Water Colour

When we think back to our childhood, painting with watercolours is often one of our first vivid experiences in the world of creativity.

• Dipping the brush into the water glass,

• mixing vibrant hues on the palette

• and bringing new, imaginative worlds to life on paper.

It all starts with the right watercolour set. Our painting products are not just tools; they are companions on the path to artistic development.

Whether for school, university or a hobby at home: a high-quality watercolour set is the foundation of every successful piece of work. Discover how LAMY is setting new standards in this area and why our watercolours are more than just school supplies.

A paintbox must meet many requirements. A LAMY paintbox, available with either 12 or 24 shades, contains brilliant watercolours with high pigmentation. As a result, our watercolours offer coverage that guarantees great results.

Creative painting with watercolours offers unique flexibility. Unlike oil or acrylic paints, watercolours allow you to play with transparency and layering. Using plenty of water creates delicate glazes; with little water and plenty of pigment, you achieve rich, opaque areas.

Here you can see the advantages of our LAMY watercolours at a glance:

• Maximum colour brilliance: Our highly pigmented colours retain their luminosity even after drying.
  
  

• Perfect colour application: with optimal coverage
  
  

• Mixability: The layout of our 13 colour mixing pans in the lid is designed to ensure that colours can be mixed cleanly.
  
  

• Economy and long-lasting use: A good watercolour set is characterised by the fact that the Paint Trays last a long time and can be replaced individually if necessary.
  
  

• Colour wheel: Also includes a removable colour wheel based on Johannes Itten’s theory of colour for playful learning and inspiration
  
  

• Usage: Ideal for school, hobbies and professional design.

At LAMY, we are constantly reimagining writing and drawing tools. A modern watercolour set should not only be functional, but also optimally designed in terms of ergonomics and aesthetics.

Why is the LAMY watercolour set so popular? It’s the details that make the difference:

1. Well-designed lid: The lid also serves as a versatile mixing palette. It is easy to clean and offers plenty of space for your own colour creations, which won’t run into one another.
   
   

2. Perfect accessories for watercolour painting: In addition to the colours themselves, we also stock matching brushes in various thicknesses, as well as Foldable Water Cups and Painting Aprons in many bright colours (with name tags and storage pouches), which are perfectly matched to our watercolours.

• Wet-on-wet: Here, the paper is first moistened with clear water and the colour is then applied. The colours blend gently into one another. Ideal for backgrounds, clouds or watercolour effects.
  
  

• Wet-on-dry: The classic method for details. The colour is applied to dry paper, which allows for sharp and precise shapes.
  
  

• Layering (glazing): Once a layer has dried, another can be applied on top. As watercolours can be transparent, new shades emerge through the layering.

After painting with watercolours, you should briefly rinse the lid and paint pans with clean water or wipe them with a damp cloth. Ideally, let the paint box air-dry briefly before closing it.

A LAMY watercolour set is an investment in the future. We place great importance on durability. Should a colour run out, there is no need to replace the entire watercolour set: individual paint pans can be purchased separately. This is kind to both the environment and your wallet.

The world of colours is waiting to be discovered by you. Whether you’re looking for a creative hobby to relax with after work, or your child is taking their first steps as an artist: the LAMY watercolour set is the perfect choice.

With the LAMY watercolour set, you’re choosing a product that combines design and functionality. Our watercolours offer a depth of colour that makes every picture shine. It’s time to pick up a brush and discover the joy of painting with watercolours.
