Art Spectrum Watercolor Paints

Country: Australia ๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ‡บ
Number of watercolors: 67 colors
Number of single pigment colors: 40 colors
Honey or not honey?: No
Vegan or not?: they donโ€™t contain honey and they use synthetic ox gall. However, could not find anywhere on their website & materials that categorically state that they are vegan. Itโ€™s likely to be vegan but itโ€™s hard to stay for sure. If you find any official resources that states either way, please get in touch!

Information from website: “In accordance with proven traditional methods of production, all Art Spectrumยฎย Artistsโ€™ Watercolours are carefully stone milled to enhance the individual brilliance of each selected permanent pigment and to maximise its handling qualities. Successful watercolours depend on selecting the best quality paper, the permanence and brilliance of the pigments and the use of a wide variety of quality brushes.”
