Guerra Paint & Pigment 🎨 is a very unique family-owned shop which was founded in 1986 and is well known among artists for its huge selection of water based single pigment concentrates made in small batches “the old fashioned way” in ceramic mills. The husband and wife owners Jody Bretnall & Seren Morey had to close their wonderful storefront location on East 13th Street in the East Village (as seen in our photo) in 2022 after the new landlord of the building tripled their rent.
Thankfully they were able to consolidate their business to their Williamsburg, Brooklyn warehouse and continue to provide their vast selection of paint pigment choices including many historical, rare and extinct colors collected by founder Art Guerra who passed away in 2021. We miss seeing this shop and its wall of colors. Let us know if you have purchased pigments and paint-making supplies from this lovely shop as we recently met an artist in South Florida at an art fair who told us that he gets all his pigments from the shop.
