Wallace Seymour Vintage Watercolours Series A represents the most accessible entry point into one of Britain's most distinctive fine art paint ranges. Priced at £8.85 per tube, Series A colours are built around dependable, lightfast pigments that form the foundation of any serious watercolour palette — your essential yellows, blues, reds, and earth tones, each hand-milled in small batches at the makers' studio in the Yorkshire Dales.
Unlike student-grade watercolours, which bulk out pigment with fillers, every Wallace Seymour colour is single or limited pigment where possible, giving artists clean, transparent washes and reliable mixing behaviour. Series A is where most watercolourists start their Wallace Seymour collection — and where many find they have everything they need.
What makes Wallace Seymour different Wallace Seymour paints are made in small batches by Pip Seymour and Rebecca Wallace, using traditional hand-milling techniques and pigments sourced from specialist suppliers worldwide. The result is a depth of colour and transparency that mass-produced ranges simply cannot replicate.
Who is Series A for? Series A is ideal for watercolourists moving beyond student-grade paints for the first time, artists building a core working palette, and painters who value clean pigments over novelty colours.
