We are so excited to share this announcement from NYT best-selling illustrator ! The Rebecca Green Holbein Acrylic Gouache set of 12 exclusive colors is here again! Read on!

“It’s BACK! 🎉

So happy to share that my 12 Color Set of Acrylic Gouache is making its way to art supply shelves once again. This collaboration previously sold out twice but will now be available as a regular set!

The Box Set is the same lovely one, save a couple logo refreshes and the cutest little tops. The collection includes Vermillion, Coral Red, Mustard, Emerald Green, Sap Green, Pale Aqua, Smalt Blue, Ash Yellow, Ash Blue, Burnt Sienna, Sepia, and Gold. I suggest adding a Primary or Super Opaque White to make the range really versatile.

This set would be great if you are trying Acrylic Gouache for the first time, if you have a set of primaries you’re looking to expand…or, if you’re a seasoned painter with plenty of colors!

Check with your local art supply store to find a set near you, or contact Holbein to inquire about ordering. I’ll link to some resources in my stories as well!

Super grateful to for asking me to curate a collection and have my work celebrated on the box set. It’s such an honor.”

🎨Holbein color chemists began working on a new line of oil color in 2003. The project took 10 years to complete. The stated objective was to develop a new line of oil color by combining modern technology with the finest pigments available. The result is Vernét.
The Vernét line offers 40 traditional colors utilizing pure single pigments and the finest quality refined linseed oil. Vernét colors offer oil painters superior adhesion, tinting strength, durability, smooth texture and excellent lightfast ratings with high chroma, transparency and pigment density. Vernét colors will produce clean, non-muddy results when mixed.
Strong, beautiful and stable colors make the Vernét line the “Dream Palette” of the great masters. Vernét offers the modern oil painter the most advanced and highest quality oil color range ever produced.

Holbein Artists Watercolor Set of 60. 🎉 Much of the incomparable, world-wide reputation that Holbein enjoys is due to the exceptional quality of their Artist Watercolor. Originally introduced in the early 1920’s and now available in 108 highly concentrated colors, Holbein Artist Watercolor is a European style transparent watercolor which preserves the brush handling qualities inherent in Japanese watercolor techniques.

More finely ground than any other artist watercolor, Holbein Artist Watercolor is produced without ox-gall, an animal by-product. This affords the user greater control in the dispersal of their pigments, enhances handling qualities and delivers color of unequaled intensity, purity and reliability for brilliant transparent washes and/or powerful, clean darks.

Holbein Artist Watercolor is available in two formats, in tubes (5 ml and 15 ml) or in a limited range of half pans. Holbein Artist Watercolor is specifically designed to rewet instantly and not deteriorate in the tube, pan or palette.

Holbein Artist Watercolor is the standard by which all others are measured against.
