This set is part of the Schmincke Horadam Retro Watercolour Collection. The range features a selection of special edition sets inspired by the original packaging design and colour selections from a 1912 catalogue discovered in the Schmincke archives. The Horadam Watercolour Paint Retro Set of 18 Half Pans & 5ml Cochineal Red comes in a smart wooden box, printed with the 1912 owl logo design and packaged in a beautiful art nouveau-style cardboard sleeve using the graphics and typeface from the period. The individual wrapping on each half pan also steps back in time. A highlight of this set is the inclusion of Cochineal Red which has been specially reissued and offers all the characteristics of the original.
Schmincke Horadam Watercolour Paint Sets offer a great overview of the range. Expand your collection of watercolours, experiment with new colours, or share a Schmincke set as a gift.
In order to achieve the highest standard, Schmincke use the best raw materials available. There is no compromise in quality - the highest standards of artists' pigments allow the highest level of lightfastness. Schmincke's watercolour binding medium is Kordofan gum arabic from the Sahara region. Due to it differing from year to year, it is tested and the best of the batch is selected to use with their pigments. They use an optimal amount of ox gall to avoid undesired coloured formations and undissolved pigment, allowing the perfect flow of colour.
