Description
Schmincke Horadam Naturals Watercolor – Curcuma, 15ml Tube
A subdued warm yellow with semi-transparent characteristics, Curcuma (or Turmeric) comes from the ginger family. Artists and fabric dyers use Curcuma roots to make a popular yellow dye. Curcuma holds significant cultural importance in Indian traditions, having been used for over 4000 years, and continues to play an essential role in traditional Indian weddings.
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.
