Ceramic Sun Palette - Warm Tones
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.
These handmade sun shaped palettes contain six paint wells filled with warm reds, yellows and oranges, perfect for painting colourful sunsets or fall forest scenes. They also have a medium sized mixing well in the center, a larger one below and three brush rests along the bottom lip. The sizes of the filled wells vary, with the largest containing about twice as much paint as my standard pans. They’ve been glazed with a matte white, allowing the speckled clay the show through a bit.
The colours in this set from left to right are Grizzly, Goldenrod, Arnica, Sundown, Venetian Red and Bog Cranberry. Full colour descriptions below…

Grizzly: A warm brown ocher with mild granulation and a strong tinting strength.
Goldenrod: A muted gold sienna, rich and textured. A field of late summer blooms, damp in the morning mist.
Sundown: A brilliant tangerine orange for high alpine sunsets. Hematite and goethite in this soil pigment gives it an incredible tinting strength.
Arnica: A brilliant golden yellow. Named for the countless hillsides I crossed this summer, glowing bright in full bloom.
Venetian Red: A bright, warm scarlet red derived from iron oxide tinted clay. This paint has a very clean tone with no separation and minimal granulation.
Bog Cranberry: An interesting, cool red with heavy separation. 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.
