  • TOP.1 Daniel Smith

    Daniel Smith United States

    Since the science of pigments has been linked to the particle size of pigments, watercolor pigments, which are most transparent and most affected by particle size, are no longer dominated by traditional brands. Founded in 1976, Daniel Smith is a rising star who grew up at this stage, focusing on fine grinding of pigments, matching specific pigments to specific particle sizes, and testing the lightfastness, tinting strength, particle size and density of each batch of products, perfecting the scientific ratio, and quickly gaining a good reputation around the world. Daniel Smith only started producing watercolors in Washington in 1993, but as of 2019, 258 colors have been released, all of which are artist-quality, with a single pigment ratio of 86%, which is unmatched by global watercolor brands. According to the ASTM light fastness standard, there are 223 kinds of watercolor pigments that have reached grade 1, 26 kinds of grade 2, and only 2 colors are not lightfast, which is an ideal pigment for the creation of works of art. Daniel Smith's 258 color compositions are complex, including vintage mineral colors from the PrimaTek range, special colors such as lightfast orange-red, pearlescent, and metallic colors of quinacridone pigments, almost each with its own originality. ...

In 1841, it received a royal warrant from Queen Victoria, and its glory continues to this day. After several major groups changed hands, Windsor Newton's business territory expanded rapidly, and now it is one of the most well-known pigment manufacturers in the world. Windsor Newton's prestige in the watercolor world is unparalleled, as early as 1892, Windsor Newton was the first to publish pigment composition and durability data, and to this day, its accuracy is still 100%, without missing a single error.

  • TOP.3 Schmincke 史明克

    Schmincke 史明克 Germany

    The old German factory Schminck is a traditional family business that has been producing watercolor paints since the end of the 19th century for four generations. At the turn of the century, Schminck's main leaders changed from family members to professional managers, and the business officially opened up to global retailers. Schmink invented hand-poured solid color in 1982 and was the first recipient of watercolor patents. Prior to this, the production method of solid color is mainly to rub the strip and cut it, and special ingredients need to be added, which is not easy to dip, and it will dry out and crack after thorough drying. No additional ingredients are added to the hand-poured fixing color, and the pigment is injected into the color disc in 4 times over a period of 3-5 months to ensure the uniform dispersion of the pigment in a slow drying. Compared with Daniel Smith and other latecomers of hand-poured fixed color, Schmin Solid Color is still the best to dip, dry and can be restored to use, in the year of invention swept Germany, France, Hungary several countries of patent certification. In 2017, the HORADAM series of master watercolors was expanded from 35 colors to 139 colors, including 9 lightfast quinacridone pigments and 22 granulation pigments. Due to the beauty...

  • TOP.4 M.Graham

    M.Graham United States

    M. Graham, also from the United States, has gained a large number of fans for his renaissance of materials and the revival of small-batch slow grinding, and has been able to compete with Daniel Smith in the American market less than 30 years after its establishment. After being included in the high-end watercolor review lists of YouTube and Douban, it has gradually accumulated a considerable number of users in China and Europe, and Daniel Smith has the momentum of catching up with traditional manufacturers. M.Graham was founded by two painters who were passionate about the revival of pigments, so the selling point of his pigments overlapped with the old Netherlands with a history of more than 300 years: high pigment concentration, extremely strong tinting power, and a small amount of paint to achieve the effect. The small-batch, slow-speed grinding method used by M.Graham is also similar to the manual grinding of old Holland, with fine and uniform pigment grains. However, M.Graham's watercolor is appropriately added with honey with its own moisturizing function, so that its diffusion ability has been highly evaluated, and the color mixing and rendering are natural and not stiff, and the effect is comparable to that of Merry Blue. Taking advantage of the convenience of the United States as a world trade center, M.Graham can easily obtain international high-grade pigments, but due to the short history of the brand, it is not a problem...

  • TOP.5 Maimeri Murray

    Maimeri Murray Italy

    Founded in 1923, the predecessor of Murray was the first professional oil paint factory in Italy. In the 30s, under the influence of the unified economic policy, Italy's chemical industry flourished, and the strength of Murray was greatly strengthened, and after two factory expansions in 1936 and 1969, it was acquired by the well-known art material group FILA (not a sportswear brand of the same name), and is now a leading company in the production and distribution of art pigments in Italy. Murray is an all-round brand, with oil paints, acrylic paints, watercolors, and gouache covering all aspects, although Maimeri Puro oil paints are the main ones, but the artist-level Maimeri Blu watercolors have a higher volume. Compared with the calm Schmink, the clear and sweet color of Merry Blue has more watercolor characteristics. On the premise of ensuring the concentration of the pigment, it uses a balanced mixture of gum arabic, glycerin and bovine bile as a medium, so that the pigment has the best diffusion property in the recognition, and any two colors can be easily blended, and the color mixing is natural, making it the preferred pigment for wet painting. However, the excellent diffusion properties also bring trouble, and the Meritry blue watercolor will continue to be uniform before drying.

