Lukas watercolours

Lukas it a German company founded in 1862. They make watercolours in half and full pans and large 24ml tubes. They also make some different sets. Paint information is difficult to find so even though I have only tried a little over half of this range, I've decided to post them up. The colour chart and information leaflet is from Jerry's Website and shows 70 colours and no longer includes the lovely Manganese blue.

Lukas Watercolours - Chinese White (not shown), Opaque White (not shown), Lemon Yellow (Primary), Aureolin Hue, Cadmium Yellow Lemon.

Lukas Watercolours - Cadmium Yellow Light (not shown), Permanent Yellow Light,  Gamboge, Indian Yellow (not shown), Naples Yellow (not shown).

Lukas Watercolours - Yellow Ochre Light, Permanent Yellow Deep, Cadmium Orange (not shown), Permanent Orange (not shown), Cadmium Red Light.

 I like PR255 as a warm red so would be interesting in trying the Cinnabar Red. Madder Lake Deep is made from another favourite crimson pigment - PR264.

Lukas Watercolours - Cinnabar Red (not shown), Permanent Red, Cadmium Red Deep, Lukas Red (not shown), Madder Lake Deep (not shown).

 It is a shame they use PR176 in many of their hues - it drops the lightfast rating in every colour it is added to.

Lukas Watercolours - Carmine Red (not shown),  Alizarin Crimson (not shown), Genuine Rose, Magenta (Primary), ruby Red (not shown).

 I am guessing that Purple would look like Quinacridone Violet in many ranges. Dioxazine Violet is very similar across brands - a powerful mid purple.

Lukas Watercolours - Purple (not shown), Dioxazine Violet (not shown), Cobalt Violet, Indanthrone Blue, Ultramarine Blue.

Lukas Watercolours - Ultrmarine Blue lIght, Cobalt Blue, Paris Blue (not shown), Prussian Blue (not shown), Cerulean Blue.

Lukas Watercolours - Phthalo Blue, Permanent Blue, Cyan (Primary), Prussian Green (not shown), Manganese Blue (discontinued).

Lukas Watercolours - Turquoise, Cobalt Turquoise, Indigo, Green Yellow, May Green (not shown).

Lukas Watercolours - Cinnabar Green Light (not shown), Sap Green, Permanent Green Yellowish (not shown), Permanent Green, Cobalt Green (not shown).

Lukas Watercolours - Phthalo Green, Viridian (not shown), Verona Green Earth, Oxide of Chromium, Olive Green.

Lukas Watercolours - Raw Sienna, Gold Ochre (not shown), Naples Yellow Reddish, Burnt Sienna, English Red Light.

Lukas Watercolours - English Red Deep (not shown), Caput Mortuum Deep (not shown), Burnt Green Earth, Burnt Umber (not shown), Van Dyck Brown (not shown).

Lukas Watercolours - Raw Umber, Sepia (not shown), Ivory Black (not shown), Payne's Grey (not shown), Neutral Tint (not shown), Gold (not shown).

There are many more to add of course, which I will do as I come across them. I have read that Lukas is a very affordable watercolour range available in Germany and from Jerry's in the US. Happy painting!
