Reviews

Schmincke has been developing and manufacturing its Horadam line of watercolors since 1881, and the company is now owned by the fourth generation of the original family. Today the Horadam line includes 139 brilliant, intense colors, 112 of them with the highest lightfastness ratings of 4 or 5 stars. 95 of the colors are formulated with a single pigment for perfect mixing results. Each color has its own individually optimized formula.

Schmincke has a reputation for using only the highest-quality natural gums, water-soluble resins, and pigments. For example, the company uses only Kordofan Gum Arabic from the southern Sahara region, and distinguishes between good and bad harvests or "vintages" of this natural resin as it selects its raw materials.

Horadam Watercolors are available in 15 ml (.51 oz) tubes. Made in Germany.

Set of 12 — This metal boxed set has 12 colors in 5 ml (0.17 oz) tubes, including Lemon Yellow, Cadmium Yellow Light, Cadmium Red Light, Permanent Carmine, Ultramarine Finest, Prussian Blue, Phthalo Green, Permanent Green Olive, Yellow Ochre, English Venetian Red, Sepia Brown, and Ivory Black. Also includes a fold-out palette.

Horadam colors can be lifted from a dried palette without forming small bubbles. Colors that have dried on the palette can be reused an unlimited number of times.

Horadam makes limited use of ox gall as a dispersant. Colors flow evenly and are fully intermixable. This helps the artist maintain full control of color, even on softer papers.
