Artists' Water Colour is a water colour that offers the wider choice of pigments and the higher possible permanence. Artists' Water Colour continues to be formulated and manufactured according to our founding principles - to create an unparalleled water colour range which offers artists the wider and balanced choice of pigments with the possible permanence. Both Artists' Water Colour tube and pan colours are made individually to the higher standards. Pan colour is often used by beginners because it can be less inhibiting and easier to control the strength of colour. Tube colour is used by regular users, those who use high volumes of colour or stronger washes of colour. Many painters have both, as pan colours are useful when travelling and sketching. Of course, artists can use both tube and pan together if they wish.
