This matchbox sized watercolour paint set was made specially for The Courtauld shop by Lilian May to coincide with Monet and London: Views of the Thames. This paint set was made to include the same pigments used by Claude Monet in his paintings of London.
"I can't think of an artist whose palette and use of colour was more important to the history of art. The pigments in the watercolour set I've created for The Courtauld include a collection of those Claude Monet frequently used and some inspired by his beautiful London paintings." - 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, we hand pour each colour into its ceramic well.
