A. Gallo : Handmade Watercolor Paint : Naturale 3 Palette Metal Tin 12 Half Pans with Brush in a gift box

<p>The A. Gallo Naturale 3 Palette Metal Tin Set of 12 Half Pans is part of the A. Gallo Naturale series of watercolor sets featuring carefully formulated and beautiful natural tones.</p><p>This palette includes five colors made with Iwa-Enogu Japanese mineral pigments. These pigments have undergone a special elutriation process, achieving precise and uniform particle sizes. Particles of nearly identical size and shape offer exceptionally clear colors with a unique texture. Orange Iron Oxide and Tourmaline are made with Iwa-Enogu single pigments.</p><p>Two of the most exclusive colors in the Naturale 3 palette are Stil De Grain Light, a surprisingly bright, transparent yellow lake pigment made from Buckthorn berries, and Han Purple, a granulating and regal purple historic pigment first created in ancient China over 2,500 years ago.</p><p>The historic trio of Cinabro Hue, Azurite Hue, and Malachite Hue are made using an Enogu mineral base of Peach Agate, Sodalite and Amazonite, respectively. This stone pigment base maintains a mineral quality in these copper and mercury-free hues.</p><p>Other colors in this palette include Lilac, a fresh, granulating, delicate purple, and a single pigment Van Dyck Brown made from real German Lignite. Icelandic Red Earth is a semi-transparent pigment with a subtly variegated color display of plum and red ochre tones. This pigment was collected by David Kremer and landscape painter Peter Lang near the volcano Snaefellsjoekull in Western Iceland.</p><p>A. Gallo watercolors are available as individual half pans and in special themed sets. Each half pan is wrapped in watercolor paper with a hand-painted sample brushed over it. The watercolor sets are beautifully packaged with original marbled paper by Florentine artisan workshop Giulio Giannini e Figlio and a color chart printed on Arches watercolor paper. The colors are made by hand in very small batches. The watercolors are cadmium, cobalt, lead, and mercury free.</p><p>Presented in an elegant gift box, the Naturale 3 set includes a watercolor tin with two mixing surfaces, a color chart printed on Arches watercolor paper, and a synthetic size 8 Kazan series 1327 pocket brush by Tintoretto.
