The Holbein Irodori Artists' Gouache collection offers traditional gouache colours inspired by the beauty of the four seasons in Japan, and this Spring set captures the soft, fresh tones of the season. As with their watercolours, Holbein have produced a gouache of exceptional quality, grinding their pigments more finely than others and adding little or no opaquing agents to their colour. The pigments used have been chosen for exceptional saturation and the ability to mix freely without loss of brilliance, opacity, or hue values. The colours will give consistent results without darkening or muddiness, and will not bleed or crack, offering complete opacity when layered. This extra fine pigment gives artists a smooth, opaque matt finish well suited to traditional and contemporary Japanese-style painting alike.

This set of 12 x 15ml tubes brings together colours evocative of spring, from the warm Vermilion, Pale Coral, and Kerria Japonica Yellow through to the fresh Lemon and Light Ochre. Pale Patina and Seedling offer soft, new-growth greens, while Myosotis Blue, Dayflower Blue, and Bellflower provide a gentle range of spring blues and violets. Silver and Antique Silver round out the set, adding a subtle metallic quality for highlights and decorative touches. The gouache is also easily rewettable, allowing dried paint to be reactivated with water for continued use. This curated seasonal palette makes it easy to capture the delicate, blooming character of spring without mixing from a larger range.
