Description
The East–West Watercolor Set unites the timeless elegance of Asian brush painting with the expressive versatility of Western watercolor. Curated for artists who move effortlessly between cultures and techniques, this collection blends ready-to-use traditional pigments with richly formulated Western hues for a palette that feels both classic and newly alive.
At its heart is Chinese Yellow, prepared in a jar for immediate use—indispensable for flower painting. Complementing it is Sakura White, a concentrated Japanese-style white that stands beautifully on its own for opaque detail or dilutes into soft, mist-like tints when mixed with other colors.
Balancing these Eastern essentials are a suite of Winsor & Newton artist-grade colors chosen specifically for their performance in Chinese brush painting. Winsor Red Deep provides bold, warm strength; Permanent Carmine offers delicate rose tones and flower shades; Perylene Violet brings depth, shadow, and atmosphere; and Indigo completes the set mixing with the Chinese Yellow for your different shades of green.
Together, these colors create a seamless bridge between Eastern tradition and Western technique—inviting you to explore landscapes, florals, and expressive strokes with a palette designed for harmony across worlds.
