Italian best Earth Pigment Assortment

We offer only the highest quality pigments, manufactured specifically for fine artists using age-old recipes.

Follow in the footsteps of the Old Masters and make your own paint simply by mixing our pigments and binders.



How To Make Your Own Paint:

Egg Tempera: Use the yolk of an egg with 1:1 distilled water.

Oil Paint: Mix with linseed, walnut or poppy oil - thin with turpentine.

Watercolour: Soak ground Gum Arabic in water and mix it with the pigment.

Acrylic: Mix with our binder, Dispersion K498.

Ink: Mix with our binder, Shellac Ink Diluter.



Why Use Pigments Over Tubed Paint?

In addition to the pigment and binder, many manufacturers add inert fillers, stabilisers and preservatives to extend the volume of tubed paint, increase shelf life and cut their costs, which has a negative effect on the quality.

Pigments, pure and free of additives, have increased vibrancy, longevity, stability, lightfastness, are vastly cheaper and never expire!
