Collector's "Blanco"

Collector’s “Blanco” is a water-soluble powdered paint, which has been designed to replicate the materials used by the British military to renovate personal webbing equipment. 

Formulated to be washable, so it can be easily removed and not be a permanent coating, making it ideal for collectors of militaria, museums, and for use in theatre and film.

Ultramarine Blue Professional Watercolour:

"This ultramarine is a paint I would definitely buy again. The creamy texture of the undiluted paint is so easy to use straight from the bottle. I use a lot of greys mixed from ultramarine and raw sienna and am delighted with the outcome . The colour is beautifully intense ,drying to the same richness as when wet.”
Diana Boanas - Hull

"I have painted monochrome watercolours for many years, ultramarine in particular and am very surprised by the high quality of this product. Since purchasing the paint I have produced two portraits and have found the colour very flexible. It is very intense when applied with little water and easily diluted to produce a fantastic range of light and shade when used wet in wet. I am really pleased to have been introduced to the range of Ludlow colours."
Christopher Medcalf - Lincoln 
Charcoal Grey Professional Watercolour:

“Just used the charcoal grey watercolour I purchased from A J Ludlow. Fantastic quality such a small amount goes a long way. Will definitely be investing in more colours”
Jimmy Solo - Cambridge 
Impasto Medium

"I enjoyed using Impasto Medium creating 3D effects to my Watercolour Paintings. It is easy to use. I used it with colour and without mixing with colours. I mixed Impasto Medium with different colours, and then applied the colours to my painting with a pallet knife. It's like painting with oil colours. I also used Impasto Medium without mixing with colours, and then applied Watercolours on the dried Impasto Medium area. It gave translucent effect to the painting. It's very enjoyable. I will do more with the Impasto Medium."
Meiru Wei -Cambridge
