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.

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.
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
