Old Holland : Watercolor Paint : Chart

SKU WHHCC

The launch of the Old Holland's oil paint series in a unique range of 168 colors was followed by the launch Old Holland Classic Watercolors in the same rich range. One of the unique characteristics of these watercolors is the unparalleled color strength (maximum pigmentation). Whilst this high color strength requires a slightly different approach on the part of the aquarellist (so little paint is needed from the tube or cup for the desired color effect that you have to get used to the ratio of paint to diluent), the advantages are clear. It is well-known that Old Holland attaches a hand-painted color strip to its tubes of oil paint and acrylic paint, showing the paint in the tube in question. A different solution was chosen for the watercolors. The labels of the tubes and cups of watercolor do not show the full tone of the paint, but the undertone (a logical choice following on from the technique of watercolor painting). The colors on the labels are screen printed with the watercolor in this undertone, using a screen printing technique developed specially for Old Holland. Please be aware that this is a printed color chart. Though every effort has been taken to ensure accuracy, this color chart cannot provide an exact guide to the shade and lustre of each color. Only a hand painted color chart can convey this information.
