Hello, you can check the notes on the pigments to see if they are mineral based or plant based colours. 🙂 Natural pigments functions well on Xuan papers. If they are industrial pigments, I would suggest you to try watercolors specially made for Chinese painting/ Sumi E. For example, Marie’s Chinese paints, Japanese Sakura Chinese paints, Jiang SiXu Tang’s paints are typical paints for Chinese painting/ sumi e. And some of the colours can function well on Xuan paper too but you need to test them one by one. I once tried watercolour from Holbein and found the colours ‘run away’ when the paper gets wet. #MountingChinesePainting
