Collection: Watercolour Paints

Professional watercolour paints and sets by ROSA Gallery and ROSA Studio — made in Ukraine, trusted by artists across the UK. Choose from compact travel tins, full studio sets, specialist botanical and urban sketching palettes, or individual open-stock pans to build your own. All sets use full 2.5ml pans, natural gum arabic, and mostly single-pigment colours. Ships from the UK in 1–2 days.

Professional Watercolour Paints — ROSA Gallery & ROSA Studio

Every watercolour set in this collection is made in Ukraine by ROSA — a manufacturer with nearly 30 years of experience developing paints for professional and student artists. Whether you're looking for a complete studio palette, a portable travel tin, or individual pans to replace colours as you use them, you'll find what you need here. All sets ship from the UK.

Why Full Pans?

Every ROSA Gallery set in this range uses full pans — 2.5ml each, not half pans. That's twice the paint per colour, which means longer-lasting colours, easier brush loading with larger wash brushes, and better value per millilitre. Full pans also allow you to squeeze tube paint directly into the well and let it dry for a portable colour — a technique half-pan sets simply can't accommodate properly.

ROSA Gallery vs ROSA Studio

ROSA Gallery is the professional fine art line — single-pigment colours, high lightfastness, organic gum arabic binder, and a palette developed in collaboration with practising professional artists. ROSA Studio is the student and practice line — reliable, consistent, and accessible, developed with input from art school teachers. Both ranges use full pans and share the same commitment to quality manufacturing.

Which Set Is Right for You?

The Urban Sketching 12 is the most compact option — curated for cityscapes, travel, and adding colour to ink drawings. The Classic sets (21, 24, 28, 35 colours) offer progressively larger palettes for artists who want more range. The Botanical 24 features a specialist selection of transparent, single-pigment colours chosen for flower and plant illustration. And the open-stock full pans let you replace individual colours or build an entirely custom palette from over 50 available shades.

Made in Ukraine — Why It Matters

ROSA has been producing artist-quality paints in Ukraine since 1996. For UK artists who moved away from Russian-manufactured watercolours — including White Nights — after 2022, ROSA Gallery has become the most consistently recommended alternative: professional quality, ethical supply chain, same full-pan format.
