On Location at Schmincke | Jackson's Art

Tucked away in an unassuming trading estate in Erkrath, Dusseldorf, lies the operations of one of the world’s most important manufacturers of artist’s colours; Schmincke. Founded over 140 years ago by chemists Hermann Schmincke and Josef Horadam, Schmincke started purely as a supplier of Old Master natural resin oil paints. Today it is a global brand, offering a vast array of high quality professional oil, acrylic, watercolour, pastel and printmaking colours and mediums.
We travelled to Germany to visit the Schmincke factory, where paint experts work to produce Mussini Resin Oil Colours, Horadam Watercolour, Primacryl Acrylics, and so much more.

I can't get enough of watching art supply-related factory tours and making-of videos, and would love to see more such videos on your channel.

[@OrigamiTwist]

I second this! It's so satisfying!

[@LauraGomez-bl2so]

Oh my god, filling the watercolour pans - so satisfying!

[@AdventuresWithRobin]

Yummm, I can't wait to get my hands on some supergranulating colours!

[@ComingWithTheClouds]

Thoroughly enjoyed watching this.

[@sixpotshot]

so so interesting! Thank you for making this amazing stuff available for all of us to enjoy, much appreciated.

[@kristiw.1823]

Love seeing the "making of" for art supplies! If you could get a tour of Roman Szmal, that would be amazing!

[@sandfly60]

This is an Art junkies delight. Like a lolly shop for big kids! 🤤😍 Thankyou

[@SW-lw6mt]

I hope they find more eco friendly packaging for the pastels. Fascinating to see the factory process and the amount of manual work still involved.

[@awatercolourist]

I’d like to see Roman Szmal’s factory/workshop.

[@goszcz7026]

I would love that as well!

[@parkinho635]

Wow~!! That's how the ingredients are made. I'm excited to see the video.

[@MusingsFromTheDen]

I absolutely love these videos. 😊

[@sniperwipers]

[@Pamcreatesjournals]

[@knowthyselfandyoullknowthe8216]

I would love to be payed to do watercolor swatches all day 😍 #dreamjob 🙃❤

[@lynnetiltman1001]

Very interesting thank you

[@bluewren65]

I could watch machines pooping out colour all day long. Hands up who wants to work in the testing room?

[@acatinthecradle]

What is the white powder going into the pigment and binder?

I was wondering the same!

[@miaomiaochan]

My guess would be Titanium White pigment or whiting chalk.

[@awatercolourist]

First!
