The LUKAS 1862 Watercolour Metal Box 15 Half Pan Set combines traditional craftsmanship with modern precision to deliver a premium painting experience for professional and passionate watercolour artists alike. Containing fifteen finely balanced shades – including Opaque White, bright primaries, rich earth tones, and deep neutrals – this compact set offers versatility for both expressive colour work and refined detail.

LUKAS Aquarell 1862 watercolours are formulated using the purest, high-quality pigments of exceptional permanence and concentration. Each pigment is ground to an ultra-fine 2 μm (2/1000 mm), ensuring remarkable colour clarity, transparency, and brilliance. The paints’ unique binder composition – a blend of pure gum arabic, carefully selected dextrins, and glucose derivatives – provides outstanding coverage, fluid control, and smooth dilution. Their permanently moist consistency, achieved through specialised wetting agents and a gentle, low-heat production process, allows easy lifting from the pan and effortless reactivation without damaging brushes. Perfectly housed in a durable metal box, this set is ideal for studio use or plein air painting, representing the excellence and reliability of over 160 years of LUKAS watercolour innovation.
