The brilliance of watercolour paint, when created using a cadmium pigment has long been enjoyed by artists through the ages. However, the cost, availability and (relatively low) toxicity of cadmiums have caused paint makers to look to alternatives, whilst maintaining as many of the original qualities as possible.

Schmincke's range of both cadmium and cadmium-free colours present the ideal opportunity to explore and create with both types of pigment. Try them for yourself - the more traditional cadmiums offer the quality and vibrance of past masters, whilst the cadmium-free colours showcase what modern technology can achieve in terms of performance, permanence and brilliance.
