Maimeri Blu Water Colour |

Maimeri was founded in 1923 by noted Italian impressionist painter, Gianni Maimeri, who was searching to satisfy his own burning desire for artistic excellence in paint. The result of his passion is a line of highly concentrated, light fast water colours with performance unlike most of their mass-produced counterparts. Every colour is made with the best binder available - a gum-arabic from Kordofan, in the Sudan region. The result is an almost completely clear and elastic medium, totally soluble in water, yielding the purest and most brilliant tones. To see the Maimeri Blu colour chart please click here. |
