Schmincke Horadam Aquarell Watercolour Paint 5ml - S1 - Hooker’s Green

Bring natural warmth and harmony to your paintings with Schmincke Horadam Aquarell Watercolour Paint - Hooker’s Green (Colour No. 521, Series 1), a rich, opaque, warm green beloved by landscape artists for centuries. This modern formulation combines Phthalocyanine Blue (PB15:3), Phthalocyanine Green (PG7), and Hydrated Iron Oxide (PY42) to recreate the classic 18th-century mixture of gamboge gum and Prussian blue now rendered with lightfast, permanent pigments.

Hooker’s Green captures the essence of lush foliage, shaded forest canopies, and natural earth greens, offering both vibrancy and depth. Its balanced warmth makes it perfect for foliage, stems, and earthy vegetation tones. When mixed with yellows or blues, it produces a wide spectrum of natural greens ideal for landscape and botanical painting.

Each Horadam Aquarell paint is made using Kordofan Gum Arabic from the southern Sahara, meticulously tested for purity, consistency, and resolubility. This ensures that every colour reactivates beautifully on the palette while maintaining the rich, even flow and superior lightfastness that define the Schmincke standard.

With over 150 professional colours available in 5ml, 15ml, Half Pan, and Full Pan (sold separately) and 95 single-pigment hues for clean, reliable mixing, Schmincke Horadam Aquarell continues to be the preferred choice for fine artists worldwide.

Hooker’s Green (Series 1) is an opaque, warm green with good lightfastness, ideal for landscape painting, botanical studies, and natural tonal layering where authentic, earthy greens are essential.
