This set includes Ultramarine and iron oxide handmade paint dots. The ultramarine blue is a granulating paint and creates interesting textures on it's own and in mixes.  These are the same paints as in the Earth Primary set, minus the burnt sienna. Check out the mixing chart to see the variety of colors you can create with this set.  

Colors Included:
Ultramarine blue (red shade): PB29
Yellow Iron Oxide: PY43
Red Iron Oxide: PR101
Lightfastness:  Excellent
Vegan: No

Ingredients and process:
These watercolors are handmade and hand mulled in small batches and are made with high quality pigment, gum arabic, corn syrup, glycerin, potassium sorbate (preservative) and ox gall (dispersant). The paint contains no fillers and is carefully formulated to be highly pigmented and easy to activate. While some of my paints are vegan, this set is not vegan due to the inclusion of ox gall.

Care Instructions:
Store paints in a cool dry location and let them dry after use and before storage. Doing so will help prevent mold from forming on your paints. A preservative is included to limit the risk of mold growth, but it may happen regardless if stored improperly, especially in hot humid conditions.  I formulate my paints in a dry climate, and watercolor paint responds differently depending on humidity and climate.  If you live in a humid and/or hot climate, paints may get slightly sticky or take longer to dry.  If you have any issues or concerns with the paint, please contact me directly.

We aim to be consistent and precise, but due to the handmade nature some variation and imperfections may occur (i.e. cracks, small bubbles). Fortunately, these imperfections do not affect the quality of the paint.  The colors may also look different in person than they do on your screen/monitor. The paper quality and type will influence the colors and granulation you can achieve. We recommend 100% cotton paper to showcase the paints at their best. Lightfast ratings are currently based on pigment information, we'll be doing our own lightfast testing and sharing the results when they're ready.
