Watercolor Paints

Watercolors are made by grinding pure pigments, adding gum arabic and wetting the mixture with water. Some brands add Ox Gall to increase gloss and dispersion. They make a great medium for traveling as the supplies are simple - paper, brushes, water & a travel set of watercolors. Choose from brands such as Winsor & Newon, Cotman, Van Gogh, Holbein, Daler-Rowney, Reeves, Prang, Pelikan & Peerless.
