Discontinued - Sennelier French Artists' Watercolor Half Pans

Sennelier French Artists' Watercolor Half Pans

There’s something to be said for traditions.

Sennelier has been making watercolors for more than a century, utilizing a production method that continues to not only stand up to time but artists’ ever-changing wants and needs.

This has made the company’s watercolor line a go-to for painters inspired by the great French Impressionists.

But, while the grindstones continue to grind and work out every imperfection, Sennelier has also evolved to incorporate cutting-edge techniques in pigment composition.

Really, with a Sennelier French Artists' Watercolor Half Pan, you get the best of all eras, old and new, equaling a perfect wash free of particles.

The prime elements behind these watercolors are a little honey, Kordofan Gum Arabic as a binding agent, and a lot of patience.

There’s a 24-hour wetting procedure that every pigment goes through, along with multiple runs through the grindstone.

What comes out the other side is a high-quality product with a jaw-dropping variety; why, just look at that dazzling array of colors.

And one look is all it takes to be transfixed by their uncommon depth, a brilliance that’s both subtle and bursting with a spark of life.

No surprise, really: That’s the result when one takes their time and masters their craft. After all, traditions are traditions for a reason: it’s a sign that something was meant to last.
