In order to achieve the highest standard regarding lightfastness, resolubility and stability, Schmincke use the best raw materials available. There is no compromise in quality - the highest standards of artists' pigments allow the highest level of lightfastness.

Schmincke's watercolour binding medium is Kordofan Gum Arabic from the Sahara region. Due to it differing from year to year it is tested and the best of the batch is selected to use with their pigments.

They use an optimal amount of oxgall to avoid undesired coloured formations and undissolved pigment, allowing the perfect flow of colour.

This was my first set of Schmincke watercolours. The colours are intense so the tiniest amount goes a long way, making them very economical. I get comments about their richness as people cannot believe that my pictures are watercolour - the colours really pop! I actually prefer to 'select' my colours rather than mix them as I need continuity in my work (I am an illustrator/author of children's picture books) so it's nice to see Schmincke has a great range of shades, which they are expanding. The box is exquisite quality and I love the ceramic tray which is much nicer to use and easier to clean than a plastic one.

I would love to see more choice of box size in this range as I prefer tubes to pans. Also it would be lovely if Schmincke could make their boxes available to purchase without the paints, so I could store the extra colours I have bought since.

I am delighted to see that they have released a 140 tube set. I will be eagerly awaiting to see if it is offered at a special rate (it is rather pricey) as I would love the opportunity to try out all the additional colours.

I really could not see myself using any other paint than Schmincke in my work. (Posted on 31/01/2022)
