Burnt Silk is comprised of natural Iron Oxide in a process that has been perfected by the Japanese for watercolor and woodblock printing. This rare and costly pigment was milled in Japan and has a lovely burnt orange hue. 

A half pan of artist-grade, lightfast watercolor. This watercolor paint has naturally beautiful granulation that can be layered from thick to thin. Each pan is hand poured to exacting traditional recipes and techniques in our studio using the highest quality earth pigments, and natural watercolor binding medium made from distilled water, honey, glycerine, and the sap of acacia trees.

** When purchasing this listing you will receive one half pan of ‘Burnt Silk’ watercolor. 

*** Please choose carefully, our gemstone watercolor paints are accessible to all to purchase and paint with, however, these paints act decidedly different than factory or synthetic watercolors. Because these paints are handcrafted from natural earth minerals and crystals they have a consistency like wet sand and do not disperse or soak into the paper as conventional watercolors do, but rather they hover more gracefully on the surface. We suggest that you add water in a gentle balance being careful to not drown these gemstone paints while working with them and to build up the colors in layers for a deeper saturation of color.  We do not recommend any abrasive scratching and or rubbing with gemstone watercolors. There are no refunds or exchanges for this item. 

  * subject to availability. If you would like a small tin with complimentary letterpress to nestle your watercolors in you can find them here.
