This vivid watercolour set has been curated by Beam Paints, and inspired by the natural forest oasis of the beaver pond. These micro climates are a glorious home to birds, amphibians, and flowers, and all are taken care of by the industrious beaver.
This palette comes wrapped in a waxed cloth, perfect for storage and travel, and includes nine colours:
- Spring Green
- Boreal
- Sky Blue
- Rainforest (mica)
- Lake Huron Teal
- Wintery Night (mica)
- Wet Grizzly (mica)
- Robins Egg
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.
