Product Review: Holbein Artists' Watercolour
The HK Holbein Watercolours brand are made in Osaka, Japan, and boast a number of special properties. I noticed in the Jackson's Art Supplies in the UK had listed them as higher quality than Daniel Smith or Winsor and Newton in their 2017 Watercolour Catalogue, so I was intrigued! I procured a Starter Set (aka Introductory Set), which contains Vermillion Hue, Carmine Lake, Viridian Hue, Permanent Yellow Deep, Burnt Sienna and Peacock Blue. I reviewed them in my recent video which you can watch here:
If you want to buy Holbein watercolours to try them for yourself, you can try the following vendors - personally, I think Jackson's have the best deals and shipping prices and they have a better range of stock as a rule: Jackson's Art Supplies UK based company with fantastic customer service and have international shipping options and a LOT of excellent discounts! Amazon UK They have a good selection and some good deals but if you want individual colours, Jackson's is probably better. Amazon USA Again, much like the UK site but a good selection of individual colours.
If you want the specific set that I tried out to see for yourself:
