Wallace Seymour Vintage Watercolours Series B sits at the mid-point of the range, priced at £9.30 per tube, and introduces a broader palette of colours that go beyond the essentials. Where Series A gives you the building blocks, Series B adds depth — unusual earth pigments, more complex blues and greens, and colours sourced from mineral origins that behave quite differently from synthetic alternatives.
Many of the Series B colours carry names that reflect their geological or historical origins — pigments drawn from specific locations, quarries, or traditional formulations that have been used by artists for centuries. This gives each colour a character and subtlety that rewards careful exploration on the palette.
Hand-milled in Yorkshire Every tube is produced in small batches at the Wallace Seymour studio, using pigments selected for quality rather than economy. The hand-milling process preserves the granulating and textural qualities that make mineral pigments so distinctive in watercolour work.
Who is Series B for? Series B suits watercolourists who already have a working palette and want to explore more unusual pigments — particularly those interested in granulation, earthy neutrals, and historically-inspired colour palettes.
