Roman Szmal : Aquarius : Watercolor Paint Sets

Aquarius is a range of mostly single pigment paints made by Roman Szmal. Such a wide range of single pigment paints ensures clean mixing and lets artists create their own palettes.

The range contains a few unique tones such as PY61, PY168, PV37, PBr23 or PBk8. The 34 Earth Shades are made from natural earths, not synthetic iron oxides, and these unusual pigments are found in many different places around the world. Some unique shades are created exclusively by Roman Szmal, such as Aquarius Green, Przybysz's Grey, Ocean Blue, Shadow Violet, Green Gold and Olive Green.

Colors are made in small batches that allows them to be carefully checked. Every batch is tested for performance qualities: vibrancy, flowing abilities, viscosity, color value, transparency, granulation, undertone, tinting strength, clarity and particle size. For each color, Roman Szmal select the perfect grind to match the particle size.

Each color is made with high-quality gum arabic and glycerin, linden honey, distilled water and pure pigments. Every pan is filled by hand.
