Alpenglow Palette
Understory watercolours are crafted in small batches from natural, earth based pigments. Each pan of paint is carefully mulled by hand with a simple formula tailored to each pigment. Paint pans are poured and dried in layers to minimize bubbles and cracks and to make sure they’re as full as possible.
Alpenglow - A set of six watercolours, created in the image of high alpine peaks and glacial tarns. These colours hold fond memories of time spent up high with the mountains. With cold glacial waters and crisp, fragrant air, wildflowers blowing in the strong winds. The sun dips toward the horizon, and the tall peaks are lit up bright orange for just a few minutes. These are the moments I aim to capture with these colours.
This palette includes six halfpans of paint and a small metal tin for storage. Individual colour descriptions below…

Cirque: A soft teal blue for painting those bright glacial waters. Created from a mix of natural indigo and yellow ochre.
Mountain Hemlock: A deep bluish green, like the weathered trees around an alpine tarn.
Larch: A brighter, more yellow leaning green for layering in morning light or painting lush meadows.
Sundown: A brilliant tangerine orange for high alpine sunsets. Hematite and goethite in this soil pigment gives it an incredible tinting strength.
Grizzly: A warm brown ocher with mild granulation and a strong tinting strength.
Moraine: A deep and striking slate grey, with plenty of texture and granulation. Perfect for painting those high mountain peaks or rocky creek beds.
