These artist grade watercolors continue the Blockx family legacy that began in 1865. They are made using the same processes developed many years ago.

Only the finest ingredients go into the manufacture of Blockx watercolors. Rare, tough pigments are ground slowly and repeatedly on stone mills to achieve the optimum particle size, and to eliminate overheating and iron pollution. The pigments are then blended with pure, light gum Arabic, honey made from selected flowers, and chemically pure glycerin and water.

The result is a variety of stable, transparent colors with wonderful working properties.

Not what I expected

Comments about Blockx Artists' Watercolors:

I purchased several colors of Blockx watercolors because my instructor praised them. I have found that they are extremely inconsistent with some colors almost solid and others very runny. The Transparent Mars Yellow seems to be just honey in a tube,(even smalls like floral honey) while the cobalt green was solid to the point of almost impossible to get out of the tube. I will not buy these again, but will stick to Old Holland or Sennilier.

Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

I love the colors I've tried

Comments about Blockx Artists' Watercolors:

These seem to have the highest and richest pigment loads I've yet found in any watercolor brand. I have not tried all of the colors but I can vouch for the pyrrole vermilion,(PO73) the mauve (PV16) and the (PB15) is pretty good too. I would buy them all again, and when I do--I will also try some of the other colors too!
