Horadam watercolours are known for their excellent lightfastness and durability, ensuring that colours remain vibrant over time.
Practical Format:

To use a Dot Card, simply wet a brush and stroke the drop of colour to activate it.
The watercolours behave like a conventional watercolour tablet, providing an authentic painting experience.

Exploration and Testing: Ideal for experimenting and discovering new colours before committing to buying larger tubes or tablets.

Recommendations for use:
Preparation: Wet the brush and stroke the drop of colour on the Dot Card to pick up pigment.
Test: Apply the colour to your watercolour paper to see its true tone and behaviour.
Organisation: For convenience, cut out the colour drops together with their names and staple them to watercolour paper. This not only makes it easier to use, but also allows you to make detailed notes on the characteristics and mixtures of each colour.
The Schmincke Horadam Watercolour Dot Cards are not only a useful tool for professional and amateur artists, but also provide an educational and exploratory experience into the fascinating world of watercolour.
