Schmincke Horadam Aquarell Watercolour Paint 5ml - S1 - Transparent Red Deep

Add warmth and intensity to your palette with Schmincke Horadam Aquarell Watercolour Paint - Transparent Red Deep (Colour No. 355, Series 1). This warm, transparent dark red radiates depth and richness, ideal for florals, figure studies, and dramatic glazing effects. Its strong staining character and luminous undertone make it a versatile choice for creating vibrant shadows and glowing mid-tones in layered washes.

Formulated with Pigment Red 144 (PR144), this single-pigment colour offers high chroma, semi-transparent coverage, and a strong warm undertone, producing glowing reddish-browns or deep maroons depending on dilution. Its transparency and staining quality allow for expressive layering without muddying, while maintaining a clean, fiery brilliance throughout.

Each Horadam Aquarell paint is bound with the finest Kordofan Gum Arabic, sourced from the southern Sahara and rigorously batch-tested to ensure superb stability, resolubility, and colour flow. Once dry on the palette, it rewets easily, retaining its smooth texture and full pigment strength.

With over 150 professional colours available in 5ml, 15ml, Half Pan, and Full Pan formats (sold separately), and 95 single-pigment hues for clean, reliable mixing, Schmincke Horadam Aquarell represents the pinnacle of professional watercolour craftsmanship.
