Indigo: This is a robust and deeply granulating navy blue derived from an extract of Japanese Indigo (Persicaria tinctorium). This paint has an incredible tinting strength, so a little goes a long way!
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.
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 separate out slightly giving some texture.
Arnica: A brilliant golden yellow. Named for the countless hillsides I crossed this summer, glowing bright in full bloom.
Goldenrod: A muted gold sienna, rich and textured. A field of late summer blooms, damp in the morning mist.
Morchella: A rich, warm and earthy umber. The colour of morel mushrooms peaking up through the charred soils of wildfires past.
Grizzly: A warm brown ocher with mild granulation and a strong tinting strength.
