Earth - Handmade Watercolor Kit

This pocket set includes special, historical earth pigments from the Mediterranean region.

Raw sienna (PY43)
Ercolano Red (PR102, PR101)
Burnt umber, dark from Cyprus (PBr8)
Green earth, warm (PG23)
Verdaccio (PBr7, PBk11)
Morellone (PR101)

Verdaccio is made according to an old Ceninno Cennini recipe of green umber and black iron oxide. Morellone is a powerful, opaque iron oxide pigment that tends towards deep purple. In medieval painting, this pigment was often used in the under painting of azurite blue skies.

This assortment of colors is available in two sizes. Select either the mini metal tin and a tiny color chart or the twelve color watercolor tin with synthetic Kazan pocket brush size 6 by Tintoretto. In the mini tin option, each pan has a magnet on the bottom to hold paints in place while you are traveling. The twelve color watercolor tin has six free spaces, perfect to fill with more colors of your choice.

Each palette packaged with original marbled paper by a Florentine artisan workshop and comes in a gift box.

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 imperfections like small bubbles and minor blemishes. This is a sign of the human touch that goes into making each and every pan and does not affect the quality of the paint.

Half pans present a choking hazard and are not intended for use by small children. Please also be mindful of your pets. All cadmium, cobalt, lead and mercury free.
