Schmincke Horadam Aquarell Watercolour Paint 5ml - S1 - Green Earth

Discover the quiet elegance of Schmincke Horadam Aquarell Watercolour Paint - Green Earth (Colour No. 516, Series 1), a semi-transparent, natural earth pigment prized for its gentle tonality and versatility. Containing pure natural earth pigments (PBr7) blended with Phthalocyanine Green (PG7), this subtle hue offers a muted, neutral green with delicate transparency ideal for soft natural tones and skin shading.

Green Earth has long been valued by portrait and figure artists for its ability to tone down flesh tints and neutralise warm undertones without overpowering them. Its fine transparency and low chroma make it equally useful in landscape work for achieving atmospheric depth, natural shadows, and harmonious colour balance.

Each Horadam Aquarell colour is meticulously formulated using Kordofan Gum Arabic from the southern Sahara, selected and tested for consistent performance, exceptional resolubility, and maximum colour stability. This ensures that every wash and glaze flows smoothly and can be easily reactivated on your palette.

With over 150 professional shades available in 5ml, 15ml, Half Pan, and Full Pan (sold separately) and 95 single-pigment colours for clean, predictable mixing, Schmincke Horadam Aquarell continues to define excellence in fine watercolour craftsmanship.

Green Earth (Series 1) is a semi-transparent, natural earth green with good lightfastness, perfect for portraits, nude studies, and muted landscape tones where subtlety and natural realism are key.
