Van Gogh Watercolor, 10 mL, #371 Permanent Red Deep

VAN GOGH: QUALITY, AFFORDABLE WATERCOLORSVan Gogh paints are student-grade watercolors made in the Netherlands, in the same production facility as Royal Talens professional-grade products. They are a fraction of the price of other European watercolor brands, and they are impressively bright and well-behaved on paper.With more than a century of experience, Royal Talens understands the principles of colormaking. Van Gogh watercolor is transparent, easily liftable, and capable of making high-chroma mixtures unlike many watercolors at the same price point. Each color is individually rated for lightfastness, so you wont need to worry about faded paintings.So whats the downside compared with more expensive paints? Theres less pigment per milliliter in a student-grade paint, which means that the very darkest colors may not be achievable. And certain intense pigments are too expensive to be included in student-grade assortments. These disadvantages are partly balanced by the advantage of quicker painting with less dilution, which can make watercolor painting easier for beginners.Affordable, easy to use, brightly pigmented, and ethically produced in Europe. Thats the powerful value package that you get with Van Gogh watercolor.ABOUT ROYAL TALENS2024 marks the 125th anniversary of Royal Talens, one of the worlds great color houses and one of the Netherlands great cultural exports of the last century.
