A. Gallo : Handmade Watercolor Paint : Full Pan : Tyrian Purple

SKU WGF219

A. Gallo watercolors are available as individual half pans and full pans, and in special themed sets. Each pan is wrapped in watercolor paper with a handpainted sample brushed over it. The watercolor sets are beautifully packaged and include 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. A. Gallo Handmade Watercolors have been developed using a contemporary approach to historical color. Made by hand in Assisi, the watercolors are crafted according to a traditional recipe of raw pigment, 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. The binder is made from pure lumps of Kordofan gum arabic from the Acacia Senegal tree dissolved in distilled water and filtered to remove any impurities. Honey from Umbria is added as a humectant, and rosemary essential oil is added for its natural antifungal properties.
