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.

Cadmium Red

Pigment code
PR108
Type
inorganic, cadmium
Chemical name
cadmium sulfide and cadmium selenide
Chemical formula
CdS x CdSe
Properties
Cadmium Red is a bright, warm red that ranges in shade from orange-red to maroon and is available in light, medium, and dark versions. It is strong and opaque, with good tinting strength. Cadmium Red dries slowly. It grays down when mixed with white, mixes well with blues to create a range of browns, and mixes well with Cadmium Yellow to create a strong orange. It also works well in neutral mixes. Cadmium pigments have been partially replaced by azo pigments, which are similar in lightfastness to the cadmium colors, cheaper, and non-toxic. Hues vary by brand. Cadmium Red is usually available in either a pure grade or a cadmium-barium mix. The cadmium-barium mix has the same permanence as pure Cadmium Red, but it has a lower tinting strength.
Permanence
Cadmium Red is lightfast and permanent in most forms, but like many cadmium pigments, it will fade in fresco or mural painting. Its improved lightfastness has helped it to replace Vermilion on the artist’s palette.
Toxicity
Cadmium Red is a known human carcinogen. It is extremely toxic if inhaled and slightly toxic if ingested.
History
Cadmiums get their names from the Latin word cadmia meaning zinc ore calamine, and the Greek word kadmeia, meaning Cadmean earth, first found near Thebes, the city founded by the Phoenician prince Cadmus. Metallic cadmium was discovered in 1817 by Friedrich Strohmeyer, but Cadmium Red was not introduced until 1907 in Germany.
Description
Cadmium Scarlet, Selenium Red.

Cerulean Blue

Pigment code
PB35
Type
inorganic
Chemical name
cobalt(II) stannate
Chemical formula
CoO n SnO2
Properties
Cerulean Blue is the standard cool blue, considered the traditional counterpart to Ultramarine, and is often used for painting atmospheric shades. It is quick drying and retains its color well, better than any other blue, in oil paint form. However, it tends to granulate or become chalky in watercolors. It has limited hiding power, is semi-opaque, and is easy to control. Its tinting capacity is low, so it can become lost when mixing.
Permanence
Cerulean Blue has excellent permanence. It is very stable and lightfast.
Toxicity
Cerulean Blue is moderately toxic if inhaled or ingested and slightly toxic if it comes into contact with skin.
History
The name Cerulean Blue comes from the Latin word caelum, meaning sky. This pigment was discovered in 1805 by Andreas Hopfner, but it was not widely available until introduced by Messrs. G. Rowney & Co. in England under the name coeruleum in 1860 for use in aquarelle and oil painting. It was produced by the action of heat on cobalt oxide and other metallic bases.
Description
Bleu Celeste, Caeruleum, Coelin, Coeruleum.

Properties

Permanence
Mars Brown has excellent permanence and lightfastness, with outstanding resistance to chemicals, heat, and weather.
Toxicity
Mars Brown is not considered toxic, although care should be taken not to breathe its dust.
History
Unknown.
