These new special colours were created in collaboration with artists worldwide,offering unique shades that have never been part of the HORADAM watercolour range – each featuring distinctive tones and characteristics that make them one of a kind.
Atoll Blue
Atoll blue is a radiant, luminous, summery-atmospheric colour between turquoise and blue. This colour is highly lightfast, semi-transparent and has high staining properties. it is made of the pigments PB16 and PG50.
Used pure for colourful, southern water representations, atolls and much more. It forms a complementary contrast to orange and warm red tones.
Buff Titan
Buff Titan is a warm, extremely lightfast, semi-opaque, broken white/beige tone which is hard to replicate through mixing.
As it's a single pigmented watercolour (consists of PW6:1) Buff Titan is very suitable for mixing. Thereby it provides significant lightning with a noticeable shift in tone.
This shade is excellent for architecture and sandy textures.
Wild Purple x Vitas Artworks
Wild Purple is a granulating, colour-intensive, semi-opaque pink-violet with good lightfastness properties. It consists of the pigments PV19, PB29 and PG17.
It is perfect for creating dramatic backgrounds and landscapes or as a shadow colour when mixed with a hint of blue. It can also be used for monochrome paintings.
Our tip: Have the confidence to work with a little more water. This helps you to achieve great colour separations of blue and red shades.
