New for 2022! Schmincke has added all 40 intense, complex Supergranulation Watercolors to their standard assortment of half pans, so you can travel with a bigger and more exciting range of colors and textures than ever before.

In case you haven't heard about them already, Supergranulation Watercolors take a natural property of certain artist pigments and turns it into an eye-popping special effect. Pro watercolorists know that some pigments, like ultramarine blue and natural earth colors, form pockets of darker pigment when applied to paper. This textured look is beloved by landscape painters because it creates a complex and organic look with one brushstroke.

Supergranulation Watercolors take this granulating effect to the next level. By mixing together highly granulating colors that naturally separate from one another, each Supergranulation color explodes into ripples and pools of contrasting pigment when you use it on paper. The result is the most intensely granulating watercolor we've ever seen, enabling you to paint dreamy sunsets, extraterrestrial landscapes, and complex natural light with ease.

These half pans are made with the same top-quality materials, processes, and attention to detail as the rest of the Schmincke Horadam Watercolor lineup, and they are completely compatible with other Horadam colors. In fact, we recommend combining earthy, more opaque Supergranulation colors with bright and transparent standard colors—you can get some really impressive mixes that way!
