Wetlands Palette - Metal Tin
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. Our pans are poured and dried in layers to minimize bubbles and cracks and to make sure they’re as full as possible.
The Wetlands Palette - This palette includes halfpans of four watercolours; Nettle, Marsh Marigold, Heron and Bog Cranberry. Each colour has been crafted using mineral and/or botanical pigments to capture just some of my favourite sights in the various wetlands near my home. Some colours were inspired by recent visits to these lands, others were born in the hope of seeing them again soon. Individual colour descriptions are below.

Nettle - A bright green named for a plant that often takes root in disturbed soils, and is often the first sign of spring near my home. This paint has some granulation thanks to the indigo, and when lots of water is used the blue tones seperate out slightly giving some texture.
Marsh Marigold - A mellow, buttery yellow. Smooth in application with minimal granulation and no seperation.
Heron - A muted steel blue with mild granulation. Made from a mix of both mineral and botanical pigments.
Bog Cranberry - An interesting, cool red with heavy seperation. The larger pigment particles settle out in the grooves of the paper for a dramatic show of texture. Named after a very special plant that grown in alpine bogs here on Vancouver Island.
