Roman Szmal Aquarius Watercolor Full Pan - Graphite

Each colour in the Aquarius range is made using high-quality gum arabic, glycerin, linden honey, distilled water, and of course a selection of pure pigments.

The paints themselves are hand filled full pans, and they arrived carefully packaged in a protective wrap, branded silver foil, and a swatch of watercolour paper decorated with a delicate sweep of the corresponding colour.

The paper wrap also carries important information such as the name of the paint, the pigment number, the pigments’ lightfast rating (according to the Blue Wool Scale), whether it is staining or non-staining, its granulation properties, and its transparency rating: which is an awful lot of information to pack into quite a small piece of paper.

Colours are made in small batches that allow them to be carefully checked. Every batch is tested for performance qualities: vibrancy, flowing abilities, viscosity, colour value, transparency, granulation, undertone, tinting strength, clarity, and particle size. For each colour, Roman Szmal select the perfect grind to match the particle size.
