Ceramic Sun Palette - Alpenglow
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 the colours from the Alpenglow set. They also have an empty mixing well in the center. 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.
*I have one palette with a small chip on one corner. It’s still completely useable, just with some cosmetic imperfections, so I’ve discounted it.
The colours in this set, from left to right, are Cirque, Larch, Mountain Hemlock, Moraine, Grizzly and Sundown. Full 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.
