Discover the Magic of Schmincke HORADAM® Aquarell Watercolours
The Schmincke HORADAM® Aquarell Supergranulating Watercolours are a dream for artists who love unique textures and colour effects. Schmincke has taken two granulating pigments (colours that naturally separate and settle on paper) and combined them to create something truly special. The result? Watercolours that shift and separate as they dry, revealing depth and character you simply can’t get with flat washes!
A Closer Look: The Tundra Set
In the demo video, we feature the Tundra set, which includes:
- Tundra Orange
- Tundra Pink
- Tundra Violet
- Tundra Blue
- Tundra Green
Among these, Tundra Violet is a standout favourite. Squeezed straight from the tube, it looks rich and dark, but with water it begins to bloom across the page, separating into subtle browns and violets. The effect is perfect for painting skies, mountains, or textured landscapes—anywhere you want natural-looking variation and depth.
Why We Love Them
- Natural texture – The pigments settle into the paper’s surface, creating organic, unpredictable patterns.
- Colour separation – Browns, violets, blues, and other undertones emerge as the paint dries, adding richness and depth.
- Effortless variation – Even a simple wash looks dynamic, making it easy to suggest skies, mountains, trees, or stone textures.
- Enhanced with water – The more you dilute, the more dramatic the granulation and separation become.
