Federal Color Tonic Watercolors
- Intensely pigmented and free-flowing, Tonic Watercolor is handcrafted in St. Louis using a unique formula developed over two years.
- Offers bold, saturated color with just a few drops of water, and becomes translucent when more water is added.
- Packaged in a large, reusable porcelain pan (20g — about 7x the size of a standard half pan) for exceptional value.
- Made with premium gum arabic for clarity, flexibility, and smooth handling.
- Uses lightfast, modern pigments (Blue Wool Scale 7–8) for long-lasting artwork.
- Triple-milled for ultra-smooth, consistent dispersion — no clumps or uneven pigment.
- Vegan-friendly — no animal products; uses modern surfactants instead of ox gall.
