Nicker Poster Colour Paints

Nikker Poster Colour Paints are versatile paints that can be used as both opaque and transparent watercolors. The binder for these paints is pure gum arabic which creates an exceptionally smooth layer of paint. Similar to gouache, this dense pigment ink can be thinned for use with pointed pens, broad pens, brushes, and waterbrushes for gorgeous calligraphy, painting, lettering, and design work.

Made in Japan, where Nicker is revered as a heritage manufacturer that refuses to compromise on ingredient quality. Known passionately in the anime industry, Nicker's ability to be re-wetted and manipulated like watercolor make it indispensable for background art, which requires blending soft sky gradients with razor-sharp architectural edges.

Artwork shown is by animation art director Yoichi Watanabe.
