Holbein Artists' Watercolors - Holbein Artists' Watercolors are imported from Japan, a country with the oldest
professional watercolor tradition in the world. Japanese colors have always been renowned
for their brilliance, and Holbein continues in the same tradition. For more
than a century, the Holbein color laboratories have produced a full-range palette
of transparent watercolors that not only achieve world-class standards in lightfastness and
color vigor, they also retain their clean, crisp, brilliant characteristics over long
periods of time. In addition to the pigments that are traditionally used
in European art, the Holbein watercolor collection contains many exceptional and brilliant
colors that are not found in other watercolor lines. Holbein does not
contain ox-gall or any other dispersants that inhibit optimum brush handling qualities.
This makes Holbein ideal for painting in the Japanese watercolor tradition, where
brushstrokes are often preserved. Holbein is the perfect choice for fine detail
work such as lettering and scrolling. Gift Idea — For the artist

Holbein Artist's Oil Colors - Holbein ranks as one
of the world's finest lines of professional oil colors. The formulation of
each color is modified individually to compensate for the inherent differences in
the working characteristics of pigments. The result is an even consistency across
the entire palette of color. Holbein maintains its quality standards by test
inspection of pigment purity, color tone, applicability and adhesion, physical stability, light
stability, thermo-stability, and anti-bacterial stability. Pigments are ground from three to five
times as necessary to achieve a universally consistent viscosity. The manufacturing process
in each of the preparation, mixing, grinding, adjustment, and filling stages is
monitored by reference to optimum quality standards. |
