A. Gallo Handmade Watercolour Set – Illumina

Inspired by manuscript painting traditions, the Illumina is a special edition palette. Handmade watercolour set of nine individually wrapped half pans. The Illumina collection comes in a custom nine colour gift box and is packaged with original marbled paper by Florentine artisan workshop.

Made by hand in Assisi, A. Gallo’s watercolours 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.

Includes nine exquisite earth, mineral and plant based pigments:

• Antique gold (metallic pigment, PY43) – Excellent lightfastness

• Lapis lazuli, Fra Angelico – Excellent lightfastness

• Malachite hue PG7, PG36, PY43, PW4 – Excellent lightfastness

• Mineral violet (PV16) – Excellent lightfastness

• Sepia (PBk9, PBr7) – Excellent lightfastness

• Royal yellow (PY154) – Excellent lightfastness

• Scarlet red (PR254) – Excellent lightfastness

• Permanent carmine (PV19) – Excellent lightfastness

• Viridian hue (PG7, PB29) – Excellent lightfastness

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!
