A soothing collection of natural pigments found all around the place we all call home, Mother Earth! With pigments derived everywhere from the Blue Ridge Mountains to the Luberon region of France, this palette is a tour of our planet's rich mines of color.

This set comes in our CfM Small Palette, which we love for its handy mixing wells and easy-to-clean design. Our premade sets also include a swatch card letterpress printed by our friends at Aesthetic Union—what better way to get to know your new colors than a meditative swatching session?!

All of our watercolors are handmade in our shop using the highest quality earth and synthetic pigments, plus natural watercolor binding medium made from gum arabic (sap from acacia trees), honey, glycerine, distilled water, and a dash of clove oil for freshness!

Some of our premade sets and custom blends contain colors which are not lightfast. Fading can be reduced by coating finished pieces in a UV protective varnish and/or keeping them out of direct sunlight. You can view a list of non-lightfast colors here.

All of our watercolors conform to ASTM D-4236.
