Key Takeaways
Verdict: The FUUMUUI × ROCKWELL × BAOHONG watercolor painting set brings together three professional brands around three essentials of watercolor painting: color, expression, and surface.
- Three Brands, One Set: ROCKWELL, FUUMUUI, and BAOHONG bring together their expertise in pigments, professional watercolor brushes, and 100% cotton watercolor paper.
- Focused Palette: Three ROCKWELL paints in red, yellow, and blue provide a simple foundation for mixing and creating a wide range of colors.
- Four Professional Brushes: The set includes four FUUMUUI brushes—one pure squirrel hair brush and three Kolinsky sable brushes—covering washes, transitions, lines, and fine details.

When color, brushwork, and surface align, watercolor painting becomes more than a technique—it becomes a conversation.
ROCKWELL × FUUMUUI × BAOHONG brings together three specialist brands, each contributing a different part of the painting process: ROCKWELL brings color, FUUMUUI brings expression through the brush, and BAOHONG provides the surface where the two meet.
Together, we bring you a new watercolor painting set built around three simple ideas: Color, Expression, and Surface.
Three Brands, One Creative Experience
At the heart of this collaboration are three essential elements of watercolor painting: color, expression, and surface. Each brand brings its own expertise to the mix, creating a natural dialogue between the artist and the materials.
- ROCKWELL — Color: Specializing in mineral-inspired watercolor pigments, ROCKWELL brings distinctive colors and natural granulation to the palette, giving artists more texture and variation to work with.
- FUUMUUI — Expression: Dedicated to professional watercolor brushes, FUUMUUI combines responsive natural hair with different brush shapes to give artists greater control and a wider range of expression.
- BAOHONG — Surface: With its 100% cotton watercolor paper, BAOHONG provides a dependable surface for controlled washes, natural color development, and expressive brushwork.
Together, these three elements form the core of the collaboration—color to begin with, a brush to shape it, and a surface to bring it to life.
Meet the FUUMUUI × ROCKWELL × BAOHONG Watercolor Set
That core idea comes to life in the FUUMUUI × ROCKWELL × BAOHONG Watercolor Set. Rather than bringing together a large collection of unrelated materials, this curated set keeps every component purposeful, with the three brands seamlessly covering the essential stages of a watercolor painting.
FUUMUUI Brushes
- 4 Professional Watercolor Brushes: 1 pure squirrel hair brush and 3 Kolinsky sable brushes cover a range of painting needs.
- Different Brush Responses: The squirrel hair brush is suited to softer washes and transitions, while the Kolinsky sable brushes offer greater responsiveness and point control.
- Versatile Use: The four brushes support everything from broader washes and color transitions to fine lines and details.
ROCKWELL Paints
- 3 × 15ml Tube Watercolors: Red, yellow, and blue provide a focused starting palette for mixing colors and creating a wide range of hues.
- Masking Tape: Included for creating clean edges, reserving areas of the paper, or adding structure to a composition.
BAOHONG Watercolor Paper
- 100% Cotton Watercolor Paper: Made from pure cotton for a dependable painting surface.
- 300gsm Weight: Provides a stable surface for working with water and pigment.
- Suitable for Layering: Supports washes, blending, and layering while allowing color and brushwork to develop naturally.
FUUMUUI Professional Watercolor Brushes: Why These Four?
The four FUUMUUI professional watercolor brushes are where the set becomes especially versatile.
Rather than selecting four brushes simply by size, FUUMUUI combines pure squirrel hair and Kolinsky sable to give artists noticeably different brush responses. One offers a softer, more expansive response, while the others provide greater control across different painting sizes and levels of detail.
#14 Pure Squirrel Hair Brush
The #14 pure squirrel hair brush has a soft, flexible character. When pressure is applied, the belly opens naturally and spreads across the paper, creating broad marks with gentle edges.
This makes it particularly useful for:
- Soft washes and atmospheric areas
- Gentle color transitions
- Blurred or softened edges
- Expressive brushwork
Despite its softness, the brush has strong point-forming ability. When fully wet, the hairs gather into a fine point, allowing it to move from broad passages into smaller marks without losing its characteristic softness.
#10, #8 & #4 Kolinsky Sable Brushes
The #10, #8, and #4 Kolinsky sable brushes offer a balance of water capacity and point control. Their sizes allow artists to move comfortably between broader areas and finer work.
- #10 — broader washes, shapes, and larger transitions
- #8 — versatile painting and medium-sized details
- #4 — fine lines, contours, and precise details
The #4 Kolinsky sable brush is particularly distinctive. Its elongated point can pull thin, even lines over a longer distance, making it useful for hair, leaf veins, architectural lines, fine contours, and small highlights.
Across the four brushes, FUUMUUI pays close attention to natural hair selection and hand shaping, with each brush refined to suit its intended use.
Color × Expression × Surface: The Idea Behind the Collaboration
A watercolor painting is shaped by more than the pigment alone. Water, brush, paper, and pressure all influence what happens on the page.
That is what brings these three brands together.
ROCKWELL provides the starting point for color. FUUMUUI gives the artist a way to move that color across the paper. BAOHONG provides the surface where those choices become visible.
Color × Expression × Surface is simply another way of looking at that relationship: color gives you somewhere to begin, the brush gives you ways to respond, and paper gives the painting room to develop.
