How about Talens Terrence watercolor brand introduction

Terrence is a pigment company that aims to operate at scale, and since the establishment of an ink factory in 1899, it has continued to expand its product line, automate production, and establish offices around the world. At present, there are no less than 10 brands under Terrence, and after being acquired by Sakura in Japan in 1991, the distribution network is spread to more than 100 countries around the world, including the Middle East, Africa and other regions.
 
Terrence's artist-grade pigments are collectively known as Rembrandt, and oil paints and watercolors were added to the production line in 1904, and the color selection style is darker, close to Schminck, but the coloring power is slightly weaker, and it will fade slightly after drying. After World War II, Terrence built a new factory in New Jersey, but Rembrandt's watercolors were still produced in the Dutch city of Apeldoorn, at the same high level. Of the 80 watercolors, all 78 of the 88 colors are not durable at all, with the exception of dark madder red and madder red.
 
As a brand with expansion as its goal, Terrence doesn't care about R&D. Rembrandt only uses high-quality pigments with excellent durability, but except for 43 of the 80 watercolors that are single pigments, the remaining 37 colors use only 5 pigments in total, which are mixed in different proportions. This greatly reduced Rembrandt's R&D costs, and its 5ml watercolor was priced at 28-34 yuan, which was the lowest price in European and American watercolors. If the price difference between Rembrandt's multi-color suit and the less-color suit is not large, it means that there are a lot of mixed colors and watercolors in the multi-color suit, and you need to be cautious about wet painting and color stacking.
 
To accommodate a wider range of amateur needs, Terrence introduced Van Gogh, an academy-grade pigment, in 1963. Van Gogh in addition to the degradation of pigments, serious water marks, performance is not worse than Rembrandt, 72 colors to reach the highest durability level of 66 colors, 10ml about 16 yuan, is also a cost-effective choice for entry.
 
After being acquired by Sakura in 1991, Terrence also launched the Terrence series made in Japan, with an 18-color solid color simple set of about 50 yuan. The Terrence series, which is often mentioned as the cherry blossom watercolor, has received many bad reviews such as coarse particles, impurities, poor diffusion, and dirty color mixing, dissuading countless beginners.
