Every year, picturesque Italy gathers the world’s watercolour community for the large-scale Fabriano in Acquarello festival. This year, ROSA had the honour of presenting the entire palette of professional watercolours from ROSA Gallery — 90 colours in tubes and pans — on the international stage.
The creative location brought together artists from all corners of the world: Chile, Mexico, Ireland, France, Slovakia, the Czech Republic, Spain, Italy, Ukraine, India, Finland, Germany, Poland, Paraguay, the Netherlands, Sweden, Turkey, Argentina, Denmark, Israel, Belgium, Hong Kong, the UAE, Bulgaria, Macedonia, and Canada.
At the ROSA exhibition stand, festival participants had the chance to try out 10 new watercolour colours for 2025, along with the full ROSA Gallery palette. “Carbon Yellow” captured the hearts of many artists and became a clear favourite at Fabriano in Acquarello 2025.
We’re proud that ROSA watercolours feature in the palettes of many artists around the world. These new colours will enrich their collections and help bring to life fresh ideas inspired by the festival.
We’d like to thank Ukrainian-Dutch artist Yana Ivannikova for showcasing her talent at the ROSA stand. Her watercolour landscape captivated the audience with its light touch, fresh feel, and the warm mood of stormy sea waves.
Joint demo sessions, plein air painting, and sketching in the atmospheric streets and courtyards of historic Bologna, guided tours, a vast exhibition in Fabriano, and an exchange of experience — all this awaited the participants, making the festival a true source of inspiration.
It was a joy to meet watercolour masters and make new friends. We truly appreciate the inspiring atmosphere and the interest shown in the ROSA brand.
We would like to thank the festival organiser, Anna Massinissa, for the incredible atmosphere and the opportunity to be part of the great artistic family of Fabriano in Acquarello!
Until we meet again — with fresh encounters, new ideas, and vibrant colours from ROSA!
