What's the Difference Between Artist-Grade and Student-Grade Watercolor Paints?

Artist-grade watercolor paints contain higher concentrations of finely milled pigments, delivering richer color, greater transparency, superior lightfastness, and cleaner color mixing. Student-grade watercolor paints are typically more affordable and contain lower pigment concentrations with additional fillers, making them an excellent choice for beginners, students, classrooms, and everyday practice. At Jerry's Artarama, we believe every artist should have access to premium materials, which is why we offer professional artist-grade watercolor paints at prices that make it easy to paint with better-quality colors.

Should I Buy Watercolor Tubes or Pans?

Watercolor tubes are ideal for studio painting, larger washes, and mixing generous amounts of color. Watercolor pans are portable, easy to use for travel and plein air painting, and activate quickly with water. Many artists keep both on hand, using tubes in the studio and pans when painting on location. Want to learn which format is best for your painting style? Read our expert guide, Watercolor Tubes or Pans? The Pros and Cons.
