Verdaccio is made according to an ancient recipe of Cennino Cennini, based on green earth and black iron oxide. Morellone is a strong, opaque iron oxide pigment tending to a deep purple tone. In medieval painting, this pigment was often used in the priming of azurite-painted skies.

This selection of colours is available in two sizes. You can choose between the mini metal box with a small colour chart or the twelve-colour watercolour box with a Tintoretto Kazan size 6 synthetic pocket brush. In the mini box option, each godet has a magnet in the base to keep the paints in place while travelling. The twelve-colour box has six free spaces, ideal for adding more colours of your choice.

Each palette is packaged in original marbled paper, made by a Florentine artisan workshop, and comes in a gift box.

Artisan process and quality

Handmade in Assisi, A. Gallo watercolours are made according to a traditional recipe with pure pigments, gum arabic, local honey, rosemary essential oil and a wetting agent. This artisanal process results in a highly pigmented and luminous paint, which is wonderfully activated by water.

A. Gallo Colors are 100% handmade. The godets may have small imperfections, such as tiny bubbles or slight marks. This does not affect the quality of the paint and is proof of the handwork behind each unique piece.

Caution: Medium godets pose a choking hazard and are not intended for child use. It is also recommended to keep them out of reach of pets.

Safety and sustainability: All A. Gallo Colors watercolours are free of cadmium, cobalt, lead and mercury.
