If it's time for a new hobby, we've got just the thing.
When choosing from the best watercolour paints, you'll be confronted with a mountain of options. There's such a range of watercolours available that you might need a little guidance, which is where this list comes in handy. We have picked watercolour paints that will suit all kinds of artists working with a range of approaches from studio work to urban sketching.
Watercolour paints normally come in a liquid or as solid pans, which reactivate when wet. There are advantages to both forms – the tubes mix intense colour more easily and are ideal for studio work due to the mess, whereas pans are less messy and more portable. Both types consist of pigment to give the colour, a gum arabic binder, water, and additives like honey for stabilisation and consistency. Watercolour paint also combines well with other water-soluble media .
Artist and student-quality watercolour paints are extremely different, so it's important to try to get the right type. While artist-quality paint has rich and vibrant colour , student watercolours are much less pigmented and so are much thinner. Unsurprisingly, artist-quality paints are more expensive, but they are worth it as the tube lasts longer and the colours are brighter.
Within the artist-quality ranges there is not much difference in quality. However, each behaves uniquely and suits particular working approaches or offers a different range of colours. For instance, some paints granulate, meaning they leave a texture when dry – this depends on pigment and brand and is desired by some artists. Some tube paints dry and can be reactivated, whilst others stay wet and 'sticky' – again, this suits different approaches.
