Grabie × Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco

At Grabie, we believe art should be experienced, explored, and made part of everyday life. We’re proud to bring that belief to a special collaboration with the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco (FAMSF), one of the country’s leading fine arts institutions.

Featuring works from FAMSF’s permanent collection across some of Grabie’s most-loved watercolor sets, the collaboration brings together the legacy of a renowned museum institution with Grabie’s mission to make art and creativity accessible to everyone.

12 Colors Inspired by Russian Hill

Inspired by San Francisco, Made to Go Anywhere

Bring the vibrant spirit of San Francisco wherever you go with this official Grabie × Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco (FAMSF) watercolor palette. Inspired by Harold John Brothers’ Russian Hill, the 12-color palette captures the artwork’s signature sunlit greens, coastal blues, and warm architectural tones. Housed in a compact, travel-friendly metal tin, it makes it easy to carry a little piece of museum-inspired creativity with you—from city sketching to quiet moments at home.
