This special edition Schmincke Horadam Aquarell Watercolour Metal Tin Full Pan Set of 9 Technical Colours is based on the old DIN 201 standard, It contains nine Horadam Aquarell colours that were once used by architects, technical draughtsmen
and land registry offices to produce their technical drawings.
The set recalls the technical colour systems of the early 20th century with each colour represents a specific construction material and its use, offering a distinctive palette rooted in architectural heritage. 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.
