Specialist Crafts Fan Dye-Based Watercolour Sets

Specialist Crafts Fan Dye-Based Watercolours offer bright, intense colour in a compact, fan-shaped palette. Designed for traditional watercolour painting and experimental techniques, these dye-based paints are particularly useful for exploring colour, washes and creative mark-making.

Unlike conventional watercolour palettes, the fan-shaped tablets open out for easy access to individual colours. The set of 24 features a single layer of paint tablets, while the set of 48 has a double-stacked arrangement, providing a wider selection of colours in the same convenient fan format.

The dye-based formulation is also suitable for experimental bleach techniques, allowing students to investigate colour removal and develop contrasting marks and patterns. This makes the paints useful for both conventional painting exercises and more exploratory sketchbook work.

Available in sets of 24 or 48 colours, each supplied with a size 2 paintbrush.
