Much of Holbein’s unmatched global reputation stems from the extraordinary quality of its Artist Watercolors. First introduced in the early 1920s and now offered in 108 richly concentrated shades, Holbein Artist Watercolor embodies the best of European transparent watercolor traditions while retaining the refined brush-handling characteristics of Japanese techniques. Finely milled to a degree unmatched by any other brand, Holbein Artist Watercolor is uniquely formulated without ox gall—an animal by-product. This ensures exceptional control over pigment flow, superior handling, and colors of remarkable intensity, purity, and consistency. The result is brilliant, transparent washes or deep, luminous darks with unequaled clarity. Holbein Artist Watercolor remains the benchmark by which all other watercolors are measured.
