Information from their website:
“Rublev Colours watercolor are made with the same pigments used by watercolor maters of the 17th to 19th centuries. The colors are genuine single pigment paints available individually in tubes and cakes. We make Rublev Colors watercolors in small batches using gum arabic and sugar syrup, which were the basic ingredients in watercolors of past centuries. There are no other additives to alter the characteristics of each color. Rublev Volours watercolors do not contain fillers to extend colors, dispersant to disperse and granulate pigments, and brighteners to intensify colors. Rather, each color is crafted to develop its unique character, so they bahve much the same as the colors of past masters.”
