Schmincke | HORADAM® Best Of Supergranulation Set — 12 X 1/2 Pans

The Schmincke HORADAM® Best of Supergranulation Set contains 12 half pans presented in a smart tin, andt features 12 of the most popular supergranulating colours from the Horadam range.

The distinctive feature of supergranulating watercolour paints is that the paints are based on pigments that have a natural tendency to granulate. By combining two or more pigments in one mixture, they complement and enhance the colour in combinations and create an incredible texture on the surface of the paper.

Schmincke HORADAM® Supergranulation watercolours contain only the finest raw materials, making them lightfast, resoluble and stable. 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 tests their ingredients, 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.

This Schmincke HORADAM® Best of Supergranulation Set contains the following:

• Volcano yellow ○ Volcano red ○ Shire blue ○ Shire green ○ Shire grey ○ Tundra blue ○ Desert yellow ○ Desert green ○ Glacier green ○ Deep sea green ○ Tundra violet ○ Galaxy Pink.

Tip! Granulating paints are sought after by artists because of the effects they can bring to a painting as the paint particles gather to form an uneven ‘mottled’ texture on the paper. The effect can be heightened if a rough watercolour paper is used as the heavier pigments gather into the troughs of the paper.
