In 48-Color Bijoux Box, Contains 65 Colors
Greenleaf & Blueberry Artisanal Handmade Watercolors
This palette is comprised of 65 magnetized Half-Pans of color enclosed in a Limited Edition Lapis Lazuli Blue Enamel Bijoux Box, and accompanied by a hand-painted color chart, painted on beautiful Arches watercolor paper. (Pans are NOT wrapped but they ARE magnetized.)
This is the largest color collection we offer. It features a selection of our Limited Edition Annual Release colors, new colors released in 2025, new colors that do not yet have a release date, beloved long retired colors - including Mayan Blue #3 and Chilean Lapis Lazuli. It even includes our Afghani Lapis Lazuli and very rarely in stock YInMn Blue.
This collection is named the Amadeus Palette because a long-ago critic of Mozart once quipped, “Too many notes!” Similarly, we believe there is no such thing as too many colors. While painting with a limited palette can be a wonderful exercise and produce beautiful results, it does not mean you should limit your exploration of color.
2024 was a particularly exciting year because a new Mozart song was most unexpectedly just been released... There has been a big project to catalog all of Mozart’s music, and in the process a composition that he wrote in his youth was uncovered. The discovery was made in September of 2024, and already it has been recorded and just recently released.
Because of some similarities to Mozart’s famous “Eine Kleine Nachtmusik” this new piece has been named “Ganz Kleine Nachtmusik” or A Very Little Night Music. It is Serenade in C Major, K 648. What an exquisite treat! Click here to listen to it.
This palette features the most stunning pigments, from across the world, some of which were prized by the very first painters making marks on cave walls and others were treasured by Renaissance Masters. It also encapsulates a veritable timeline of scientific discoveries in the field of pigments spanning back from hundreds of years ago to today - Lapis Lazuli to Smalt to Ultramarine Blue to YInMn Blue.
