Schmincke Horadam Aquarell Watercolors - Schmincke has been developing and manufacturing its Horadam line
of watercolors since 1881, and the company is now owned by the
fourth generation of the original family. Today the Horadam line includes 110
colors, 70 of them formulated with a single pigment. Each color has
its own individually optimized formula. Schmincke has a reputation for using only
the highest-quality natural gums, water-soluble resins, and pigments. For example, the company
uses only Kordofan Gum Arabic from the southern Sahara region, and distinguishes
between good and bad harvests or "vintages" of this natural resin as
it selects its raw materials. Horadam Watercolors are available in 15 ml
(.51 oz) tubes. Made in Germany. Gift Idea — A variety of
introductory and gift sets are available. Each set is comprised of sample
sized 5 ml tubes. See Schmincke Horadam Aquarell Watercolor Gift Sets for
pictures and more detailed specifications of these sets. |

Winsor & Newton Finity Acrylics - After conducting careful research to find out
what artists really wanted from an acrylic paint, Winsor & Newton developed
Finity Acrylics. This superior range of acrylics offers the widest color spectrum,
maximum performance, optimum brilliance and intensity of color. The Finity line is
known for its excellent brush stroke retention, minimal color shift from wet
to dry, uniformity in consistency, and satin finish throughout the entire range.
Finity colors remain workable on the palette slightly longer than other acrylic
colors. Most colors contain only a single pigment, for cleaner, brighter mixes.
Finity Acrylics also offer unsurpassed covering power and tinting strength, and are
non-tacky when dry. Winsor & Newton Finity Acrylics come in a range
of 75 colors formulated to a soft buttery consistency. They are water
soluble when wet and water resistant when dry. Use them on canvas,
paper, wood, degreased leather, or any surface that is not too greasy
or glossy. They are not for use over oil paints or on
oil primed surfaces. All Finity colors are classified as permanent for use
by artists. |
