8 New Opus Essential Watercolours Inspired By Nature
August 19, 2021
If you love colour, Opus has brought out a range of 8 new colours which will spur inspiration into your art creation and sensibilities. Each colour has been chosen to bring hues inspired from nature and the natural world to bring intense vibrancy or subtle nuances into your work. From capturing morning sunlight leaves in a garden to muted shadows in a shaded forest, we have new colours to help you with this journey.
Crafted by an Artisan making small limited batches, each paint is formulated to yield the highest pigment load to produce brilliant effects. Like our full line of watercolours, these paints are extremely lightfast and long lasting. Mixed with other colours from our watercolour line, you will create new colours to integrate in your growing palette. Like our entire line of Opus Essential watercolours, these 8 new colours are developed to allow them to be squeezed directly into pans without the fear of them shrinking or cracking which makes them indispensable for outdoor enthusiast traveling light.
