ABOUT THE PRODUCT
Opus Essential Watercolours
Rich 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!

Very rich colour. Wonderful to paint with.
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.
Crocus is a lovely colour. I like the option of the 8ml size.
Vibrant color
I love the Opus Essential Watercolors because of the smooth texture when you squeeze some from the tube. I’ve used the Nickel Azo Yellow that is really quite lovely and very interesting how the yellow changes with the amount of water one uses. For sure I recommend it.
Ethereal is a beautiful colour! granulates very easily, a cool grey with red in it, it's stunning! so glad i opted to get this instead of a simple payne's grey
I like this color, but the dispersion wasn't my favorite
Looks so good with metallic gold or silver accents
.
Nice color-- great for some sky and/or water scenes.
Color rewets well, and all Opus watercolors have nice pigment concentration.
A pleasure to use, and at a very good price.
Very,very, useful
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.
The opus brand water colours are always beautiful quality with a fair price.
These are great watercolors. They are professional grade. Every bit as good as the more recognized namebrand watercolors. Highly recommend.
They work well
Colors are great - good coverage!
These are my goto pigments, even over the other big brands. Wet very well in pans. I'd recommend these pigments to anyone.
Good paint quality in the coloured tubes

I am pleased with the vibrancy and colour payoff. It's a joy to paint with these watercolours. Ethereal is an especially marvellous option. I will be purchasing more in the future.
