HOLBEIN ARTISTS’ GRANULATING WATERCOLOR

HOLBEIN ARTISTS’ IRIDESCENT WATERCOLOR

HOLBEIN ARTISTS’ LUMINOUS WATERCOLOR

***Holbein Japan Update May 2026 (Notes on use for Luminous Watercolors in 5ml and 15ml tubes): Please take note that some Luminous Watercolors emit a noticeable odor. This is a normal characteristic of the materials used and doesn’t affect the paint’s quality or performance. 

We also recommend squeezing out only the amount of Luminous watercolor paint needed for immediate use and keeping the remaining paint sealed in the tube. Luminous Watercolors do not rewet easily.

HOLBEIN ARTISTS’ BOTANICAL WATERCOLOR

HOLBEIN ARTISTS’ WATERCOLOR PENCILS

Holbein’s Watercolor Pencils expand what watercolor can be—combining the smooth feel of a pencil with the expressive solubility of paint. Built with the same pigment technology as Holbein Artists’ Watercolors, they deliver rich color, effortless blending, and seamless compatibility with Holbein’s watercolor line. Crafted with a thick, comfortable core and artist‑grade pigments, these pencils offer artists exceptional handling, superior lightfastness, and a painting experience that feels uniquely Holbein.

HOLBEIN WATERCOLOR PENCIL PALETTE

WP-P:
Unlock the full potential of Holbein Artists’ Watercolor Pencils with the all-new Watercolor Pencil Palette. This textured palette features a double-sided design: a textured front surface that lets you shave pencil lead directly onto the surface and dissolve it with water—giving you the freedom to mix colors, adjust color intensity, and control moisture like professional watercolors— and a smooth back surface designed for use with Holbein Artists’ Watercolor.  
Designed for ultimate versatility, its ergonomic, ambidextrous shape ensures a comfortable grip for everyone; this palette enables smooth, natural gradients and streak-free coloring–techniques that are often difficult to achieve with pencils alone. Plus, its ultra-compact design fits perfectly inside the Holbein Set of 24 Watercolor Pencils (WP192), making it the perfect companion for artists on the go.  

How to Use:
1. Rub the watercolor pencil tip on the textured side to produce powder. 
2. Mix the powder with a wet brush and start painting.

Care Instructions: It is reusable and easy to clean with water. If the surface becomes stained, simply let it dry and rub it with a plastic eraser to restore it to its original state.
