year. Schmincke continually test the ingredient and the best of the
batch is selected to ensure the highest quality is achieved. This
means paint which has dried onto your palette can be easily
re-wetted and painted with again. Among the range are 139 colours,
with 95 single pigment hues for clean mixing.
