Since the launch of our first professional watercolour paints in 1975, we remind ourselves of our founding philosophy to create an ideal harmony between the artist and the material. We believe the inspiration and excitement from seeing a finished artwork should be experienced indefinitely with brilliant, long lasting colours. This is the reason we offer PWC, Extra Fine Watercolour paints, which has the highest degree of lightfastness. Using only the finest pigments from around the world, we produce PWC with 104 colours boasting permanent lightfastness and optimum density per area.

PWC Extra Fine Watercolour is produced using pigments of the highest quality from around the world to ensure superb levels of transparency and lightfastness for each extra fine colour. All 104 colours of this line boast excellent transparency and ensure a perfect colour balance.
Our experts have improved the accuracy of mixing colours through continuous research and testing on pigment density and arrangement for each colour. As a result, our innovations allow users to respond flexibly to colour changes when blending and ensure clarity for beautiful results.
All colours we see are produced by reflected light. The clarity and transparency of perceived colours vary depending on the refractive index of the material in question. For PWC, Extra Fine Watercolour, the pigment density and medium content were optimised by factoring in these refractive light index results. This is how outstanding colour development is achieved with our extra fine paints in virtually any environment.
