:: Wabi sabi :: 

These are half pan watercolor paints that have slight and sometimes overt rough surface textures, cracks, or who have shrunk due to variances in temperatures. Although their surface appearance may look more rough, this in no way effects the quality and performance of these paints. 

The wabi sabi aesthetic is a traditional Japanese philosophy of finding beauty in imperfection. These wabi sabi watercolor paints are mystery item so the colors will be chosen at random. Please no specific color requests at this time. 

Our handmade mineral watercolor paints have a beautiful granulation, and can be layered from thick to thin. Artist grade and lightfast, 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.
