Schmincke Horadam Aquarell Watercolour Paint 5ml - S3 - Viridian

Bring freshness and depth to your palette with Schmincke Horadam Aquarell Watercolour Paint - Viridian (Colour No. 513, Series 3), a granulating, semi-transparent blue-green treasured for its extreme lightfastness and naturally balanced tone. Made from pure Chromium Oxide Hydrate (PG18), Viridian offers a soft, cool green that captures the serenity of nature and the clarity of clean, luminous water.

This pigment’s gentle granulation and smooth flow make it ideal for creating subtle washes, shadows in foliage, ocean hues, and atmospheric depth. Its semi-transparent quality allows for beautiful layering, while its non-staining nature ensures flexibility and control for artists who love to lift or rework their watercolour passages.

As part of the Horadam Aquarell range, each paint is bound with Kordofan Gum Arabic from the southern Sahara selected and tested to ensure excellent resolubility, consistent texture, and perfect reactivation. This guarantees lasting brilliance and seamless performance across all painting techniques.

With over 150 premium shades available in 5ml, 15ml, Half Pan, and Full Pan (sold separately) and 95 single-pigment colours for pure mixing, Schmincke Horadam Aquarell continues to set the benchmark for professional watercolours.

Viridian (Series 3) is a granulating, semi-transparent blue-green with excellent lightfastness, ideal for landscapes, botanical art, seascapes, and cool tonal glazes that radiate depth and natural beauty.
