About this product range

Schmincke Horadam Aquarell Half Pans are individually optimized and formulated using the highest-quality pigments, water-soluble resins, and natural gums. Produced in Germany since 1881, the company is now owned by the fourth generation of the original family. Today the line includes an array of brilliant, intense, professional-quality colors — many of them with the highest lightfastness ratings of 4 or 5 stars. Smooth flowing and intermixable, colors that have dried on the palette can be reactivated with a wet brush.
