many other brands. The slow, smooth application of the paint allows artists to build up rich, vibrant layers of color, while maintaining a high degree of clarity and luminosity.

Holbein's commitment to purity and permanence is evident in the formulation of this watercolor. The lack of oxgall and animal-derived products ensures the paint will not degrade or discolor over time, making it an excellent choice for works intended to last. The brilliant, crystalline appearance of the dried paint further attests to the quality of the pigments used.

The brush-handling properties of Holbein watercolor are a testament to the company's deep understanding of the medium. The paint's ability to maintain its creamy, workable consistency allows artists to explore a wide range of techniques, from delicate washes to bold, expressive strokes. This versatility makes Holbein an invaluable tool for watercolorists of all skill levels.

Whether you're a seasoned professional or a dedicated hobbyist, Holbein's extra-fine transparent watercolor offers a superior painting experience. Its purity, permanence, and brilliant color make it a standout choice in the world of watercolor paints. Unlock the full potential of your brushwork and achieve stunning, long-lasting results with this exceptional European-style formula.
