A J Ludlow is a fine-art material brand that is a fusion of art and science, grounding itself in tradition, but mixing-in modern to create fine-art materials of unprecedented quality and technical excellence. The brand is the inspiration and creation of Dr Andrew Ludlow, an artist and chemist, whose dream was to produce a superior watercolour, with an intensity and brilliance of colour that artists would love using. Andrew’s flagship product is a high-quality professional range of watercolours offering a wide and balanced spectrum of 48 highly pigmented colours chosen for their unique hues and excellent permanence and high light fastness. Each colour has been specially formulated to offer the greatest flexibility to the artist. They are all based on single pigments and because they contain only pure pigment, the colours’ brightness, hue and transparency are uncompromised. Each watercolour is manufactured in England with the best ingredients and finest pigments. The company ethos is to follow in the footsteps of the traditional Artists’ Colourmen, continuing the tradition of English colourmen of outstanding reputation and skill that dates back several centuries.
