Matchbox Pigment Watercolour Ultramarine
Description
Exclusive to the National Gallery, these high-quality watercolour pigments are hand mulled in Somerset, by family run business Lilian May.
Each palm-sized pigment sits in a ceramic pan from Stoke-on-Trent, stamped with the National Gallery logo. These watercolours fit standard palettes and come in a matchbox-sized box.
These paints are handmade and poured, which means they can have cracks in the surface or small bubbles. Unlike factory-made watercolours, which are machine-pressed into long blocks and precisely cut.
Discover our full range of Matchbox watercolours (5 x 3 cm), available in National Gallery favourites - Green Earth, Burnt Sienna, Yellow Ochre and Vermillion.
Lilian May is a small creative studio that uses traditional crafts and natural materials to make high-quality, handmade and plastic-free art supplies. The family team makes each piece by hand in the Somerset studio. Each individual item is stamped by the makers.
