These artist-grade paints are all hand-mulled in tiny batches by me in Melbourne Australia. I sourced and tested pigments from both local and international suppliers to create this collection. I make my own binder which includes natural ingredients such as gum, honey and a little bit of natural preservative. Each pigment has its own recipe as they react very differently when mixed. I have spent hours and made countless batches of test paint to get a good balance of pigment to binder. Unlike many commercial watercolours, no fillers are used in the process, only binder and pigment. In some colours, up to 70% pigment is used. All pans are hand-poured and dried gradually in three layers to ensure they are fully filled. It takes at least two weeks to complete each pan depending on the weather conditions and the pigment.
Please note, even though I try my best to make each pan perfect, they won't be! Some cracking or tackiness might appear on some colours due to the climate or the pigment. Cracking in the pan or a sticky surface will not affect the use or the ability of the paint to re-wet.
WARNING:
While all colours in this collection are made from non-toxic ingredients, they are not for human consumption. Keep out of reach of small children.
Lightfastness:
The lightfastness rating is 'excellent' for this set. Except for Pink Cloud which has a 'very good' lightfastness rating. The colour index is indicated on the packaging for your information.
