- Usage: Stockmar Watercolour Paints have a pasty consistency, and have to be mixed with water before using. With a paintbrush, put a dab of paint into a small dish and add drops of water with
a second paintbrush, then mix together. Repeat this procedure until you have the desired colour tone and the paint has an inklike consistency. If you want the paint to be brilliant, use less water; if you want the paint to shimmer slightly and to be more on a pastel side, add more water. It’s best to paint a sample on a piece of normal paper. Then you will discover that you need more paint for an intensive shade of yellow than you do for a similar shade of blue or red. - Once diluted with water, you can keep the remaining of mixed up paint in a closed jar in the fridge.

Why Stockmar paints?
Even though Stockmar paints and products are not completely natural, they are still traditionally and widely used worldwide in Waldorf institutions and homes (where there is a huge emphasis on natural materials) simply because of their uncompromised quality. They meet the highest educational, aesthetic and artistic demands. They make their mark with their vivid and harmonious colors corresponding to Goethe’s color wheel as well their excellent scumbling properties, natural transparency and lightfastness.
About Stockmar:
Based in Schleswig-Holstein, the Stockmar company has been making quality products for art and art teaching for many decades. Hans Stockmar started with beekeeping products and beeswax candles in 1922. Acting on the suggestion of certain art teachers he soon proceeded to develop his modelling wax, and more than 50 years ago the classic Stockmar wax crayon was created. Over time and with Waldorf teachers, Stockmar created other products, most notably the wax crayon, watercolors and wax decorating sheets. Today Stockmar products are known around the world for their uncompromised quality and production adherence to high pedagogical, artistic, social and environmental standards. They are regularly subjected to testing by independent laboratories in Germany to insure their safety and purity. The company’s logo combines the hexagonal form of a beehive with Goethe’s colour circle, representing two essential characteristics of its products. Based on Goethe’s Theory of Color, the color range is consistent throughout the entire Stockmar assortment. Almost all of Stockmar’s art products are available in this wide range of colors which complement each other. Meaning a carmine colored pencil or wax crayon, is the same carmine as the watercolors, modelling beeswax and decorating wax. Therefore the mixing techniques of combining crayons along with watercolors produce a very harmonious effect. This specific choice of colors, the mutual harmony of the individual colors and the excellent mixing capabilities, is what we refer to as the “Stockmar Color Harmony”.
