Formally known as the Artists' Watercolour range, the Professional Water Colour range offers a wide and balanced spectrum of 108 colours in Half Pans, Whole Pans and in 5ml tubes and 14ml tubes. A limited range of 24 colours are available in 37ml tubes.
Both Professional Water Colour tube and pan colours are made individually to the highest standards. Pan colour is often used by beginners because it can be less inhibiting and easier to control the strength of colour.
Tube colour is more popular overall, used by regular users, those who use high volumes of colour or stronger washes of colour. Many painters have both, as pan colours are useful when travelling and sketching. Of course, artists can use both tube and pan together if they wish.
