A European style transparent watercolor which preserves the brush handling qualities inherent in Japanese watercolor techniques. More finely ground than any other artist watercolor, Holbein Artist Watercolor is produced without ox-gall, animal by-products or other dispersing agents. This affords the user greater control in the dispersal of their pigments, enhances handling qualities and delivers color of unequaled intensity, purity and reliability for brilliant transparent washes and or powerful, clean darks.

This is a collaboration item between Holbein and Yuko Higuchi, an artist who is active as a painter and picture book writer. All the illustrations are original drawings. It is a wonderful tin can with a design on the inside as well. It includes 12 colors of 5ml watercolor tubes.
