A selection of special granulating earth, mineral and plant based pigments. With great attention to detail, these naturale pigments were chosen for their unique atmospheric and organic textures. Elements, divisible into infinitely small pieces without changing their nature, can reveal the nature and complexity of all matter.

Gift to you! Enjoy a special edition sample card of Antique gold with every Elements palette.

Palette highlights include Meteorite brown, made from ground meteorite stones that have fallen to earth as shooting stars. These Chondrites belong to the so-called stone meteorites and are about 4.5 billion years old. Vivianite is a rare blue-gray natural mineral pigment, which is found in organic, phosphate-rich environments, such as peat bogs and clay beds or in crystal form often inside fossil shells or attached to fossil bone. Indigo green is a special dark granulating green made from the precipitation of reseda and indigo plants.

Made by hand in Assisi, our watercolors are crafted according to a traditional recipe of raw pigments, gum arabic, local honey, rosemary essential oil and a wetting agent. This artisanal process creates a very pigmented and luminous paint that activates beautifully when wet.

A. Gallo Colors are 100% handmade. Pans may contain small imperfections like tiny bubbles and minor blemishes. This does not affect the quality of the paint and is a sign of the human touch that goes into making each and every unique pan!

Half pans present a choking hazard and are not intended for use by children. Please also keep out of reach of pets. A. Gallo Colors are all cadmium, cobalt, lead and mercury free.
