Pure Pigmentation

Available in 12ml tubes, MaimeriBlu Superior Watercolors cover a glorious spectrum of 90 single-pigment colors. Carefully refined, respecting the very essence of each pigment, you can blend and mix your own vibrant shades without the fear of muddying your palette. Made with completely pure pigments delicately milled for uniform particle size, this finely crafted paint highlights your skills and allows for a limitless amount of layering, glazing and other watercolor techniques.

Authentic Vibrancy

Your artwork won’t just perform with MaimeriBlu, it will come alive. With no additives or fillers to dilute, cloud or dull your color, Maimeri Blu Watercolor was thoughtfully crafted to allow for maximum color penetration, ensuring your creative voice is heard, and your artwork seen. All colors in the range have the highest possible degree of lightfastness, so your work will look fresh for years, and maintain the same vibrancy as the day it was first painted.

Exquisite Transparency

Pure pigments are blended with natural Kordofan gum arabic to create a product with a slight sheen and great adhesion, while glycerin provides flexibility and resistance to cracking or flaking. The crystal-clear nature of the binder ensures the pigments will radiate off the paper, even when highly diluted. Use glazing and wash techniques to produce an immeasurable number of intermediary colors, while allowing the white of the paper to show through and illuminate your work.

Staining Ability

These watercolor paints have a variety of staining levels across the whole color range. Staining refers to the pigment’s ability to remain on the page after water is added, meaning that it can never be completely removed from the surface of the paper. Some colors lift more easily than others, making for unique and varying results every time. Experiment with each color to explore the possibilities.

Granulating Colors

Of the 90 spectacular colors in the MaimeriBlu range of watercolors, 15 pigments have a natural tendency to granulate. This effect is desirable by most watercolor artists to create subtle textures in their work, and we have kept this natural quality for just that reason. If you desire to Increase this effect use a textured paper and a higher water content. These granulating colors are marked with a “G” on the tube.
