Schmincke - Horadam Watercolor Sets
Horadam Watercolor Sets
Premium pigments deliver luminous washes from your first brushstroke
Professional watercolorists recognize the difference between adequate pigments and exceptional ones. Schmincke formulates Horadam Aquarell with modern specialty pigments, perylenes, quinacridones, transparent iron oxides, alongside traditional colors, creating a range that handles both classical techniques and contemporary approaches. These aren't student-grade compromises; they're professional watercolors built to the exacting standards that serious work demands.
Both metal tin sets provide carefully curated palettes. The 12-color set covers essential primaries, earth tones, and mixing fundamentals: lemon yellow through Prussian blue, permanent green olive, and a complete range of earth pigments from yellow ochre to sepia brown. The 18-color set expands this foundation with intermediate hues like chromium orange and manganese violet, specialty blues including helio cerulean, and additional earth pigments such as burnt sienna and Naples yellow. Each selection reflects practical palette-building logic rather than arbitrary color choices.
Schmincke's formulation delivers what watercolor technique requires: clean mixing, reliable rewetting, and pigment intensity that holds through multiple glazes. The metal tins protect your investment during studio work and field painting alike. Whether you're building your first professional palette or replacing a worn working set, these configurations provide the pigment quality that watercolor's transparent nature demands.
