:: Pansy ::

“The white pink, and the pansy freaked with jet,

The glowing violet, The musk-rose,

and the well-attired woodbine… “

- John Milton

*** 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.
