The colours are rich, pure, and have been designed to mirror the natural tones from nature’s palette. These watercolours are handmade by first mixing pigments with mediums and dispersants. The concentration of the pure pigment means a little colour goes a long way and there is very little colour shift from wet to dry. The colours have been formulated for superior lightfastness to better preserve the intensity of your painting. All Mission Gold watercolours are created with safe non-toxic pigments and ingredients. The range contains 105 colours available in 15ml tubes.

To achieve the outstanding characteristics, like reusable paint when dried on a palette and the high control of paint flow even on soft water-colour papers Schmincke only use the best raw materials. In its colouristic appearance the total assortment is particularly harmonious, balanced and complete.

One main ingredient of the water-colour binding medium is Kordofan Gum Arabic from the southern Sahara region. Like most natural products this traditional water-colour binding medium differs from year to year. Therefore Schmincke is testing Gum Arabic every time before purchase and selects only the best crop of the respective year. This adds small but significant quality advantages. Other formula ingredients are selected equally carefully and of course are integrated in each formula in an individual optimised way to obtain a harmonious assortment, that can be easily picked up by the brush.

Another traditional quality criterion is the re-usability of the Horadam Aquarell water-colours while using the same formulation for tubes and pans. Both properties, the reusability and the control of the paint flow can only be achieved by pouring water-colours into pans in a liquid state, which is really unique.

Lightfastness: **** Good lightfastness Opacity: Semi-opaque Staining/Non-staining: StainingColour Index: PY216In order to achieve high standards regarding lightfastness, resolubility and stability, Schmincke Horadam watercolours contains only the finest raw materials. The paints are bound with Kordofan gum arabic from the southern Sahara. Due to the natural source of the binder, the gum arabic does tend to differ slightly year on year. Schmincke continually test the ingredient and the best of the batch is selected to ensure the highest quality is achieved. This means paint which has dried onto your palette can be easily re-wetted and painted with again. Among the range are 139 colours, with 95 single pigment hues for clean mixing.

L'Aquarelle Sennelier has been produced in the same way for more than a century using the best pigments and top quality Kordofan Gum Arabic as a bonding agent.This mix of natural ingredients produces colours which have a smooth, bright texture and offer lively, colourful shades. The Gum Arabic and honey combination offers incomparable quality of application, producing superb washes. Then, this base is mixed with pigments and carefully ground. Sennelier makes sure to wet the pigments in purified water (with no mineral salts) for 24 hours before mixing them in with the bonding agent. This improves the way in which the colours and bonding merge together, in turn bringing out the full beauty of the colours.

Sennelier watercolours are ground in the traditional way using grindstones rotating slowly so as not to heat up the paste. This operation is carried out in several stages until the paste are as fine as possible thus getting rid of any particles which might impair the perfection of the wash.

This exceptional and very high quality watercolour will help you make your works even more powerful due to the liveliness and purity of the hues. The colours mix together perfectly, offering superbly subtle shades. These smooth, intense colours will be a genuine pleasure to paint with. The addition of honey will allow the tubes and pans of Sennelier watercolours to stand up to the passing of time and each time you will paint with them you will be able to accurately translate the diversity of light, shape and hues.

Duochrome Mauve moves between a pale pinkish-purple and brilliant sparkling sapphire. This luminescent paint (with metal oxides) catches and reflects light, mimicking the glitter of water.

PR170, Very good lightfastness.Lascaux Aquacryl combine two worlds: they perform as an acrylic paint, yet are as transparent and light as watercolours. Lascaux Aquacryl is suitable not only for traditional watercolour techniques but also for luminous glazes on large formats. The range is highly pigmented, non-ageing and non-yellowing. They are easily soluble when dry and result in a matt finish. They consist of fine, pure, lightfast pigments and water soluble age-resistant acrylic resin.The paint can be applied directly or diluted, not only on water colour paper but on virtually any firm, porous surface with the use of brush, airbrush and a variety of other painting tools. No matter what the concentration, it dries to a velvety matt finish, durably preserving the richness and intensity of colour. Thin applications dry in such a manner that they can be overpainted without dissolving previously applied layers. Conversely, thickly applied layers can be dissolved to produce washes.Lascaux Gesso is recommended as a primer. To achieve a fine-grained texture, Lascaux Structura is especially suitable. By mixing with acrylic mediums, the paints become waterproof. Lascaux Aquacryl can be used in combination with acrylic paints as a mixed technique. Works are permanently protected with Lascaux Fixative without causing any essential change to their character.
