The Rembrandt brand is renowned for producing some of the finest artist materials. Their paint products really are some of the best available in today’s market. Those in the know identify the Rembrandt brand with paints offering the highest degree of lightfastness, very pure and intense colours, perfectly thinnable paints, the maximum degree of transparency along with the finest pigments.

We’ve recently been fortunate enough to discover the Rembrant Master Watercolour Box, which contains 42 Rembrandt half pans and an assortment of watercolour painting accessories. These accessories include Talens liquid mask film, Talens watercolour matte varnish, four brushes including a Series 110 no. 4 and 12 made from pure red sable hair, as well as Series 132 no. 6 and series 136 no. 4 made from petit gris pur squirrel, a porcelain mixing tray, three 2B sketch pencils, a kneadable eraser, a brush mat, a sponge which is complete with a metal water bottle.

We were astonished by the quality of the Rembrandt paints, which have such an amazing consistency, the colours truly do seem to pop out of the canvas. This is clearly due to the high quality pigment and quantity of pigment that Rembrandt use in each colour, which is readily evident in every paint stroke.

"It contained exactly what we needed in order to create some wonderful pieces of art that honestly wouldn’t have been achievable without the quality of the Rembrandt paints.”
