Superior quality watercolours, MaimeriBlu pans are still made by hand to ensure that the paint is not adulterated with additives or artificial processes which would alter its genuine quality. Maimeri still performs a number of stages in the traditional manual preparation of their individual pans. Thus the purity of formula and composition that is the true quality of these watercolours is preserved.

In designing the palette of 72 colours, preference was given to the pigments offering the greatest transparency, without prejudice, attempting to achieve top colour quality and lightfastness in the simplest possible way. Over 70% of MaimeriBlu colours are pure, consisting of a single pigment bound with authentic top quality gum arabic from Sudan and distilled water. The clear, fresh tone of watercolour painting is the result of the exceptional clarity of the colours. MaimeriBlu Superior Watercolours are pure, simple and extraordinarily transparent like all MaimeriBlu colours.
