PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
What colours are in the Schmincke Deep Sea Set of 15 ml tubes? This limited edition set includes five “supergranulating” professional grade watercolors in 15 ml tubes: Deep Sea Violet, Deep Sea Indigo, Deep Sea Blue, Deep Sea Green, and Deep Sea Black.
The granulating effects of Schmincke's Super Granulating colours will be best realised on rough watercolour papers
The 140 HORADAM® AQUARELL colours mix an incredibly wide range of colours and exceed the strictest standards for a high-end watercolour. The collection includes a variety of tried-and-true colours as well as a number of brand-new hues made using unique pigments like perylenes, quinacridones, or transparent iron oxides. The 92 single pigment colours available in such a huge quantity allow for especially spectacular blending outcomes, while the 22 granulating colours offer distinctive effects. Since 2022, the new 40 HORADAM® AQUARELL "supergranulating colours" have been a permanent part of the palette. These watercolours have a unique quality that causes "hyper granulation" when at least two granulating HORADAM® pigments are combined. The colours are formulated with pigments from different colour ranges, resulting in additional colour changes besides the granulation effect. This novel, natural structure formation of the colours varies depending on the paper and the amount of water used. The rougher the paper, the stronger the granulating effect. The supergranulating colours are divided into 8 thematic series of 5 colours each: Deep Sea, Glacier, Galaxy, Forest, Tundra, Volcano, Shire and Desert. The opacity of the colours is predominantly semi-transparent/semi-opaque. By the way: In 2022 Schmincke has been awarded for the fourth time Brand of the Century with the HORADAM® AQUARELL and thus remains in the circle of Germany‘s strongest and best-known brands.
Schmincke have added a range of super-granulating colours to their Horadam watercolour range. Each colour contains a combination of granulating pigments which separate and settle into the paper surface for textural watercolour effects.
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.
