The bright and exquisite Professional Watercolour paints from A J Ludlow are based on pigments with excellent permanence and light fastness, which ensures that the properties of each watercolour are exceptional. As with all our fine-art materials, our watercolours are lovingly handmade in the UK by a skilled artisan from the best ingredients and finest pigments.
A J Ludlow Professional Watercolours are supplied in jars for several very good reasons....
Exceptionally high pigment loading:
Our professional quality watercolours are supplied in 15ml glass jars because, the watercolour’s wet mass tone can be seen through the walls of the jar and the colour can be easily transferred from the jar to the palette with a palette knife. But more importantly, there is no need for unnecessary additives or formulation changes to make processing in our colour manufacturing workshop easier. Thus, allowing the watercolour made by A J Ludlow, to be at the highest pigment concentration and so, the pigments’ unique properties are uncompromised. Anything less would be at odds with the brilliance and performance demanded of a professional quality watercolour range.
Pigment purity is uncompromised:
Each one of the watercolours has a different consistency; some are fluid, whilst others are structured, but every colour is easily transferred to the watercolour palette. As with all the Professional Watercolours from A J Ludlow, once water is added, they all have excellent flow and are a joy to paint with.
Easy maintenance, so quality is assured:
Most of the pigments used in the A J Ludlow Professional Watercolour range are traditional, of which many are mixed metal oxides. Some pigments are relatively heavy and have a natural tendency to separate slightly on standing in the jar. If this occurs it is not a problem, just stir the watercolour gently in the jar with a clean palette knife until the watercolour is fully homogeneous again.
All our exquisite watercolours are available to purchase on line, via our website or from our HQ in Llanreath, Pembroke Dock.

What makes a watercolour truly "professional"? While everyone has their own definition, we believe artists deserve watercolour paints that actually deliver on their promises.
