Information from their website: “Our range of watercolors has been created to get the most out of the attraction of working with transparent watercolors, namely bright colors and a glossy transparency. The most distinctive feature of these watercolors is that they are environmentally friendly, using organic pigments with superior light resistance in place of other pigments such as cadmium and cobalt.”
