Stockmar opaque watercolour paint is highly versatile: from opaque painting with rich colour planes to precise work with a fine paintbrush, from glazing with several layers of colour, through to delicate watercolour painting.

The artistically shaped box and classic metal design, contains 12 colour tabs. Each paint colour can easily be taken out for quick replacements. The Stockmar mixing palette is not attached to the box, so you can put it down wherever is most convenient for your work - and of course it will be easier to clean than a painting box lid that is being used as a palette.

The Stockmar colours are delicately balanced with one another and when mixed will yield harmonious shades of colours. Like all the products in the Stockmar range, the Opaque colours have a unique luminosity. This is due to the intensity and high concentration of colour pigments in our Opaque colours. As a result, the colours are richer and remain powerful even when heavily diluted.

Opaque paints differ from non-opaque watercolours. Opaque, meaning 'dark' and 'not transparent', by its nature, does not let any light pass through. A paint that is opaque gives a solid colour. Generally black and white paint are always opaque and any colour mixed with them will become more opaque. Adding the STOCKMAR Opaque White to the opaque colours will increase the opaqueness of the colours.

In addition, your Stockmar box of Opaque colours contains a tube of Opaque white and a top quality Cat's Tongue Brush that holds its shape, made of Ponex synthetic hair and produced for Stockmar by the tradition-conscious German brush manufacturer Zahn.
