Our PrimaTek line of watercolors began in 1998 with a cache of Lapis Lazuli. a semi-precious stone that’s prized for its beauty, mystical properties and perfection as a pigment. Our mineralogist sources minerals from all around the world, which we process into pigment and then mill it into paint – click here to flip through our booklet with more details on our manufacturing process.

PrimaTek watercolors offer gorgeous granulation that gives artwork a magical sense of movement and depth. Take a closer look at each of our 36 colors in our Swatch Gallery.
