Handmade Slow Art
Artisanal watercolors and sketchbooks for artists. All prices are listed in USD.
Why choose Us?
Our watercolors are made with the best pigments available,which are sourced from reliable distributors and manufacturers around the globe. The paints contain no fillers and are made of pure pigments and binder. The binder is made of gum rabic, acacia honey, a touch of plant based glycerin, clove oil and distilled water. Following the traditional method, the pigment is mulled on a glass slab with glass muller for an hour or more to give you the best quality paint with smoothest consistency.
Handmade paints are inherently different from the machine produced professional watercolors and you might find some inconsistencies like cracks and bubbles in your pans. These do not affect the quality of the paint at all. Each pigment dries according to its own individual characteristics. We try to minimize the cracking without affecting the handling properties of the paint. Each pan is filled in multiple layers and each layer is given adequate amount of time to dry in between. As a result, the pans are packed with pigment to the brim and will give you bang for your bucks!!
I received my package yesterday and I would first like to thank you for the gifts you sent. I love the tiny sketchbooks, and the candies are my favorite! Also, the packaging was beautiful, I even felt like recording the unboxing of it of how beautiful it was.I really appreciate the effort and love you put into every order, that's one of the reasons I love ordering from you.As for the product itself, the quality is as good as always. This paper is amazing for water control, and I cannot get a similar quality for the price in my country.Thanks again!
Wonderful experience! Trupti handled my order with kind personal care. I was thrilled with everything, including a sweet surprise gift. 🥰The paints are beautiful. 🎨They’re so creamy when rewet and highly pigmented, a joy to use. I’ll keep my eye on the website and socials, to catch any new releases!🎨💪🏼Karla F. from Oregon, USA
This is a lush color which I love, but that is really true of most all your paints, They are strongly pigmented and truly beautiful to use, So smooth and with lovely transparency for building wonderful layers. I love using them! Thank you so much. I also love the samples you send. There’s nothing like using a real sample to get the feel of a new color and how it blends and merges with others. I so appreciate your company.
