Schmincke Horadam Aquarell Watercolour Paint 5ml - S1 - Green Umber

Explore the natural depth of Schmincke Horadam Aquarell Watercolour Paint - Green Umber (Colour No. 665, Series 1), a granulating, semi-transparent dark brown with a distinct green undertone. Made from Natural Iron Oxide (PBr7), this extremely lightfast pigment offers a harmonious blend of earthy warmth and cool shadow tones perfect for landscape painting, natural textures, and tonal underpainting.

Green Umber sits between Vandyke Brown and Olive tones, providing a lighter, more transparent alternative that evokes the richness of aged wood, foliage shadows, and forest soils. Its natural granulation adds depth and texture to washes, making it a superb choice for creating atmospheric layers, organic effects, and realistic natural details.

Every Schmincke Horadam Aquarell paint is formulated with premium Kordofan Gum Arabic from the southern Sahara, rigorously tested and selected for purity to ensure superior flow, outstanding resolubility, and consistent brilliance. Once dry, the colour reactivates easily with water, maintaining a smooth application and balanced tonal strength across every stroke.

With over 150 professional watercolours available in 5ml, 15ml, Half Pan, and Full Pan formats (sold separately), and 95 single-pigment hues designed for clean, accurate mixing, Schmincke Horadam Aquarell remains a benchmark of German craftsmanship and artistic excellence.
