Yet another brand of watercolour paint arrives and in some ways an astonishing one. What do I mean? To start with the paints are plant-based giving a result - "that cannot be created with synthetic colours"..... " with good to very good lightfastness".
The most astonishing thing are the prices. Lutea comes in 9ml tubes and the twelve - "unique colours" - range in price from £13.50p to £18.00 and these are discounted prices! Even more expensive then QoR.
Jacksons give a full description and there are two PDF's that can be downloaded that give a full list of plants used as well as one on the making of them.
Lutea are a Belgian company and say the paints must be kept at room temperature.
Frankly I wouldn't pay such prices however good they are claimed to be. Who will buy them? If you are interested go to Jacksonsart website, put Lutea watercolours in the search box and read the full story.
