About

We feel so lucky to create paints in this beautiful place, surrounded by olive trees, golden sunlight, and the inspiration of Italy’s slower pace of life. It’s here, in this haven, that we carefully craft handmade watercolors and gouache using traditional techniques. Every pan of paint is born from high-quality pigments, sustainable materials, and a love for artistry.

Our paints are more than tools; they’re little stories—beginning in our hands and continuing in yours. Each time you open a new pan of color, think of it like a bottle cast out to sea. We’ve started the journey, and now it’s in your hands to continue. What will you create with it? What emotions will you express, what colors will you blend, and how will you share your unique voice with the world?

We believe in the beauty of handmade, in celebrating the intentional, and in offering artists like you eco-friendly, high-pigment paints that spark creativity. When you receive one of our paints, you’re not just holding a product—you’re holding a piece of our story, the rhythm of mulling pigments, the charm of wrapping each tin, and the care we pour into every detail.

Thank you for being part of this shared journey—where nature, art, and the timeless craft of paintmaking meet in every brushstroke.

With love and gentle strokes, Art to Basic
