Illuminate your artwork with the refined luminosity of Schmincke Horadam Aquarell Watercolour Paint - Quinacridone Red Light (Colour No. 343, Series 3). This transparent, modern red has a cooler tone and less yellowish hue than Vermilion Light, making it ideal for creating vivid florals, soft glazes, and expressive, luminous layers. Its clarity and smooth transparency allow artists to achieve delicate transitions and subtle intensity in every wash.
Formulated with Pigment Red 207 (PR207), this professional-grade watercolour offers good lightfastness, semi-staining properties, and brilliant transparency, ensuring colour purity and resilience over time. Perfect for glazing and layering, it produces natural gradients and seamless blends when mixed with warm or cool tones.
Each Horadam Aquarell paint is bound with the finest Kordofan Gum Arabic, carefully sourced from the southern Sahara and meticulously batch-tested to ensure outstanding stability, resolubility, and consistency. Once dry on the palette, it rewets effortlessly, maintaining a vibrant, even flow that defines Schmincke’s quality craftsmanship.
With over 150 professional shades available in 5ml, 15ml, Half Pan, and Full Pan formats (sold separately), and 95 single-pigment colours for precise, clean mixing, Schmincke Horadam Aquarell continues to lead the way in professional watercolour performance.
