Further Information
The Japanese Watercolour Palette is inspired by the colours and materials of traditional Japanese watercolour painting and woodblock prints.
Soft, ethereal tones sit alongside deep, dramatic darks and vivid accent colours, allowing artists to explore contrast, atmosphere, and balance. Jewel-like in character, these colours excel in both delicate washes and bold, graphic applications.
Professionally hand-mulled in Devon, this palette is a unique addition to any paint box and particularly suited to artists who value texture, granulation, and historical pigment traditions.
