Yes, Schmincke watercolours are professional grade and considered among the highest quality available. They feature maximum pigment concentration, excellent lightfastness, and use pure gum arabic from African acacia trees as the binder.
What is super granulating watercolour?
Supergranulating watercolours are special formulations that create dramatic texture and separation when applied to paper. The pigment particles settle into the valleys of textured paper, creating mottled, organic effects. Schmincke's supergranulating colours are specially formulated to enhance this effect beyond standard granulating pigments, creating pronounced, beautiful textures.
