Medieval Watercolor 12 Palette

Description

Uncover the colors of illuminated manuscripts and monastery walls with our Medieval Palette, a curated set of 12 half pans of handmade watercolor crafted from historical pigments. Presented in a sturdy black metal tin, this collection draws on the vibrant natural colors used by medieval artists and scribes, made with traditional materials for a richly expressive painting experience.

Each color in this set is hand mulled and poured in small batches using pure local honey and gum arabic, with a small amount of food grade sodium benzoate preservative. Rooted in both botanical and mineral sources, these colors reflect the earthy brilliance of medieval European art. Perfect for layering, glazing, and precision work. Lightfastness varies by pigment, from the very permanent earths and blacks to the more delicate plant lakes, so see each color's own listing for details.
