Opus Essential Watercolours
Select from 60 coloursRich colour, extraordinary value.
Opus Essential Watercolours offer intense permanent pigments that have the highest tinting strength and pigment concentration available, at an outstanding value.
Formulated to meet professional quality standards, our watercolours are made in small batches in North America and feature high concentrations of permanent, intense, and reliable colour. Lightfast and finely-milled pigments allow you to paint with confidence, knowing you'll achieve the vibrancy and permanence with every stroke.
Mixed in a base of natural gum arabic, these paints offer a wonderfully soft and creamy texture with smooth and easy dispersion in water. Use them at full strength, or thin with water, gum arabic, or other watercolour mediums without the addition of ox gall.
These watercolours are perfect both for painting in the studio and out on plein air adventures. They move across the page beautifully with a brush and make a welcome addition to your palette, mixing beautifully with other brands of watercolour.
We invite you to compare the performance of your preferred brand with Opus Essential Watercolours. Experience their outstanding pigment load, professional performance, and excellent price per millilitre. Make Opus Essential Watercolours your watercolour of choice!

Customer Reviews
It’s my “to-go-to” brand of watercolours. It’s priced right, they last forever and the pigments are in perfect concentration. I like the choice of sizes too.
Good colour but I prefer Daniel Smith paints. You did didn’t have phthalate green by Daniel Smith.
Much better than student grade but affordable for a beginner like myself.
I got a selection of five colors, and they are all excellent paints. Very well priced, and the paints are very bright and vibrant-- a pleasure to work with.
Was replacing some of my Winsor Newton's, very pleased with the results with Opus watercolors!
Ps Staff always polite & more than helpful over here in Victoria.
