Water-based pigments offer good transparency for glazing techniques and gradual layering, while the compact set of 15 colors provides a balanced palette for both study and finished pieces. The squeezable tubes are convenient for travel and storage, keeping paint fresh between sessions.

How to use

Dispense a small amount of paint from the tube onto a palette or mixing surface and dilute with water to achieve the desired transparency. Mix colors on the palette to create custom hues or apply direct from the tube for more concentrated strokes. For washes, use larger amounts of water and broad brushes; for details and layering, use less water and finer brushes. Reseal tubes after use to preserve pigment and prevent drying.

Usage recommendations

Store tubes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. When mixing, test color strength on scrap paper before applying to the final work. Use appropriate paper weight for watercolor to avoid buckling when applying multiple washes.
