Every great watercolor has its particular personality, and in our view, Holbein's best features are its unparalleled high-chroma colors and its transparency. One glance at Holbein's color chart reveals that these colors are all about intensity and light, with numerous botanical pinks, stormy deep blues, and fewer neutrals than you'd expect. Because the pigments are so intense and finely milled, Holbein outperforms other watercolor in thin, transparent applications. Every Holbein watercolor dilutes smoothly to create a wide range of values, from ultra-dark to subtle and light. Its bright pigments and advanced formula allow you to color more water, more evenly, with a very small amount of paint. In general, Holbein colors are less granulating and more uniform in texture and flow than the classic European watercolors on which they were based in Holbein's early days. They are also generally brighter. Even in Holbein's range of earth pigments, you'll find surprisingly bright colors, particularly in the intense gold and red undertones. 15 mL tube. Made in Japan.

I invested in one of the substantial pan sets early on. Didn't understand color or how to work with water media. Years later I continue to grow and experiment with these wonderful, versatile paints. I also use Holbein gouache and water miscible oils. I use other brands as well but Holbein is my foundation.

Okay, what I have been trying to find is the basic three primary colors in watercolor that are pure colors. Cyan, Yellow, and Magenta. From these you can theoretically make all colors. Holbein has clean, bright, pure colors. I only used Holbein Yellow, Quinacridone Magenta, and Pthalo blue, (yellow shade) in the picture I included. For the cat only I used Cobalt Violet light. You can see from the picture the secondary colors of Green, Purple and Orange. I am happy with the secondary colors. No gray Purples or Olive Greens or brown Oranges. Just clean colors. Also, when I get Holbein watercolors. I get the advantage of painting in the Japanese non- dispersive color style, or by adding some Ox Gall I can paint the standard dispersive style where the color blooms out. ... MoreOkay, what I have been trying to find is the basic three primary colors in watercolor that are pure colors.

I have heard that Holbein has the finest ground pigments. Giving a brightness to the colors. I believe it! Thanks Blick for making Holbein watercolors available at such low prices! I have looked many places. You have the best selection and the best price for Holbein watercolors! #sweepstakes

I bought this to replace my M. Graham Indian Yellow. The M. Graham brand is a lovely paint, but it remains soft in the palette and tends to run all over into other colors if you move it (and my palette goes everywhere with me). Holbein Isoindolinone Yellow Deep is the exact same pigment as M.Graham Indian Yellow (PY110), and just as vibrant, but it stays in the well.

I think this is my favorite watercolor color. You can get such a range of tones by applying more thickly or thinning out into a thinner wash. Adds a hint of blue to less saturated images, and mixes with brown to make a great black.#sweepstakes
Super nice quality pro watercolor paints! Vibrant, and they disperse well in wet. Saturated too, the Cobalt is amazing. The clarity is lovely on these paints and for the most part the colors are nuanced rather than overly bright or cartoonish looking. They set up very well in a DIY pan. I like this brand just as well as Daniel Smith. Daniel Smith has a more engaging and helpful website that makes it easier to locate full specs, and if you're a big fan of granulation, DS has more (and more inventive) options in that category. But Holbein seems to have a better selection of non granulating paints. They make some interesting paler and pastel colors too, none of which are in this set, except for Chinese White which is a great paint because it can dupe the effect of ... MoreSuper nice quality pro watercolor paints!

I have quite a few of these watercolors and like them, crimson lake, leaf green lovely colors. I had been recommended the lilac several times so I ordered it. I do not like this and I would not even classify the lilac as watercolor I would classify it as a gouache. It is so opaque and flat and dead looking. If you want a similar color tone with some vibrancy I highly recommend Wisteria instead.#sweepatakes
This is my first time using Holbein watercolors and I am impressed! I really enjoy their range of colors and the overall characteristics of the paint. It does behave more like gouache than other watercolors I have used, but I use gouache regularly so it is not a problem. #sweepstakes
This color is not quite yellow and not quite white, but a warm shade somewhere in between. The only reason I did not give it five stars is because it is somewhat opaque. When it is thinned down, it is very usable in places where you want to Glaze over another color in order to make it appear a little misty. Conversely, full strength, kit can cover a mistake pretty well..
I normall do not write reviews let alone about higher type products especially in the art department. My sister and I have been watching many You Tube channels regarding various watercolor and other forms of art material. I decided to jump the fence and buy some Holbein watercolors, a big undertaking for me. i had found a bag of old paints and low and behold, my Aqua Duo oils were Holbein. Imagine my surprise. I purchased them as part of my art class at junior college had to pack away most of my supplies and forgot I had them. Those are great. However to get back to Watercolors.My learning curve with watercolors so far is limited. In learning i kept wanting to use them like acrylics or oils. Not a good idea I found. Then I decided several days ago to jump in feet ... MoreI normall do not write reviews let alone about higher type products especially in the art department.

However to get back to Watercolors.My learning curve with watercolors so far is limited. In learning i kept wanting to use them like acrylics or oils. Not a good idea I found. Then I decided several days ago to jump in feet first and give it another try and opened up the box of Holbein again. I absolutely loved the colors which are bright and clean. I found I could mix colors together without fear although I can still muddy the waters so to speak. But it is easier. I now have several projects to water color that will Hopeflly get me better at this form of art work. Would I order Holbein again? Absolutely., My sister has ordered some of their product and I also ordered their Acryllic 12 paints. Have made my color swatch but not painted with them yet. That's one of my next projects in a day or so. However, from what limited time I have used them, they are like butter in consistency to use. Anyhow, sorry this is so long.
