:: Penstemon :: 

Penstemon is a ruby red watercolor with a quiet metallic glimmer that lifts each stroke with a soft inner light. The pigment settles smoothly on paper, revealing layered depth and a gentle shimmer that shifts as it dries. Created in a small seasonal batch, it offers a rich, luminous presence that feels both graceful and rare, perfect for work that calls for subtle drama and a touch of brilliance.
