In Conversation with Michael Harding About His Professional Watercolours

artforummyid

Michael Harding has been producing oil paint since 1982, and now his long-held dream of making a high quality watercolour range has finally been realised. 
With a vision to develop colours of the highest intensity and integrity, and with as many pure single pigment colours as possible, Michael Harding has introduced a range of over 135 Professional Watercolour Paints. 

We invited him to join us in the Jackson’s studio to share his twenty-year journey in realising this new exciting collection, and in this ‘In Conversation’ film he discusses how he carefully developed the range, his love of colour and his plans for the future.
