What makes Tingiri watercolors unique?
Tingiri handmade watercolors are born from a research project dedicated to the natural pigments and chromatic identity of Sicily. Every color is mixed by hand in small batches, using carefully selected natural and mineral pigments.
Unlike mass-produced watercolors, our professional handmade watercolor paints offer richer pigment concentration, unique granulation effects, and a behavior on paper that artists immediately recognize as different — more alive, more authentic.
From Italy to the world: Tingiri ships internationally so artists everywhere can experience the colors of Sicily.
