SCHMINCKE Horadam Aquarell 18 Pans" A Metal Box with 6 Open Spaces (74318097)

La Ferrari degli acquarelli

El producto muy bueno pero muy mal protegido me ha venido golpeado y el envoltorio en mal estado. El tratamiento no esta a la altura de su calidad.

I would buy again. They are wonderful watercolors.

A more detailed description of this item:The box comes with a small postcard if you want to order several Schmincke brochures and a blank color chart, to make your own color chart. Contains instructions to make the color chart correctly.The paper provided for the chart seems to me to be 120-140 grams/m2 paper.The box is all metal including the palette with 10 divisions. ( I thought it would be plastic, but no.. it's metal)On the underside the box has a metal ring … the ring fits into the thumb and makes it much easier to support the box in the hand in field work.The fully opened box is quite large, about the size of an A4 spiral paper pad. It takes up a lot of space on the table top.The larger compartments in the top lid easily take about 25ml of liquid which allows washings to be prepared for quite large surfaces.The box has an empty row for extra pans. This row allows you to add another 6 full pans of your choice. it is perfectly possible to align 7 pans per row and accommodate a total of 28 colors in the box.
The empty row can be very useful for fieldwork. It’s quite wide and deep, and a brush # 4 one # 8 fitted perfectly ..the brush #12 could fit too if I cut a small end of the cable ... so 3 good size brushes can be fit in.It seems to me that it is a good idea to keep the wrappers for later ordering replacement pans with the exact color codes ... or not to buy repetitions I you want to increase the number of colors. However, the pans have a serial number printed on it and it seems to me that the last 3 digits refer to the color code it contains, so it may not be necessary to keep the wrappers.Until today, I only used student watercolors, although I have good student brands / series .... but when you open this box, you can see only by the look that this is watercolors from another level. I had never used artist grade paints, andI was amazed at the amount of intense paint that is produced with just a light lick on the pan ...It is a wonderful article.
