The Akademie range is vegan. So the black is not PBk9 but rather PBk6. :) The Akademie paints are quite easy found open stock in Germany/Austria.
Gah, you're right!! Oops!! That's really interesting, I wish I could've mentioned this in the video! =_=
I had been wondering how big the differences between Akademie and Horadam were, thank you for making this comparison yo!
Awesome! I'm happy it was interesting :)
For those in the US who are interested in these paints, Schmincke makes an advent calendar that contains the full set pluss one horadam paint. It is available on Amazon for about 40 dollars. You need to get a tin. But after watching this video and other research it feel it is a good starting point for Schmincke paints and you could add single stock horadam paints
Yes! I agree! That's how I got my Akademie paints. However, the Calendar comes with 23 Akademie halfpans and one Horadam full pan. It doesn't come with the full set (which is why I ended up not having the Akademie Payne's Grey). I have a video where I open and showcase the Advent calendar from a previous year in my archive, too! :)
I never even knew of the student range and never have seen them in a store. Thanks for all the information. Very much appreciated.
i believe akademie is distributed by grumbacher in the us under grumbacher academy ? hence not many people in the us dont really know about the line :D
Grumbacher Academy is not the same as Schmincke Akademie. You can read more about the Grumbacher/Schmincke thing here : www.chartpak.net/schmincke

They are very difficult to find in stores here in North America. It's much easier to find the professional range :)
Thanks Eve.
THANK YOU! I’ve been looking for this data for ages, greatly appreciated.
You're welcome! I'm glad it was helpful! :)
Really neat to see them side by side!
Thank you so very much for matching the numbers. Very helpful. 😀
While Schmincke Akademie is easy to find here in Germany, I would rather go the extra Mile and start out with Horadam right away. The paints have a nicer flow in my opinion, maybe because of the oxgall.
The Akademie paints are quite pricey for a student range and there are other choices if you simply want to try out watercolors like Van Gogh or White Nights.
The reason why Akademie can have a good appeal is for us outside of Germany. There's often a really nice Holiday palette of 12 Akademie paints released every year and it's a bit easier to acquire, and quite affordable. And the tins are really lovely :)
I bought a tin of akademie but ... for the tin ... I use mostly Horadam and was on the fence if I should keep the Akademie or just sell them. But after watching this, I will keep these for my sketchbook, I can even do color mixing with the Akademie as so many colors use the same pigments.
Thank you!
Simple ans brilliant video! Thank you eve!
Just what I needed! Thank you!
Great comparisons! I am surprised by how little difference there seems to be even in the stregth of the washes. Do you find the professional range to layer more easily?
Thanks so much, Eve! This has been greatly helpful 🙂
Glad it was helpful! thank you!
Thank you!
You're welcome!
The 24 set of Akademie and the 24 of Horadam are only $40 difference. While I love to hear that there is barely any difference, i see the Naples yellow and Naples yellow reddish difference you noted and the Horadam 24 doesn’t have the Naples yellow reddish only the original Naples yellow and as a portrait artist I need both lol. For only $40 I’m glad there’s not much difference but if I was going to spend over $100 for a palette I may as well spend the other $40 and get the professional. I tried Sennelier La Petite Aquarelle and wasn’t impressed. Their professional line is much much better although they’re not my most favorite. This is my next big watercolor purchase and I’m grateful for the review and knowing that there’s little difference in either one I choose.
I just recently reviewed the two new special edition sets and the Carmine seems to be a lot more muted professional grade and I noticed that the botanical set has Saturn red which is a fugitive color. The sepia brown is also much more chalky than the professional grade while lemon ultramarine Mae green and Quinn gold remained very close to professional grade I could not tell the difference
Fantastic review!
Thank you! Glad you liked it! :)
Thanks, Eve. Much appreciated 🙋🏼♂️✅ from the U.K.
You’re welcome 😊
("Hi!" from Canada!! ❤)
Very interesting. Thank you.
Thank you! :)
This is a great video and made me settle on the choice of getting the horadam set! I also live in Canada, and I was wondering if there were customs buying from Jacksons?
Awesome! :D
It depends, there's always a risk of getting picked at customs, but I've had good luck so far with my Jackson's orders :)
I also did a comparison test and found hardly any difference between the two. Agree with you on your result and conclusion.
I'm glad you came to the same conclusion! The colors are so true between the two paint ranges!
Thank you, helped me very much! :)
You're welcome! :)
Should I get schmincke? I have Daniel smith watercolors and really love it. I'm saving money to get more watercolors.
It's really a matter of your personal preference. If you love Daniel Smith and are happy with them, you can save up to buy some more. There's no good or bad paint here, just whatever one you prefer to use :)
looks great, so much better than cotman paints!
INDEED! Definitely a better choice, if one has access to both!
(It’s a shame these are difficult to obtain in Canada.)
I knooooow ToT
(Paintspot has a few Akademie sets, but I haven't found a place that sells open stock pans bit.ly/3GMuAar )
akademie or horadam..which one is better one?
Both are good. Akademie is the student range, Horadam is the professional range :)
I wish I had access to Akademie watercolors! I’ve been wanting to buy horadams but alas, they’re wayyyy out of my price range lol. Academie watercolors are a bit cheaper, but I can’t seem to find them in the US. *sigh
Not sure what your budget is but you could order from Jackson’s, a lot of American artists do. They are doing 3 x 15ml schminke tubes (2 different sets) for $22 (link below) - I built my schmincke set up by ordering one or two pans at a time. Took me a few months but I now have an 18 pan set.
Kyomii Oh! Haha thanks I didn’t think of that
Lá Femme I didn’t leave a link sorry! Scroll down, the first two sets are the 22 dollar ones. Very good value for 3 x 15ml tubes! www.jacksonsart.com/schmincke-horadam-watercolour-sets
Amazon has them
Kyomii yay, I’m waiting for my new watercolors from Jackson’s;) love this shop;)
I am sad you didn't mix colors, that's when you see the real difference in both products.
What do you mean?
