Watercolor paint set Bertus 6 colors x 20 ml ASTRA — compact artist paints

Bertus watercolor paint set contains six essential colors in 20 ml tubes, produced under the ASTRA line. The compact set is intended for painting, sketching and educational or hobby use, offering basic pigment hues that can be used individually or mixed to expand the palette. Tube packaging preserves the remaining paint and enables precise control of the amount dispensed, which is useful for layered washes and detailed work by students and amateur artists.

Advantages

The paints deliver translucent, blendable color suitable for traditional watercolor techniques such as washes, glazing and wet-on-wet application. Tubes protect the product from drying out between sessions and make it easy to squeeze a consistent amount onto a palette. The selection of six fundamental tones provides a practical base for color mixing and for learning color relationships. The compact format is convenient for storage and transportation and fits easily into school bags or hobby boxes.

How to use

Squeeze a small amount of paint from the tube onto a palette or mixing surface and dilute with water to reach the desired transparency and flow. Apply with brushes appropriate to the chosen technique: round or flat brushes for washes and details. For layered effects, allow each layer to dry before applying the next. Rinse brushes frequently to avoid unwanted color contamination and close the tube cap securely after use to prevent drying.

Usage recommendations

Store the tubes in a cool, dry place and keep caps tightly closed. Use watercolor or mixed-media paper with sufficient weight to prevent buckling when applying washes. Test color mixtures on scrap paper to evaluate transparency and drying appearance before working on the final piece.
