:: Garnet Rose ::

Hand-Poured Watercolor Pan

A warm, earthy red inspired by garnet and the fading colors of the garden at season's end. Its softened russet tone recalls dried rose petals, and leaves gathered late in autumn, deeply rooted, softly glowing, and touched with the warmth of dried petals. Garnet Rose carries the character of sun-warmed earth and rosehips gathered at the end of the season, unfolding in cinnamon and terracotta notes.

Each half pan is hand-poured in small batches with authentic crushed garnet, allowing the gemstone to become part of the paint itself. Fine mineral particles remain suspended within the color, lending the wash a subtle luminosity and an intimate, stone-like texture.

As water moves across the page, the garnet may gather into delicate mineral blooms, leaving behind intricate traces of the stone. The exact character of these formations will vary from pan to pan, as each contains its own natural distribution of pigment and crystal.

Rare by nature and impossible to reproduce precisely, Garnet Rose is a paint of quiet distinction—where pigment meets gemstone, and no two pans are quite the same.
