Natural and precious pigments
The most outstanding feature of HORADAM Naturals is the exclusive use of natural pigments and extracts based on earth and plants. The real juice of the indigofera plant or the resin of the dragon's blood tree allow for plant-based colours. The use of exceptional earth pigments results in precious colours such as Lalvarit violet or Caucasian earth. All pigments used have been carefully selected. The lightfastness of each pigment corresponds to its natural characteristics;
100% vegan and naturally formulated
The aspiration for a vegan and naturally formulated watercolour leads to properties that distinguish this colour from a pure watercolour or a gouache. Therefore, a certain degree of familiarity and understanding of the characteristics that distinguish these colours is required:
Natural pigments sometimes have a slightly coarser texture, which - unlike gouache - results in a rougher, usually slightly grainy surface effect.
The consistency of the colours is a little harder, so the colours do not flow as easily as with watercolours. This makes the colour more controllable, comparable to gouache.
Some colours, such as Turmeric and Stil de Grain, have a wide colour range due to their high glazing properties. While turmeric allows for yellow to orange strokes of colour, Stil de Grain has a yellow-green to greenish-brown colour. This characteristic is very similar to that of a watercolour.
The delicate fragrance of the different colour shades is due to the natural ingredients. Due to use, there may also be slight colour variations in some shades within different batches. This is not a quality defect. Anyone who makes use of these properties will quickly learn to appreciate the special nature of Naturals colour shades.
