Holbein is an all-round pigment brand in Japan, affected by the painting environment, the gouache line that meets the needs of comic creation has achieved better results, because it is the most cost-effective, and has a reputation that is not inferior to Windsor Newton in Europe and the United States and a user base comparable to Schmink and Murray.
The victory of Holbein gouache in Europe and the United States, in addition to relying on the celebrity effect of the German painter Holbein, also lies in the equal treatment of watercolor and gouache, and its artist-level gouache number is only 19 fewer than watercolor, a total of 89 colors, which is more sincere than Murray's 54 colors and Schminck's 48 colors.
The abundant shades come from the Institute of Painting Materials, founded by Holbein in 1933, and currently covers more than 400 kinds of pigment resources in the laboratory, including all kinds of high-grade organic and inorganic pigments, providing 31 opaque shades and 32 semi-opaque shades for Holbein's artist-grade gouache, all of which have strong hiding power, concentrated in blue, green, earth colors and several classic primary colors. But in addition, there are 20 translucent shades and 6 transparent shades, mainly concentrated in yellow and purple.
As an artist-grade gouache, Holbein's durability performance is slightly inferior to that of Windsor Newton, out of 89 colors, only 50 colors are suitable for artistic creation, and 45 colors are used for a single pigment gouache, which is similar to its watercolor performance. However, gouache does not have the requirements of rendering power like watercolor, which just avoids the technical shortcomings of Holbein, and Holbein's praised grinding and filling technology makes its gouache receive a delicate and smooth praise, so its controllability is close to Nicker, but the dispersion of gouache in the painting trace is slightly less when wet painting, and the transition is not as natural as Nicker.
Good quality with preferential price, Holbein is almost the most recommended artist-grade gouache in the Chinese market, 15ml is sold for 30-60 yuan, from 5 primary color basic sets to 84 color large sets, covering the comprehensive needs of novices, color mixing masters and collection control.
