Handmade Watercolour Paints

Enjoy the experience of creating with these limited edition watercolour paints sourced straight from the earth!

Each paint colour started as a soil, stone or shell - gathered by my hands during an exploration of various sites across Nova Scotia, Canada. These soils, stones and shells were then ground into fine pigment using mortar and pestle; and the pigment was combined with a handmade watercolour binder (egg white, honey, gum arabic and clove oil). I have sculpted each paint palette using white clay and sustainably foraged clam shells, creating a unique vessel which holds the watercolour paints in place.

*Slight cracking may appear across the surface of your paint wells and some colours might feel "grainier" than others. This is normal and part of the "earth" painting experience! Check back for a video tutorial of what you can expect from your new paints.
