Containing twelve carefully selected shades – Lemon Yellow (Primary), Cadmium Yellow Light, Yellow Ochre, Cadmium Red Light, Magenta (Primary), Cyan (Primary), Ultramarine Light, Oxide of Chromium, Phthalo Green, English Red Light, Raw Umber, and Payne’s Grey – this set provides a versatile and balanced palette for expressive colour mixing and subtle tonal work.

LUKAS Aquarell 1862 watercolours are formulated using only the purest, high-quality pigments of the highest permanence and concentration, ensuring brilliant colour strength, superior transparency, and long-lasting lightfastness. Approximately 99% of each pigment is finely ground to 2 μm, resulting in exceptional clarity and luminosity. The paints use a binder system of the purest gum arabic combined with selected dextrins and glucose derivatives, which provides excellent control and smooth, even washes. Thanks to their permanently moist consistency, the colours lift effortlessly from the pan without scrubbing, protecting brushes and maintaining the integrity of delicate washes. This set’s elegant metal box offers durability and convenience for use both in the studio and outdoors, embodying over 160 years of LUKAS heritage and innovation in watercolour production.
