Bring expressive brilliance and cool elegance to your work with Schmincke Horadam Aquarell Watercolour Paint - Ruby Red (Colour No. 351, Series 3). This transparent, bluish red delivers a vivid yet refined hue, ideal for floral compositions, portraits, and layered washes that require depth, luminosity, and precise colour control. Its cool undertone makes it particularly versatile for mixing purples, magentas, and deep crimsons, while maintaining exceptional clarity.
Formulated with Quinacridone Red (PV19), this modern organic pigment offers excellent lightfastness, semi-transparent coverage, and strong tinting power. Its transparency allows subtle layering, where varying pigment density shifts the colour’s character from bright ruby to deep crimson perfect for achieving nuanced tonal variations.
Each Horadam Aquarell colour is bound with the finest Kordofan Gum Arabic, sourced from the southern Sahara and carefully batch-tested to ensure maximum stability, resolubility, and fluidity. Once dry on the palette, the paint rewets effortlessly, preserving its smooth consistency and luminous brilliance.
With over 150 professional shades available in 5ml, 15ml, Half Pan, and Full Pan formats (sold separately), and 95 single-pigment hues for pure and consistent mixing, Schmincke Horadam Aquarell continues to set the standard for premium watercolour excellence.
