Grain
Look at the mineral particles and the surface they leave behind.
IRUMBER / CREATIVE NOTES
A small study. Your own expression.
Observe the grain, compare layers and explore traditional outlines. A small painting study is a place to begin.
03 / GRAIN & LAYERS
Look closer. There is more to color.
Observe the mineral grain, let a wash dry and add another. Explore the expression that water, paper and your own hand create together.
Layers
Let the first wash dry, then add another to compare the depth.
Your expression
Change the paper and the amount of water to find your own expression.
06 / BEYOND THE PALETTE
From a box of color to a painting of your own.
Begin with the basic set. Coloring kits and a premium line inspired by traditional imagery are being planned as the next chapter.
The basic set
Six mineral watercolors, dedicated pans and a magnetic tin case.
Coloring kits
Birds and flowers, plants and insects, and peonies: approachable traditional motifs for a first finished painting.
A premium line
A limited line exploring the detail of traditional Buddhist iconography, including the forty-two-hand motif.
Kit contents and launch dates will be announced once confirmed. Use of traditional imagery is subject to rights and approval review.
A PAGE FROM YOUR COLOR JOURNAL
A palette of little discoveries.
Try a new combination, leave a small color note and come back to it after drying. Your color journal can begin with a single page.
A COLOR STUDY TO TRY
Three washes, one color.
Draw three small squares on watercolor paper and paint them once. Let them dry. Add a second wash to two squares and a third wash to the last. Compare the surface and the depth of color.
