The LUKAS 1862 Watercolour Metal Box 48 Half Pan Set embodies the heritage and excellence of one of the world’s oldest watercolour manufacturers, offering professional artists a comprehensive palette of exceptional quality. This premium set includes forty-eight carefully balanced shades – spanning vibrant primaries, delicate pastels, deep earth tones, and intense darks – providing the ideal foundation for any watercolour technique.

LUKAS Aquarell 1862 watercolours are made using the purest, high-quality pigments of the highest permanence and concentration. Each pigment is ground to an ultra-fine 2 μm particle size to ensure outstanding colour brilliance, superior transparency, and lasting lightfastness. A binder system of the purest gum arabic, enriched with dextrins and glucose derivatives, gives the paint exceptional solubility, smooth flow, and superior dilution capacity. Their permanently moist consistency – achieved through special wetting agents and a gentle, heat-controlled production process – allows colours to lift effortlessly from the pan, protecting brushes and enabling flawless, even washes. Encased in a durable metal box with ample mixing space, this extensive 48-colour set delivers the ultimate in versatility, precision, and expressive potential for professional watercolour artists.
