This watercolour pastel gouache set includes the dreamiest travel palette of colours set in a reclaimed white birch block from Manitoulin Island and finished with warm beeswax, along with a travel brush, samples of St Armand handmade paper, and a cotton bag for storage and travel.
This palette is an 11-colour spectrum of some of Beam's most popular colours. Paint the rainbow, or mix any two together to create a wide range of hues. Each 1/2" pan is loaded with pigment... a little goes a long way.
All paints are handmade in small batches with local Manitoulin honey, wildcrafted tree sap, hand gathered, washed and sifted Manitoulin stone and the finest lightfast pigments.
About Beam Paints: The result of a multi-generational love of pigment, paint, colour, and innovation, owner and maker, Anong Beam, was taught from a young age how to harvest hematite pigment in the LaCloche mountain range near her home in M'Chigeeng First Nation on Manitoulin Island. Beam Paints draws on her early educations in Indigenous pigment and expands it to encompass all paint traditions. A focus on high quality pigment content creates sublime artist materials, with plastic free packaging.
Lightfast pigments, tree sap, gum arabic, and Manitoulin honey, blend together to create a handmade saturated colour that is a joy to paint with. From thick stripes to fine washes and details, quality is evident in every stroke. Beam's watercolour pans are packaged in slices of cedar and birch offcuts from an Indigenous sustainable lumber operation.
