Schmincke Horadam watercolors are among the world’s finest professional-grade colors. First patented in 1892 by Schmincke co-founder Josef Horadam and continuously improved over more than a century of effort, Horadam watercolors are vibrant, smooth, and easy to apply to any kind of watercolor paper. Only the best artist pigments are used for the 140 colors that make up today’s Horadam lineup. They’re milled until the paint becomes creamy and utterly consistent, and each color shines in its pan when water is applied.

Even the process of filling Horadam pans is special. Each pan is liquid-filled from the same watercolor that’s in Horadam tubes, then allowed to dry four times in a process that takes several weeks from start to finish. You can see how it works in the video we’ve included in this listing. The result is an incredibly concentrated dry pan that reactivates instantly when you touch it with a wet brush. Scrub a little bit and you’ll have intense color, ready to apply to your notebook or pad.

You’re looking at the hard-to-find large Horadam pans, twice as big as the half pans that are more common in American art supply stores. For those who like bold applications of color, full pans are indispensable. You can load big brushes more quickly and evenly, so you can make bigger, brighter strokes and washes.

Try mixing and matching Horadam full pans of your favorite colors with half pans of colors you use less frequently. Full and half pans fit into the same watercolor tins (the full pan simply takes up two slots.)
