Description
Schmincke Horadam Naturals Watercolor – Madder Lake, 15ml Tube
Madder Lake (also known as Alizarin Red) is a strongly translucent, brownish red with very good lightfastness. It is made from the madder root using a historical recipe. Traces of this pigment were found in Pharaoh Tutankhamun’s tomb.
The natural pigments are sometimes slightly coarser in texture, which – unlike gouache – results in a rougher, usually slightly granular surface effect. The colors aren’t stiff but don’t flow as easily as traditional watercolor.
- Color Name: Madder Lake

Please note the delicate fragrance of individual colors is created by natural ingredients. Due to their use, slight color variations in shades within different batches may also occur. Anyone who works with these paints will quickly learn to appreciate the unique nature of Natural color shades.
