Natural Pigment Watercolor Kits
Natural Pigment Watercolor Kits
OCTOBER WATERCOLOR SETS - Stock date October 15 at 9 am
Two sets of Natural Pigment Watercolor Kits. One Core Color Kit with a set of 6 Colors. Then a second specialized kit with 6 sets of colors that are focused on source, theme, or locality. Doing two sets of 6 half pans of handmade natural pigment paint will allow me to offer a lower price point and explore new color sources.
Activate paints using warm water. Fullness in pans may vary as curing process can cause paint to contract. Due to temperature and moisture shifts during shipping paints can sweat - if so, place in a dry location to cure again.
Water pH and paper that is treated with chemicals or bleached can shift or affect hue saturation since these are living colors.

Tin with half pans of individual natural paint pigment. The material in each paint set may change due to seasons. Each paint takes 1-2 weeks to make as I start from raw material then transform it into lake pigment after which it is suspended into gum arabic while being blended by hand into paint. It then requires 24-48 hours to cure in the paint pans. If you’d like to learn more how to make you own - I have an E-Course available too
