HOLBEIN Watercolour Set YUKO HIGUCHI 108 Colours 5 ml.

The HOLBEIN YUKO HIGUCHI 108 Colours 5ml Watercolour Set is a unique piece created as part of a special collaboration between celebrated Japanese illustrator Yuko Higuchi and renowned watercolour brand Holbein. Launched in 2023, this limited set offers 108 shades of high-quality transparent watercolours, each presented in tubes decorated with an unpublished illustration created by Higuchi, making it both a professional tool and a work of art in its own right.

The Holbein watercolours included in this set are known for their excellent performance: their high concentration of pigments allows for a smooth and even application, without over-soaking the paper. In addition, the colour range is vibrant, making it possible to create works full of life and detail. The transparency of the colours is an outstanding feature, making it easy to layer and experiment with different watercolour techniques.

The set comes in a paper box with an elegant and functional transparent case, perfect for keeping all the paints organised. It also includes a special booklet that accompanies both this set and the 24-colour set, offering additional information about the collaboration and Higuchi's illustrations. With a compact but complete size (414 mm wide, 275 mm deep and 25 mm high) and a weight of approximately 1,480 g, this set is easy to transport and store, ideal for artists on the move or studios with limited space.

What really sets this set apart is its durability and quality. The watercolours are formulated to offer excellent lightfastness, ensuring that the colours will not fade over time. These paints are not only bright and high quality, but are also designed to blend easily and adapt to a wide variety of artistic techniques and styles.
