Schmincke Horadam Aquarell Watercolour Paint 5ml - S2 - Bordeaux

Immerse your artwork in deep, elegant warmth with Schmincke Horadam Aquarell Watercolour Paint - Bordeaux (Colour No. 362, Series 2). This intense, transparent dark red evokes the richness of fine wine, offering a warm, luxurious alternative to traditional alizarin tones. Ideal for portrait shadows, floral depth, and atmospheric washes, Bordeaux brings sophistication and warmth to every stroke.

Formulated with Pigment Red 187 (PR187), this hue provides strong chroma, good transparency, and smooth blending properties. Its balanced tone bridges the gap between crimson and deep rose, creating a luminous red that glows from within perfect for layering, glazing, and achieving natural transitions in complex colour compositions.

Each Horadam Aquarell paint is crafted with premium Kordofan Gum Arabic, sourced from the southern Sahara and thoroughly batch-tested to ensure stability, resolubility, and superior pigment dispersion. Once dry, the paint rewets easily, maintaining its brilliance and buttery consistency for effortless reactivation on the palette.

With over 150 professional shades available in 5ml, 15ml, Half Pan, and Full Pan formats (sold separately), and 95 single-pigment hues for clean, precise mixing, Schmincke Horadam Aquarell remains a gold standard in professional watercolour artistry.

Bordeaux (Series 2) is a transparent, warm dark red offering refined depth, smooth flow, and timeless elegance, making it a must-have for artists seeking richness and harmony in their red palette.
