About This Product
A special edition for winter 2022, this playful watercolor set from Schmincke features six pastel colors inspired by everyone's favorite fancy cookie, the macaron. These six sweet tones are a limited-edition part of Schmincke's Akademie Aquarell, a dependable and high-quality student grade paint. They're packaged in a metal travel box with a finger loop and mixing space, plus space for six additional colors.
The colors included are Vanilla, Cherry, Lavender, Blueberry, Pistachio, and Cappuccino. For an additional $30, we'll fill the empty spaces in your tin with a six-color Akademie mixing set, including standard Akademie half pans in lemon yellow, cadmium yellow hue, cadmium red hue, magenta, indigo, and cyan.
Made in Germany.
