The tube is the go-to format for studio watercolour work: it allows for depositing a precise amount of colour on the palette, working with generous mixes and easily recharging the pans of a set. Unlike pans, tubes are particularly suited to large formats and washes that require a lot of diluted pigment. The selection covers several quality levels: student ranges offer good colour coverage at an accessible entry point, while professional ranges use pure pigments at higher concentration, resulting in superior transparency, luminosity and lightfastness. Available sizes vary by range, from small tubes for colours used occasionally to larger sizes for the base colours used most regularly.
