WELCOME

‘Creating colours brings me pure joy because colour has the power to transform lives. I feel incredibly lucky to be #thecolourwoman and to have found something I truly love.’ – Francesca Wezel, founder and director

Welcome to Francesca’s Paints; established in 1996, we are paint artisans and we make everything by hand and eye in our studio in Battersea.

Our velvety, light-absorbing paint is made with great care and love. Each colour collection has a story, each bespoke bucket of paint is hand-mixed, and our beautiful colour charts are hand-painted.

Francesca Wezel, Creator and Owner of Francesca

Introducing our new colour collection - Donne D'Arte

Plautilla's Graphite from the Donne D'Arte Collection in Eco Emulsion

This collection is dedicated to the few Women Artists of the Renaissance who had the chance and determination to make beautiful art and succeed in a world dominated by men, as well as to those women who couldn’t, whose art will never be shared with the world. It is a celebration of, and a love letter to, the Renaissance women and to all the women who keep creating and and transforming our world.

Colour of the Month

Pithora White

The colour of the month is Pithora White from the Indian Summer Collection. We have been mixing extraordinary colours lately—some very rich, some very strong, and there has been a return of grey and green. However, the colour that got the most attention alongside Chalk and Milk Buti, has been Pithora White, a precious off-white with a personality. It is made with all-natural pigments and a dash of green. Off whites have been incredibly popular this summer. They are wonderful for bringing a touch of freshness and calm.

In Colour Collection: Indian Summer

Indian Summer

Following the success of their “Mughal Spring’ collection, Aleta Bartel-Orton and Francesca Wezel created ‘Indian Summer’ to capture shades of the warm autumn months of a prolonged summer. Once again, the collection has been designed to co-ordinate with Aleta’s range of fabrics and wallpapers, which are inspired by nature and…

As well as the thrill of seeing all of the gorgeous colours that Francesca has created herself in her studio, she is brilliant at colour matching to other paints, fabrics and furnishings.

I feel so lucky and excited to be working with her and to be using the delicious combinations of her chalky textures and beautiful colours.

Jenny Phillips | Dragonfly Design

I met Francesca very soon after she first set up business in Battersea; I was charmed by her colour charts and how she developed the colours from her love of travel, bringing the feel of the places that she visited into her paints.

Very soon after we met I realised that her Italian passion was tempered by the German efficiency and reliability that she has inherited from her father’s family. She has always produced and delivered on time and her colours are always consistent and the quality is beautiful.

Together Francesca and Camillo make a wonderful team and I have always felt so welcome when I visit them and discuss ideas.

Francesca’s colours in her wonderful chalky paints are so delicious and rare! A brilliant colourist, at the drop of a hat she can mix a special colour for a scheme in that perfect shade which doesn’t exist in any paint card (and then repeat it if you need more!). For colour enthusiasts, to work with her is joyful and rewarding, every colour a winner!

Sally Thompson | Best client

We live in a world that has become so black and white. Francesca’s passion for her work restores the nuance of colour to our lives. She may not fully realize how precious her gift is and how deeply she draws on her Italian heritage of mastery with colour. Her paints are on the walls of two houses in my family. It matters a great deal to us that Francesca has created her palettes and paints with such sensitivity to the environment.

Emma McGrath | Interior designer and client

Having been involved on a large project in Ireland on a number of houses Francesca’s Paints was DEFINITELY the top supplier! All Francesca’s colours are GORGEOUS and she is super efficient and does exactly as it says on the “tin”.We will always use her, you must too.

Clare Lewis | Retrouvius Architectural Reclamation & Design

Francesca is a total joy to work with. Her paints are wonderfully chalky and her colours have depth and life. We constantly work with unique, vintage materials and textiles so having the opportunity to bespoke colour match is incredibly helpful. Thank you!

Miv Watts | Interior Designer

I have used Francesca’s paints on all my projects for well over a decade. Her colour mixing service is impeccable. We have designed colours together from tiny scraps of William Kent 18th century velvet’ to bits of bark off Eucalyptus trees. Who else could offer such a service! Her paints are deep and magical and any decorator , worth his salt, will relish the fascinating adventure of applying them; watching the texture appear on drying. Vive Colour, Texture and Joy. Vive Francesca Queen of Pigment!
