Information from their website:
“Our watercolors are crafted according to a traditional recipe of raw pigments, gum arabic, local honey and rosemary essential oil and mulled by hand on a glass slab. Honey is added to help the paints retain water and increase their longevity.”
My Verdict:
This is a brand with a difference. All of the colors are resistant to cauliflowering, even the ones that you would expect to cauliflower such as Phthalos and Quinacridones. There are also lots of granulating colors and even granulation in colors that do not normally granulate. If you want to see how special these paints are, I recommend their signature set as it’s a very well selected set of paints that really show off how unique they are. I also love that they have colors that big brands don’t make, such as Zirconium Cerulean Blue and Natural Indigo. Also their Lapis Lazuli is the best I’ve tried so far.
