Schmincke Horadam Watercolor Chart

As promised from my previous post, here are the watercolor charts of the dot cards given to me by Schmincke.

The 12 basic Schmincke Horadam Aquarell

The new 35 Schmincke Horadam colors

Making these color swatches is a dream. The colors are easy to wet and very pigmented, it only took a few swipes. It's also very vibrant and highly transparent, even the paper used is beautiful; not too rough nor absorbent, the color just flows.

Hope you enjoy these color charts and help you in case you want to try Schmincke Horadam watercolors.

P.S. I e-mailed Schmincke for the brand of the paper used for the dot cards, it's Hahnemuhle, Burgund, 250 gsm.The paper is just superb so I think you guys can also give it a try.

Schmincke Horadam Watercolors

Schmincke Horadam watercolors are artist grade watercolors made from Germany. I have heard a lot of good reviews for it as it is used by several professional artists. This piqued my interest but trying it out can be a bit expensive albeit really worth it. Hence, I tried to e-mail (info@schmincke.de) the Schmincke company if it's possible to have some samples or dot cards. Fortunately, it is possible after all. Here's what they sent me.

 

It includes two sets of dot cards, a brochure and a small letter :) telling me to enjoy the dot cards and I certainly will.

Here are the dot cards; one with 12 colors and the other with the new 35 colors.

 

I'm excited to try and see the colors. I'll be posting a swatch and color charts soon for your reference and viewing pleasure. Cheers!
