Choosing Keeping Special Edition Marie-Antoinette Watercolour Set, 20 Colours
£75.00
In celebration of our 2024 Christmas theme - a Rococo Christmas, introducing a special edition 20 colour set in a cameo of pink, blue and yellow.
This Japanese alternative to standard European watercolours is not dissimilar to gouache and is made by a 100 year old paint maker in Japan. The paints can be used directly out of the box with a wet paintbrush - either thinly in translucent washes, or by layering for a bolder effect. These can also be used on darker paper bases to enhance colours further.
We recommend the Aquarella (white) and Aquarello (off-white) for the perfect paper pairing.
