A J Ludlow Professional Watercolour, Spring Special Six Colour Mini Mixing Set

This attractive "bijou" Professional Watercolour Gift Set is presented in a classic tin gift box and consists of six special spring colours: Cadmium Yellow (a red-shade yellow), Cadmium Red (a yellow-shade red), Mineral Rose (a delicate pink), Manganese Violet (an attractive blue-shade violet), Prussian Blue (a strong green-shade blue) and Cerulean Blue (a light blue). These six colours can easily form the basis of a simple palette as mixing produces a broad spectrum of secondary hues (for example see figure 1).

Each one of these watercolours is based on pigments with excellent permanence and light fastness, ensuring that their properties are exceptional. As with all our fine-art materials, the watercolours in this set are lovingly handmade in the UK by a skilled artisan from the best ingredients and finest pigments.
