Schmincke Horadam Watercolor 140 Color Dot Card

Horadam Watercolor 140 Color Dot Card, Schmincke

Schmincke has been producing its Horadam line of watercolors since 1881. Today the Horadam line includes 139 glorious colors, 112 of those colors have the highest lightfastness ratings of 4 or 5 stars. 95 of the colors are formed with a single pigment for perfect mixing effects. Each color has its own independently optimized recipe made of the finest pigments, Ox gall, and traditional binders.

Schmincke uses only Kordofan Gum Arabic from the southern Sahara a natural resin binder. Horadam colors can be raised from a dried palette without developing globules. Colors that have dried on the palette can be awakened with a wet brush and reused an infinite number of times.

Schmincke limits use of ONETZ (ox gall) as a dispersant. This helps the artist maintain full control of color, even on softer papers.

The Dot card contains the full line of HORADAM® watercolors. With a wet brush, you can pick up color from the dry dots and create a color or value chart for reference. The Dot card allows you to experience the variety of each color without the added cost. Once dry you can use the dot card as a decision guide when choosing and buying colors.
