These Watercolours are made with the finest pigments to create a range of unique colours. These paints are available in 5ml and 20ml tubes.
Wallace Seymour created this range of watercolour paints in response to the changes in the paint manufacturing industry. They felt that over the last 10-15 years, the quality and availability of traditional colours in watercolour have decreased.
