Embrace timeless elegance with Schmincke Horadam Aquarell Watercolour Paint – Rose Madder (Colour No. 356, Series 1). This traditional soft pink offers a gentle, romantic hue that has long been cherished by artists for its delicate charm and classic character. With its transparent quality and subtle bluish undertone, Rose Madder is ideal for portraits, florals, and atmospheric washes, adding a graceful warmth and soft luminosity to any composition.
Formulated from a blend of Anthraquinone and Manganesian Lake pigments (PR83:1, PR48:4), this colour delivers a balanced, transparent pink that transitions beautifully from soft rose tones to deeper reddish hues in layered applications. The inclusion of manganesian lake pigments enhances its bluish-red undertones, offering versatility and subtle vibrancy in controlled glazing or mixed colourwork.
Each Horadam Aquarell colour is bound with the finest Kordofan Gum Arabic, sourced from the southern Sahara and rigorously batch-tested to ensure exceptional stability, smooth resolubility, and consistent flow. Once dry on the palette, it rewets easily, maintaining its delicate transparency and fine granulation.
