Description
This handmade, homemade watercolour duo is made from the 'English red' pigment & accompanied by its darker, duller cousin. They are basic, primal, simple, timeless colors, made from pure dirt. They are meant for illustration, art, craft, painting, sketching, highlights, old maps & pocket sets. 934 English red soil 935 English brown soil Please mind: MY SWATCHES ARE MADE ON FABRIANO ExTRA WHITE ROUGH WATERCOLOUR PAPER & PHOTOGRAPHED in BRIGHT SUNLIGHT. On other paper, other light, paint may appear different, as is the magic of w.c. paper. A wee bit about my paints: by now I have sampled almost all of the pigments one can think of & have decided that earth & rust suit me best: naturally ground soil like sienna & umbra, & oxides, which offer more than one can imagine! I am endlessly curious about different versions of the same-named product, so I always, when researching the new region, sample Raw Sienna first. Of course, not all can be blacks & browns & ochre, & getting unnaturally vibrant paints is just part of my curiosity: I spend my night mixing this & that, trying new combinations, experimenting & trying to tame various new pigments. My paints are 85%+ pure pigment, which makes their lightfastness absolute, the rest means they are held together by an organic binder, my own homemade honey & Myrtus glycerin. Their naturality makes them unpredictable - some dry like pepper, some never dry - but I like that about them. They are unique & individual. With each new batch, I try to invoke a theme & invent as many new paints as possible, to keep my regular customers thrilled I repeat some of the older recipes, because they never fall out of demand, but mostly, with each new batch, I invent. Because the paints are often made as a unique trial, returns or exchanges are unfortunately not possible. I am always open to new ideas, constructive criticism, suggestions & popular demand! :D There is something wonderful, knowing that these combinations & pigments have been around since the dawn of time & somewhere, long ago, someone just as adventurous wandered around & explored with a very similar palette in their thick woolly pocket :D Handmade Watercolor English Red Soil & Brown Artisan Quality Pigment - Art, Sketching, Painting, Natural, Vintage, Craft, Illustration
