The best way to expand your watercolour palette and try new colours. Dot cards are also available form Daniel Smith Watercolours.
The 140 HORADAM® AQUARELL colours mix an incredibly wide range of colours and exceed the strictest standards for a high-end watercolour. The collection includes a variety of tried-and-true colours as well as a number of brand-new hues made using unique pigments like perylenes, quinacridones, or transparent iron oxides. The 92 single pigment colours available in such a huge quantity allow for especially spectacular blending outcomes, while the 22 granulating colours offer distinctive effects. Since 2022, the new 40 HORADAM® AQUARELL "supergranulating colours" have been a permanent part of the palette. These watercolours have a unique quality that causes "hyper granulation" when at least two granulating HORADAM® pigments are combined. The colours are formulated with pigments from different colour ranges, resulting in additional colour changes besides the granulation effect. This novel, natural structure formation of the colours varies depending on the paper and the amount of water used. The rougher the paper, the stronger the granulating effect. The supergranulating colours are divided into 8 thematic series of 5 colours each: Deep Sea, Glacier, Galaxy, Forest, Tundra, Volcano, Shire and Desert. The opacity of the colours is predominantly semi-transparent/semi-opaque. By the way: In 2022 Schmincke has been awarded for the fourth time Brand of the Century with the HORADAM® AQUARELL and thus remains in the circle of Germany‘s strongest and best-known brands.
