Vibrant, Luminous, and Unique:

Mulling is the art of blending pigments with a binder to create watercolor paints. It's a process that requires patience, precision, and a deep understanding of color. Each pigment is a world unto itself, and every color we produce tells a story. With our handmade watercolors, you can expect unparalleled luminosity, transparency, and depth, infusing your artwork with a brilliance that mass-produced paints simply can't match

Crafted with Care and Precision:

Our artisanal approach to watercolor paints begins with handpicked pigments and a unique binding medium. Every step of the creation process is meticulously attended to, ensuring that each pan is a work of art in itself. The result? A medium that's as expressive as your imagination. It’s all about achieving the perfect texture and consistency for every color. Each paint we produce has the desired characteristics, such as granulation, transparency, or staining, allowing you to create art with the right tools.

Frequently Asked Questions

Proper care is essential for maintaining the quality and longevity of handmade watercolors. Here are some tips:

  • Store them in a dry place to prevent moisture from affecting the paint’s texture.
  • Use an airtight palette for pans to keep them from drying out too quickly.
  • Avoid direct sunlight to prevent fading of pigments.

To use handmade watercolors:

  • Spritz a small amount of water onto the dried pan and let it sit for a few minutes.
  • Adjust the water-to-paint ratio for your desired consistency.
  • Experiment with each color to understand its characteristics.
  • Allow each layer to dry before adding the next to preserve color integrity.
  • Explore blending techniques like wet-on-wet or wet-on-dry.
  • Let your artwork dry completely, as watercolors dry lighter than they appear when wet.

Generally, yes. Handmade watercolors typically come with a higher price tag due to the distinct pigments used, the craftsmanship involved, and the smaller-scale production when compared to mass-produced alternatives.

These are the various sizes available to be customized:

Full pan – 3.5ml

As an artist creating handmade watercolors, I believe they are unique due to several factors:

  • Crafted by Hand: Each batch receives meticulous attention, adding a personal touch and ensuring quality that sets them apart from mass-produced paints.
  • Subtle Variations: The handcrafting process can lead to slight differences in color and texture, giving each paint pan its own character and enhancing the artwork’s depth.
  • Quality Ingredients: I use premium pigments and binders, resulting in rich, vibrant colors with excellent lightfastness and durability.
  • Customization: I offer custom color creations, allowing artists to request specific shades or color combinations tailored to their preferences and projects.
  • Eco-Friendly: My paints are produced in small batches with minimal environmental impact, appealing to artists who prioritize sustainability.
