This Rosa Gallery Watercolour Tubes Set is designed for professional artists, illustrators, designers, art students, and hobbyists seeking high-quality, vivid colours for their creative projects. The key benefit is the professional-grade pigments offering excellent lightfastness and blendability for rich, lasting artwork. A potential caveat is that the 10ml tube size, while convenient, may be quickly depleted by heavy users. This set features 12 assorted 10ml tubes of watercolour paint in classic colours, formulated with organic gum arabic and premium pigments for smooth consistency and vibrant results.

Store the tubes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ensure the caps are tightly closed after each use to prevent the paint from drying out.

Each tube contains 10ml of watercolour paint.
Yes, while professional-grade, they are also suitable for art students and hobbyists due to their blendability and smooth consistency, which aids in learning.
Clean your brushes, palette, and any work surfaces with soap and water immediately after use. Watercolours are water-soluble when wet.
'Lightfast' means the colours are resistant to fading when exposed to light over time, ensuring the longevity and brilliance of your artwork.
Absolutely. The smooth consistency and fine pigment grind allow for precise application and fine detail work, making them ideal for illustrators.
Ensure you are using enough clean water on the palette to rehydrate and loosen the paint. Gently stir the paint on the palette with your brush.
This can be due to overworking the paint or using too much water. Try using less water for a more concentrated application or explore glazing techniques for added luminosity. Ensure you are using a good quality watercolour paper.
Gently try to unscrew the cap. If it's very tight, you can try running the cap under warm water for a moment to help loosen it. Avoid forcing it, which could damage the tube.
This is normal for some watercolours. Gently squeeze the tube to mix the pigment and binder before dispensing. If separation is significant, you may need to mix it more thoroughly on your palette.
Setup: To begin using your Rosa Gallery Watercolour Tubes, gently squeeze a small amount of paint onto a clean palette. You can use ceramic, porcelain, or plastic palettes for mixing. Add a small amount of clean water to the paint on the palette to achieve your desired consistency.
Compatibility: These watercolours are compatible with most watercolour papers, brushes (natural or synthetic), masking fluids, and mediums designed for watercolour painting. They can be used in conjunction with other professional-grade watercolours, though slight variations in consistency or drying time may occur.
Care: Always ensure the tube caps are securely closed after use to prevent the paint from drying out. Store the tubes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Clean your palette thoroughly after each painting session to avoid dried paint residue affecting future mixes. If paint does dry on the palette, it can usually be re-wetted with water for further use, though the vibrancy may be slightly diminished compared to fresh paint.
