LayerCake Colour Wheels are a fit-in-your-palm palette of our unique watermedia paint. Each one contains 6 segments, carefully balanced to satisfy creative vibes. LayerCake paint combines the vivid opacity of gouache with watercolour’s ease of use, and the layering abilities of acrylic paint.

When Layercake paint dries it has a divine, velvety surface. Think of it as a liquid Artist Pastel! The golds in the palette work on all surfaces , but look especially good on top of other colours and darker surfaces.

Fridamania is a vibrant, jewel-toned watercolor palette inspired by the iconic Frida Kahlo’s bold artistry and spirit. Featuring six radiant shades perfect for painting flowers, gardens, fabrics, and uplifting abstracts, this palm-sized palette is your passport to limitless colour possibilities.

As you twirl your brush into colour mixing, you’ll not only expand the range of hues at your disposal but also gain a deeper understanding of how colours interact, transforming your artistic approach from the ground up. Whether you’re just beginning your colour journey or looking to push your skills further, Fridamania’s accessible format and rich pigments are designed to spark imagination and fuel growth—one brushstroke at a time.

The colour names reflect Frida Kahlo’s life and inspirations.

  • ‘Everything’s Rosy’ is a the hottest pink magenta and named for Frida’s favourite lipstick.
  • ‘Revolucion’ reflects Frida’s politcal calling. It is a deep, vivid red with a little stand-out sparkle.
  • ‘Los Fridos’ is named for Frida’s happy days spent teaching and mentoring new artists. Her protégées called themselves ‘Los Fridos’ and are reflected in a warm, sunshiney yellow.
  • ‘Bonito’ reflects one of Frida’s many beloved pets. Bonito was a beautiful amazonian parrot.
  • ‘Coyoacan’ is named for the place that lived forever in Frida’s heart.
  • ‘Casa Azul’ is named for Frida’s beautiful Blue House – which you can visit as an incredible Museum in Mexico City ( I have had the remarkable privilege of visiting and 1000% recommend it as a wonderful experience!).
