a list of favorite handmade paints:
Rivervale Watercolors on Etsy ~ i especially love Phantom Fire & her ruby red & pyrrole red {id also like to try rose gold!}
Colors of the Iron Range ~ they are a new to me shop & i love them! especially Thulite, Porphyry Violet & Pink Pipestone! {i also got their Buff Titanium which is so pretty in mixes}
Beam Paints ~ what a special shop! she doesn't use plastic & there are so many colors & inks id love to try. I got the Slate, gold & morning peach.
Wallace Seymour ~ i feel like their paints are very special but maybe more of an artist quality, i.e.. i wouldn't have gotten them when i first started painting but 6 or 7 years into painting, feel that adding them to paintings could be a real treasure.. . they can also be hard to handle as some of mine were separated, but a friendly comment reminded me that this goes to show the quality of the pigment & you can use gum arabic & vegetable glycerin to rewet them if needed.. . i especially love Shimmer Iron Glimmer, Cinabrese & Rubies
Nibs, Pens & Ink ~ such gorgeous sparkling colors!
Shops i haven't tried {but want to} or paints are not always in stock but are very beautiful are ~
TCW Paints {i really love fools gold & beige champagne}
The Arts Spirits
Stone Ground Paints
& some youtube videos that have been inspiring me lately.. .
