A. Gallo : Handmade Watercolor Paint : Signature Set : Metal Tin : 36 Half Pans with brush in a linen bag

The Signature 36 Watercolor Set from A. Gallo is a vibrant palette of brilliant single pigments and new exclusive secondary color blends from the Signature Collection. The set includes six brand new colours: Ultramarine Turquoise (PB29, PG7), Pyrrole Orange (PO73), Chinese White (PW4), Neutral Tint (PBk7, PR122, PB15:3), Phthalo Blue, RS (PB15:1), and Titanium Yellow Hue (PY3, PW4, PY43).

Highlights of the collection include: YInMn Blue, an exclusive new bright blue pigment that achieves pure color tones that were previously inaccessible on the color wheel. This mixed oxide pigment is made from the very expensive rare earth Yitrium (Y), the extremely rare semi-metal Indium (In), and Manganese (Mn). Transparent Red Oxide (PR101) is a warm rusty orange/sienna colour perfect for adding layers and light to earth tones. Mix this moderately granulating red oxide with Ultramarine Blue for dramatic sky washes or modify Sap Green in landscapes to achieve rich moody greens.

The Signature Set of 36 handmade watercolors in a metal tin includes two mixing surfaces and a color chart printed on Arches watercolor paper. Each half pan is wrapped in watercolor paper with a hand painted sample brushed over it. The set includes a Tintoretto size 0 traditional mop brush and is beautifully packaged with original marbled paper by the Florentine artisan workshop Giulio Giannini e Figlio.

Made by hand in Assisi, A. Gallo 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.
