Hello there, I am delighted to be joining Artistry by Altenew today to celebrate the release of new watercolor tubes and paper. In case you did not know, Artistry by Altenew is the sister company to Altenew. They sell Altenew colouring mediums and tools.

Whilst these products are marketed towards fine art artists, I am predominantly a card maker (although I do dabble in fine art from time to time), so I made a card today.
ARTISTRY BY ALTENEW WATERCOLOR TUBES
Artistry by Altenew have released 10 colours of watercolour tubes. These colours are labelled with the true pigment names (and numbers) and apart from a couple of colours, have excellent lightfast ratings. You can purchase them in various bundles, including the
Palette Perfection Bundle (which is all the colours) or separately.
Whilst I am unable to give a proper review on these paints (since I haven't had them long enough to really test them out) I did want to share my first thoughts on them. These are marketed towards fine art artists, however personally, I think they are more suited to crafters. They have excellent transparency (apart from Titanium White which is opaque) which is perfect if you are colouring stamped images.
The colour selection is a little lacking in my opinion (and pretty vibrant/bright) but they are planning on releasing more colours in the future and they do mix well together, so you can create new colours fairly easily.
The new products are currently exclusive to the Artistry by Altenew site at the moment, but I believe that will release on the Altenew site at some point.
