Art Spectrum® Australian Turquoise is a beautiful cool blue, reminiscent of the shallow waters of Australian beaches. For thousands of years, cultures around the world have prized turquoise for its unique and beautiful colour.

Turquoise, which goes back to the 16th century, is Old French for “Turkish”, mainly because Turkey was an import source of the stone after being mined in Persia. Today, the pigment is produced from a light green oxide. In accordance with proven traditional methods of production, all Art Spectrum® Artists’ Watercolours are carefully stone milled to enhance the individual brilliance of each selected permanent pigment and to maximise its handling qualities. Successful watercolours depend on selecting the best quality paper, the permanence and brilliance of the pigments and the use of a wide variety of quality brushes.

Available in 10ml tubes. Series 1-4.

We do not recommend using Art Spectrum® Artists’ Watercolours as pans.
