About this colour

White is a pure, brilliant titanium white - the essential opaque colour that extends the possibilities of any watercolour palette far beyond what transparent pigments alone can achieve. Formulated with Titanium Dioxide (PW6), it delivers the highest degree of opacity and tinting strength available in any white pigment.

In traditional watercolour painting the white of the paper provides the lights, but there are many situations where a tube white is invaluable: adding highlights over dry washes, mixing soft opaque pastels with any other colour in the range, suggesting the chalky lightness of clouds against a blue sky, or painting the fine bright details of flowers and foliage. Verdant White handles all of these with consistent reliability.

The colour that makes every other colour twice as useful. Whether you are mixing pastels, suggesting snow, adding fine highlights, or creating the soft, luminous tones of early morning mist, White is the essential supporting colour for any serious watercolour palette.

Product features

Highly pigmented & vibrant

Each 15 ml tube delivers exceptional colour intensity - vivid at full strength and at the same time luminous and clear when diluted.                  

Endless colour possibilities

Intermixes seamlessly across the entire range of colours for limitless soft, luminous and pastel combinations, lending a clean, brightening lift and airy lightness to every mix.

Opaque character

Among the most essential opaques in watercolour - lay down crisp, clean highlights and bright tonal corrections directly over deep, saturated washes with complete confidence, its dense, velvety coverage reclaiming light where it has been lost, restoring brilliance to shadows, and opening up endless possibilities for reworking, refining and illuminating a composition with precision and ease

Non-toxic formula

Made with non-toxic additives and safe for all ages and working environments.

Artist grade quality

Professional-grade transparency and vibrancy, perfect for professional artists and beginners exploring the medium.                  

Creamy, soft consistency

Higher glycerine binder than pans and therefore have buttery soft texture that disperses effortlessly in water.

Supreme lightfastness

Highly lightfast pigments rated Excellent which means your artwork stays brilliant for decades.

Perfect for large areas

A tiny squeeze goes a long way. Ideal for smooth, even washes across large sections of a painting.

Why choose tubes?

Watercolour tubes contain more glycerine binder than pans, giving the paint a soft, creamy texture that mixes instantly with water. A small amount from the tube goes a very long way - making tubes ideal for large washes and expressive, generous brushwork.

Leave it to dry - reactivate anytime

Squeeze out what you need and leave the rest on your palette. When the paint dries, simply mist with a little water and it reactivates fully - as workable as when it was first squeezed. No cleaning needed between sessions, and nothing is ever wasted.

Refill your pans

Use tubes to top up empty half- or full-pans in your travel or studio palette. Squeeze into the pan, let the paint cure for a few days, and you have freshly loaded pans ready for use - far more economical than buying replacement pans.

Beautiful pastels with White

White is the key - mix it with any colour in the range to produce soft, luminous tints of extraordinary delicacy. From the palest lavender to the faintest peach blush, the possibilities are limited only by your imagination. A must-have for portrait work, florals, and any painting where gentle, light-filled tones are the foundation of the composition.
