Last year Schmincke launched a range of supergranulating watercolour paints in their professional Horadam range. The distinctive feature of this range is that the paints are based on pigments that have a natural tendency to granulate. By combining two or more pigments in one paint, they complement and enhance the colour in combinations and create an incredible texture on the surface of the paper. This line has been such a success that the range of the colours is expanded.  Like the previous series, it also includes five colours: they are pink, blue, indigo, brown and black. All paints have excellent lightfastness, and are transparent or semi-transparent.Continuing the tradition of the name of the range, which reflects motifs in this range of colours, the Haze range is about complex and unique shades of grey-brown: these are the colours best used for painting misty mountains, obscure clouds, dimly visible, hidden behind a haze. Contents:5 x 15ml Schmincke Horadam - Pink (PR233, PB36 - Transparent), Blue (PY43, PB29, PBr7 - Transparent), Indigo (PB29, PG26, PBr33 - Semi-transparent), Brown (PBr7, PBk11 - Semi-transparent), and Black (PG36, PBr33, PBk11 - Semi-opaque).

Perfect for landscapes and painting en plein air.The set includes five colours in 15ml tubes: Shire Yellow, Shire Olive, Shire Green, Shire Blue, and Shire Grey.

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 coloristic 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.

They contain only the purest medium fine ground artists' pigments, which are in the highest possible concentration. Contrastingly, the binding agent content, is kept to a minimum, which ensures a stable compound. In order to guarantee the highest quality it is necessary to manufacture Schmincke pastels using special recipes which avoid the use of machinery during manufacture. 'Worm extruders' form the pre-kneaded dough into round skeins, which are then detached by hand and cut in a wirestrung frame. The damp sticks have to dry for around eight days before they can be labelled and packed by hand. This is a costly and time consuming process, however it is the only way Schmincke can guarantee homogenous quality and smoothness in all the production cycles.
