Create natural harmony and depth with Schmincke Horadam Aquarell Watercolour Paint - Olive Green (Colour No. 515, Series 1), a neutral, semi-opaque green designed to capture the essence of nature. This classic landscape pigment combines Phthalocyanine Blue (PB15) and Metal Complex Green (PG8) to produce a perfectly balanced tone that bridges warm and cool greens making it an essential base for nuanced botanical and landscape painting.

Olive Green offers excellent mixing versatility, blending beautifully with yellows for bright foliage or with reds and browns for rich, earthy shadows. Its smooth handling and moderate opacity make it ideal for building subtle layers, midtones, and depth within natural scenes.

Each Horadam Aquarell paint is carefully formulated with Kordofan Gum Arabic from the southern Sahara, rigorously tested to ensure optimal consistency, lightfastness, and resolubility. This ensures effortless reactivation even after drying, allowing artists to maintain fluid transitions and natural tonal harmony in every wash.
