Watercolour Paints

Watercolour paints can be used on paper and any surface that accepts water-based paint. Our watercolours are highly pigmented, versatile and can be diluted further with water as needed. Subtle, almost invisible and playful colour gradients are what make watercolour painting so appealing. Anyone who has ever painted with watercolours knows that this technique isn't easy. Watercolour painting requires a balance between control and letting go.

Watercolour tips

Watercolour painting uses transparent water-based paints on special paper. With the right primer, watercolours can also be used on canvas. In watercolour painting, you start with delicate, light tones and gradually move on to darker ones. Lightening areas afterwards is only possible to a limited extent. The short drying time means you need to work quickly. Find out more about watercolour painting and other painting techniques in our guide.
