A mini set of Aquarius paints in half-bones by Roman Szmal, ideal for sketching urban landscapes.

The small, compact metal case contains 8 half-bones, but has room for up to 12, allowing you to expand your palette. The carefully selected colors meet the needs of artists who paint outdoors. Thanks to its small , the set fits in a pocket, making it extremely practical. The tray is equipped with a finger holder and surfaces for mixing colors, providing comfort in your work. 

Aquarius watercolor paints are the flagship product of the Roman Szmal brand. These paints are the highest quality Polish watercolors, manufactured in Kraków. 

Aquarius paint means 165 colors' palette. All of the colors are 100% based on natural pigments. They contains no synthetic substitute. The binder of each of the paints is gum arabic and bee honey. Thanks to the addition of honey, the paints retain moisture for a long time.

 

The palette also includes perfectly composed original colors of Roman Szmal: Aquarius yellow, Aquarius red, Aquarius green, Aquarius black.

All Aquarius watercolors have a very high lightfastness, i.e. the 7th or 8th degree in the Blue Wool Scale (the scale is eight-degree), which means 100-200 years color durability in museum conditions (with proper exposure to light).

Labels on watercolor half-pans are made of watercolor paper, hand-painted with original paint. The packaging contains information on lightfastness, granulation, transparency and the degree of pigment penetration into the paper.
