Monte Amiata Volcanic Natural Pigments Watercolour Set
Consider the paint set here presented, the single malt of pigments - all collected from Mt Amiata nearby Siena in Tuscany, Italy. Now (and for a long time) a dormant volcano, Mt Amiata was from 1870 until 1980 known for its extraction of Cinnabar. Many of the included colours are conducive to granulation, a phenomenon highly prized by many watercolourists whereby the pigment opens-up and splits adding layers of texture. Recommended for life drawing, preliminary sketch and all in matter of expressive manner.
