Ingredient Selection More than with any other type of paint, watercolor ingredients must be of the finest quality. The purest and lightest gum arabic, chemically pure glycerin, honey made from particular flowers and chemically pure water must be used to achieve the best result. Any filler must be prohibited and an exact dosage of each ingredient must be used. To achieve transparency and working abilities the strongest pigments must be selected. Grinding Also more than in any other techniques, the quality of the grinding is very important. Our pigments are ground slowly to avoid harmful overheating and on stone mills to avoid iron pollution. They are milled several times to achieve the right particle size and to guarantee the working abilities professionals demand. To quote Salvador Dali, writing about Jacques Blockx the founder in ''50 Secrets of Craftsmanship'': ''This man will contribute more to the painters of tomorrow than what we will have accomplished, all the modern painters together''.
