Holbein Summer Irodori Gouache Set of 12, 15ml Tubes

The Holbein Irodori Artists' Gouache collection offers traditional gouache colours inspired by the beauty of the four seasons in Japan, and this Summer set captures the bold, vivid 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 summer, from the vibrant Scarlet, Orange Yellow, and Canola Yellow through to the earthy Taisha Brown. Spring Green, Evergreen, and Bamboo Green offer a lush range of foliage tones, while Ultramarine, Oriental Blue, and Edo Violet provide deep, saturated cools reminiscent of summer skies and water. Black and White complete the set, giving artists the tonal control needed for shading, deepening, and opaque highlights. 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 bright, energetic character of summer without mixing from a larger range.
