Naturale 12 palette of special earth, mineral and plant based pigments! Natural tones treasured since antiquity, this collection is inspired by Roman Villa fresco painting. A combination of delicate and intense colors makes this palette perfect for naturalistic botanical artwork and atmospheric landscapes.

Some highlights of this collection include Rosso Ercolano (PR102, PR101) a vibrant red and orange earth blend from near Pompei. Blu di Zirconio (PB71), a surprising mineral blue pigment, often used as a cobalt-free, granulating cerulean. A deep Yellow ochre (PY43) from Morocco.

Morellone (PR101) a powerful, opaque iron oxide pigment that tends towards deep purple. Geniune Indigo (NB1) made from the plant Indigofera tinctoria. And a final favorite because of my Sicilian ancestry, Rosso Sartorio (PR102), a special volcanic earth found near Mount Etna in Sicily!

Handmade watercolor set of twelve individually wrapped half pans in a metal tin with two mixing surfaces, a color chart printed on Arches watercolor paper, and an artist grade pocket brush by Tintoretto size 6. The Naturale 12 handmade watercolor set is packaged with original marbled paper by a Florentine artisan workshop and comes inside an elegant 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 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!

Half pans present a choking hazard and are not intended for use by children. Please also keep out of reach of pets. A. Gallo Colors are all cadmium, cobalt, lead and mercury free.
