Watercolours
Compared with oil painting or acrylic paintings, watercolour painting can create more subtle and detailed effects on paper. Using watercolours with different transparency, hues, and working properties, the final result will be different.
We stock a wide range of watercolour paints individual pans and sets for professional artists and crafters. Ideal for sketching, sumi-e and watercolour bullet journaling.
Knowledge of using watercolour pans
The watercolour sets we stock are watercolour pans. They are easy to carry around and store because the watercolour paints are dry in each pan. Before using, you need to use water brushes to dip and dilute them. The water-based pigment paint can be used solely as gouache or create transparency with proper dilution.
