Schmincke Horadam Aquarell Retro Set - Technical Colours 9 Whole Pans

Based on the old DIN 201 standard, this set contains nine Horadam colours that were once used by architects, technical draughtsmen and cadastral surveyors to produce their technical drawings. An interesting fact: each colour represents a specific construction material and its use (e.g. orange for bronze and wood, purple for cast steel, dark green for light metals or wire coils, and grey for concrete and quarry stone masonry). 

Anyone who uses these colours for artistic purposes rather than technical ones will immediately notice that all of the selected watercolours are not only very harmonious and versatile when used on their own, but also produce a wide range of other brilliant shades when mixed together. Thus, in addition to its special retro style, this historic box also provides the perfect basis for all applications in modern watercolour painting.
