Natural Pigment Honey Watercolour Half Pans 17 Colours

Natural Pigment Honey watercolour paint Half Pans.

Made from scratch in Folkestone.

"From ancient methods to modern sustainability."

Our paints begin life in Folkestone Harbour Yarn's Naturally Dyed wool range, where natural pigments first bring colour to knitting yarns and socks. In keeping with our Studio's dedication to sustainability, the leftover dye from each bath is carefully reclaimed, separated from the water, and transformed into a smooth, 100% natural watercolour base

Every pigment is hand-ground in small batches using traditional methods that trace back to the Ancient Egyptians and even earlier civilisations.

The result is a collection of watercolours that embody both heritage and environmental responsibility - paints that allow artists to create with beauty, history, and care for the planet.

Ingredients are naturally extracted pigment, local honey, gum arabic and clove oil.

How to use:
1 - Lightly wet the pan or dot with a few drops of water.
2 - Allow the paint to rest for 3-4 minutes so the natural binder can soften.
3 - With a brush, gently work the surface to lift the pigment.
4 - Apply directly to your watercolour paper, or transfer to a palette to mix and blend colours as desired.

Please note that these watercolours may perform slightly differently to store bought, factory made, synthetic pigment paints. This is because of their 100% natural base and pigment extracted from natural dye plants. The Clove oil acts as a natural preservative. The honey may make them 'sticky' after use so allow pans to air dry after use.
