Discover a carefully curated palette of 18 Holbein Artists’ Gouache colors, selected by Japanese artist Yoshiko Yamamoto for painting people, still life, landscapes, flowers, and the colours found throughout the natural world.
Holbein Artists’ Gouache is a professional-quality opaque watercolor paint known for its brilliant colour, excellent opacity, and smooth, versatile application. Its strong covering power allows you to layer colours confidently, even over darker areas, making it ideal for both detailed work and bold, graphic expressions.
This special colour set has been thoughtfully designed to give artists a practical and versatile palette. Colors that can easily be created by mixing other colours have been left out, while useful colours for flowers, landscapes, and natural subjects have been added. The selection also includes several beautiful, premium colours that expand the range of possible expressions.
With these 18 colours, you can mix and create a remarkably wide range of hues for portraits, still life, landscapes, botanical subjects, and more.
Holbein uses high-quality pigments selected for their excellent lightfastness, helping your artwork maintain its beautiful colours over time. Artists’ Gouache can also be used as an ink for woodblock printing.
