L'Aquarelle Sennelier are luminous, brilliant and intense. Artists love them because of their radiance and their spontaneity.

This mix of natural ingredients produces colours which have a smooth, bright texture and offer lively, colourful shades. Always striving for excellence, Sennelier has reworked its aquarell formula with increasing the amount of Honey in the paint to reinforce the longevity of the colours, their radiance and luminosity.

Colours merge together perfectly, in turn bringing out the full beauty of the colours.
