Professional German Watercolor Sets with Unmatched Performance
Schmincke Horadam Watercolor Sets bring over a century of tradition and craftsmanship into every pan and tube. Since 1881, each Horadam color has been formulated with its own optimized recipe, using only the finest pigments and Kordofan Gum Arabic—a natural resin sourced from the southern Sahara. These professional sets are designed for maximum control, brilliance, and reusability. Even after drying on your palette, the paint reactivates instantly with a wet brush, maintaining smoothness and consistency without forming globules. Whether you're working in a studio or outdoors, these sets offer unmatched versatility and responsiveness.
Each watercolor set is carefully curated for serious watercolorists, illustrators, and professionals who demand refined performance and precise color handling. The restrained use of ONETZ (ox gall) as a dispersant ensures color flow stays predictable, even on soft or delicate papers. Made in Germany to the highest standards, Horadam watercolor sets provide a rich, reliable painting experience that continues to impress generation after generation.
