How to choose watercolour paint

Choose watercolour by format and grade: pans are compact and suit sketching outdoors, while tubes give strong colour for larger washes. Artist-grade watercolours use more pigment and fewer fillers, giving brighter, more transparent colour.

• Half pans suit portable palettes; whole pans suit larger brushes.
• Single-pigment colours mix cleaner than convenience mixes.
• Granulating colours give texture; non-granulating colours give smooth washes.
• Pair your paints with 100% cotton or heavy watercolour paper for better results.
