Premium Watercolor Sets for Professional Artists

Schmincke Horadam Watercolor Sets represent the pinnacle of quality for serious watercolorists. With a legacy dating back to 1881, each color in the Horadam line is crafted using a unique, optimized recipe—featuring the highest quality pigments and Kordofan Gum Arabic from the southern Sahara. These meticulously curated sets provide a balanced, professional-grade selection for mixing, layering, and expressive work. What makes Horadam truly exceptional is its reusability—colors that dry on the palette can be reawakened with a wet brush, without losing their smooth consistency or developing globules.

Whether you're painting in the studio or on location, Horadam sets give you complete control. Schmincke limits the use of ONETZ (ox gall) to ensure a consistent flow across various paper types, even soft-sized ones. With their precise formulation and travel-friendly pan and tube set options, Horadam watercolors offer vibrant, luminous results and a fluid painting experience that continues to inspire illustrators, plein air painters, and professional artists alike.
