ROSA Gallery Botanical Watercolour Set — 35 Full Pans, Metal Case, Ukrainian Artist Edition

35 Botanical Watercolour Full Pans — Curated for Flower and Plant Illustration.

The ROSA Gallery Botanical 35 brings together the most comprehensive botanical watercolour palette in the ROSA Gallery range — six rose and red tones, two quinacridone colours, Opera Rose, Magenta Rose, Black Grape, and a full range of transparent greens and blues, all chosen according to the working palettes of professional Ukrainian botanical illustrators. The packaging features original watercolour artwork by Ukrainian artist Olga Kornienko — "A Rose in Bloom" — painted using ROSA Gallery paints.

Why This Set Is Different

Botanical illustration depends on transparency — thin glazes that let light reflect from the white paper surface and create the luminous quality that defines skilled plant and flower painting. Every colour in this set was chosen for that quality. Eighteen of the 35 colours are single-pigment, giving you clean, predictable mixes throughout the palette.

The rose and red range alone covers six distinct shades — Cadmium Red Light, Flame Red, Bright Red, Madder Red, Madder Rose, and Opera Rose — allowing you to move through the full spectrum of petal tones without mixing from scratch every time. Quinacridone Violet and Quinacridone Lilac add the transparent purples that botanical work demands. Black Grape creates rich, luminous darks in shadow areas of burgundy flowers, dark dahlias, and overripe berries — nothing like a standard black.

The Packaging

The box is decorated with "A Rose in Bloom" — an original watercolour painting by Ukrainian artist Olga Kornienko, created using ROSA Gallery paints. This is not a generic art print; it's a specific work by a specific artist, painted in the medium you're buying. It makes the set genuinely distinctive as a gift.

The Case

The metal case is built for active use. A finger holder on the base allows comfortable one-handed holding while painting — no flat surface needed. Two mixing palettes of different configurations are integrated into the lid. A dedicated pan insert holds all 35 colours securely. Everything stays in place even when the case is picked up and inverted.
