Italian art restoration work being done with our Classic palette!. 🎨 I recently learned that a lot of painting and fresco restoration work is executed with professional watercolors! According to many schools of thought, art restoration interventions should be reversible. This way, if needed, the changes can be removed to again reveal the original work of art. #renaissance #art #restoration #italia #handmade #watercolors #original #artwork #behindthescenes #agallocolors

Putting the final layer on the pans for our October restock! The final stage, a beautiful culmination of so many variables after a long and careful process. This is Blu di Zirconio (PB71), a surprising mineral blue pigment, often used as a cobalt-free, granulating cerulean. It is one of my favourite signature colors in our Naturale 12 collection! Our restock will be a week from tomorrow, Saturday October 20th at 4pm Italian time (10am ET)! So excited that all of our sets will be back in stock💪🏼 #handmadeinitaly🇮🇹 #handmadewatercolors #natural #pigments #acquerello #inktober2018 #paintersofinstagram #process #pigmenti #watercolorpainting #watercolorartist #blue #zirconium #handmade #artisan #italy #naturalbeauty #earthpigments #culmination #artsupply #watercolor
“Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower.” ― Albert Camus Tree-ripened fruits, warm harvest colors and changing winds- this beautiful season! Landed in Italy last night and am heading home to Assisi from Rome now. My husband has done an amazing job pouring and watching over literally hundreds of pans in my absence in preparation for our restock! 🍁🍂🍃 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. . . #handmadewatercolors #naturalpigments #madeinitaly #inktober2018 #madewith❤
