This matchbox sized watercolour paint set was made specially for the Royal Academy shop by Lilian May to coincide with the Kiefer / Van Gogh exhibition. The set features 8 hand mulled colours inspired by the palette of Vincent van Gogh.
"What fascinated me most as I worked with the Royal Academy to bring together this set of colours from Vincent Van Gogh's palette was the clash of ancient earth pigments and vibrant modern hues. He brought together warm, earthy ochres with vivid new colours like Viridian and cobalt blue on his canvases to mesmerising effect!" Will, the founder of Lilian May.
Each paint is handmade which means they can have cracks in the surface or small bubbles. Unlike factory made watercolours which are squeezed out the machinery in long solid rectangles and precisely cut and placed into their plastic pans, Lilian May hand pours each colour into its ceramic well.
Materials: plastic-free paint, Ceramic tray, paper box.
