Using only the finest pigments, both modern and traditional, these paints are known for their clean mixing, brilliance and strength of colour.  Eighty colours in the range are made using a single pigment.

Unrivalled Transparency is achieved by an unique process of pigment dispersion during manufacture, so important in colour painting allowing thin washes to be applied allowing the white of the paper to reflect through the wash.

The natural characteristics of each pigment highlights the paint’s transparency level. 

Permanence- the majority colours in the range are classed as "permanent for artists' use”, rated AA or A for archival permanence ensuring that colours used today will appear the same for generations to come.
