OAS's Combo Set: Suggested Color Combinations

4 pages

Maries watercolors are the most popular Chinese brand. The good: it's economical, lots of teachers use them in the classroom and they offer stability in wet-mounting. The bad: it lacks the intensity of Western brands, using the colors straight from the tube without blending with others, the shade can appear to be harsh and the packaging is weak.

Lingchi has developed some color combinations to go with your purchase of OAS's Combination Set.
