La Nouvelle Vague Couleurs

How are the colors of La Nouvelle Vague created?

The colors are created as a collection, two or three times a year, depending on the mood! I'm inspired by a theme, collect images in a mood board, then choose four or five shades that I'd like to add to my palette. I then work the pigments to obtain these shades, and sometimes let myself be seduced by surprise colors born of an unexpected mix of materials!

What makes them special?

La Nouvelle Vague Couleurs' unique shades will seduce you with their creamy texture and hyper-pigmentation, allowing them to be used either as dense as gouache or as light as watercolor; the choice is yours!

And their manufacture?

All colors are handmade in Paris in our Place des Vosges workshop using products that are non-toxic for both people and the environment. Pigments from the Luberon, good honey from Brittany, gum arabic, a few essential oils, a little patience, and a lot of passion; and presto! Our colors are ready to join your palette!
