{"product_id":"schmincke-watercolor-dot-cards","title":"Watercolor Dot Cards","description":"\u003cp\u003eSchmincke provides actual paint samples, not printed swatches, of all 140 colors in their HORADAM Aquarell line. Each dot card contains genuine watercolor that reactivates with water, letting you test transparency, granulation, and mixing behavior before committing to full tubes. This matters because printed color charts can't show you how cadmium yellow actually handles compared to nickel azo, or how quinacridone magenta granulates in washes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe dots contain enough pigment for multiple test swatches. Wet your brush, activate a color, and paint it out to see real working properties: staining power, lift-off capability, how it behaves in glazes. HORADAM formulations use single-pigment colors wherever possible and pure gum arabic binder, giving you the same lightfastness and resolubility you'll get in full pans or tubes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis system transforms palette building from guesswork into informed decisions. Test colors against your actual paper, mix potential combinations, identify which earth tones or blues suit your work. German manufacturing ensures consistency between these samples and the paints you'll eventually purchase.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Schmincke","offers":[{"title":"140 dot card","offer_id":47974362874085,"sku":"90083","price":30.62,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0726\/6890\/5701\/files\/s90083.jpg?v=1770307080","url":"https:\/\/www.texasart.com\/products\/schmincke-watercolor-dot-cards","provider":"Texas Art Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
