White Night is an artist-level watercolor brand under the Russian Nevskaya Palitra company, which has been producing watercolor since the former Soviet Union, and is one of the faces of the Russian art industry, and its status is equivalent to that of China's Marley.
The production style of White Night Watercolor is completely Russian rough, and the filling volume of liquid color is different for each piece, with occasional layering; The fixed color is poured into the lattice at one time, and there are obvious depressions after drying, and the pigment is thick in the middle and thin around it. It has a number of foundries in St. Petersburg, and the quality of the products varies, and everything can only be based on the actual product.
Because the pigments are all taken from Russian soil pigments, adding more gums of low quality, the white night watercolors produced by different factories have the defects of large particles, many impurities, and stickiness and poor dipping. The quality of the pigment leads to the average lightfastness of the white night, and there are 54 strong and durable colors in the 66 colors on the official website, but it is not accurate according to the actual measurement.
The biggest advantage of White Nights is that the color is very strong and eye-catching, which is a style that all the brands on the list do not have. Tube watercolor is completely unfavored because of the problem of degumming, the whole block of watercolor is less than 20 yuan, and the 12-color set can be started at 140 yuan, which also has a certain cost-effective advantage.
Nevskaya Palitra also has Ladoga and Sonnet two collegiate watercolors, the quality of the pigments is not as good as that of White Nights, and the price is close to Marley's student-grade watercolors.
