:: Proteus ::

Proteus is a shapeshifting eclectic Azure blue, and one that does not behave as traditional conventional aquarelle paints. Proteus is a granulating watercolor with lots of texture, and a pigment displacement that is truly unique.*

A half pan of artist grade, lightfast watercolor. 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.

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

 * 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 like waterlilies. 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. There are no refunds or exchanges for this item. 

*** All photographs are taken in natural sunlight, variances of colour appear due to overcast or soft morning light, versus the golden light of the afternoon. Watercolor hues may also vary based upon your device or computer monitor settings.