  • TOP.6 Old Holland 老Netherlands

    Old Holland 老Netherlands Netherlands

    The land of the Netherlands gave birth to talented painters such as Van Gogh and Rembrandt, and the painters were very good at painting techniques, even the development of pigments. At the beginning of the 17th century, Dutch painting entered a golden age, and in many painters' guilds, the discussion of painting techniques and the development of oil paint went hand in hand, and the old Netherlands originated from the Guild of St. Luke, which was established in 1664, and was only engaged in the production of oil paints at first. At that time, mixing pigments was the main way to get more colors, and until 1750, there were only 18 kinds of pigment raw materials used in the old Netherlands, so the most expensive pigments in the old Holland were not single pigments, but pigments mixed according to the ancient method. But since then, after several iterations of the head, the old Holland has also continued to expand the variety of pigments, the introduction of light-resistant substitutes, by 1985 a total of 168 colors of oil paint and finalization, followed by 1987 watercolor, 1998 acrylic paint, are based on the 168 colors of research and development. Because of the ancient method of mixing, the ratio of single pigment to pigment in the old Holland was only about 60%, and the pigment was still milled using manual grinders of the early 20th century. ...

    Sennelier France

    Originating in 1887 on the opposite side of the Louvre River, Shenelil was a supplier of oil paints for famous painters such as Picasso, Cézanne, and Gauguin at the end of the 19th century. Cézanne once used Shenelil's watercolors to create a group of works, which are said to have been handed down to more than 20 paintings, leaving Shenelil with a lot of publicity capital. Shenelil pigments are known for adding far more honey than any other brand, and in 2012, on the occasion of the brand's 125th anniversary, it even added honey to all 98 watercolors of the artist grade. Honey is a natural preservative, brightener and humectant that gives pigments a soft sheen, and the Shenelil artist's watercolour is bright and translucent, with only slightly less transparency than Newton's at Windsor. But the extremely high content of honey also makes Shenellir the slowest drying watercolor on the market. Aside from the highlights of the honey, because of the fine grinding, the diffusion performance of Shenelil's watercolor is also good, but the color performance can only be considered unsatisfactory. Its artist-grade Iaquarelle series of watercolors has a monochrome pigment ratio of less than 50%, and it is easy to get dirty when mixing colors. 98 colors that are completely intolerant to light...

  • TOP.8 Holbein Holbein

    Holbein Holbein Japan

    Because of the different artistic atmospheres, East Asian countries focus on the development of their own Chinese painting pigments, including the improved pigments of Japanese Chinese painting, while the research and development of watercolor, oil painting pigments and acrylic paints lag behind European and American countries as a whole. Founded in 1900, Holbein is one of Japan's most powerful pigment dealers, and in 1933 it established the Painting Materials Research Institute, gaining experience from the analysis of foreign oil paints, and developed its own set of theories. Holbein is best known for its grinding and filling technology, watercolor and oil paint are produced separately in two factories, and watercolor is also filled exclusively in a third factory in Kosaka, where the pigments are finely ground and evenly dispersed. In addition to high-grade inorganic and organic pigments, its two laboratories also have more than 400 kinds of pigment resources such as fluorescence, pearlescent, and soil pigments of Italian origin, which can be developed vigorously. Holbein selects and blends 108 artist-quality watercolors with brightness between Windsor, Newton and Murray, with vivid colors and high transparency, which are impeccable in terms of monochromatic color rendering. But judging from the unique color mixing and blending ability of watercolor, Holbai...

    Talens Terrence Netherlands

    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 a total of pigments...

  • TOP.10 LUKAS Lucas

    LUKAS Lucas Germany

    Founded in 1862, Lucas is almost Germany's oldest pigment brand, and its father's father owned the largest and oldest art store in the industry, which was voted the largest and oldest in the industry in 1902, and is now part of the FILA Group, along with Murray. Today, Lucas's pigment production has been thoroughly integrated with modern industry. The Aquarell 1862 series is Lucas's artist-quality watercolor, all the pigments used in it are evenly ground by the machine to 2m, although there is no specific particle size for each color, but the grinding is very uniform, ready for a strong diffusion ability. Lucas Watercolor's adhesive is not made of gum arabic like other brands, but dextrin is extracted from gum arabic, and combined with a special glucose derivative, the adhesion is not as good as that of pure gum arabic. Therefore, Lucas's watercolor is very easy to dip into, and it spreads widely, but adding too much water can lead to unevenness, which is not as good as Merry Blue, which is made for wet painting. Due to the high binder content, the pigment is diluted, and the color rendering is not strong even at the artist level. Lucas's pigment performance is also relatively average, Aquarell 1862 series of 70 colors, mixed pigment pigment 22 kinds, no...

    At present, Marley Painting Materials is the absolute leader in China's painting pigment industry, with a market share of about 40% in China, and has maintained the first place for a long time. Because of its high cost performance, it also has good sales in Europe and the United States, and its products are also sold to more than 60 countries and regions. The predecessor of Marley was the Marley Craft Society, which was established in 1919, merged with the Jincheng Craft Society in 1956 to form the Shanghai Pigment Factory, and in 1993, it established a joint venture with Shanghai Investment Co., Ltd. to establish Shanghai Industrial Marley Painting Materials Co., Ltd. Marley has contracted almost all the firsts in the modern history of Chinese pigments: China's first watercolor paints, crayons, oil paints, hose Chinese painting paints, and acrylic paints are all produced by Marley, which has contributed to China's pigment self-sufficiency. Limited by the quality of domestic pigments, the quality of Marley's watercolors in the last century was very average, with large particles and opaque, almost no different from gouache. After joining the WTO in 2001, Marley was finally able to buy more decent pigments, and also introduced grinders, vacuum stirring and dispersing machines, and automatic filling machines from Europe and the United States, and the quality was gradually improved.

    white nights 白夜 Russia

    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 watercolor is less than 20 yuan, and the 12-color suit can be started at 140 yuan, and it also has a certain cost performance...
