As with all other Schmincke sets, the colors have been chosen perfectly, so you'll start painting beautiful motifs associated with hot, colorful summer without color mixing effort.

The Horadam Aquarell series of Schmincke watercolors in half pans are some of the best watercolor paints on the market in the largest range of colors available.

Horadam watercolors have been produced in Germany since 1881. Today, the Horadam line offers 139 luminous, highly pigmented shades and 40 supergranulating shades. As many as 152 of 179 colors are characterized by the highest possible lightfastness (4 out of 5 stars). A large number of 92 single-pigment shades allow amazing results of color mixing, and 22 granulating shades provide exceptional color effects (marked with "G" in the color chart).

Horadam Aquarell watercolor paints are tested to the highest quality standards for stability, fineness, solubility, durability and lightfastness. The perfectly selected formulation, the use of pigments and binders of the highest quality standards have resulted in amazing durability and performance of watercolors.

These paints have the ability to reactivate. You can easily moisten and pick up Horadam paints from the palette and paint with it again without effort or excessive water. Moreover, they guarantee a controlled gradient of colors - even on soft watercolor paper. The key ingredient in Horadam watercolors is the gum Arabic Kordofan obtained from Acacia Verek trees.
