Forest Green

$34.90 NZD

Forest Green pigment is a beautiful jewel-like intense green. It makes us think of the 12th Century mystic and artist, Hildegard of Bingen, and her idea of viriditas, 'the greening power of nature'.  Forest Green is a pleasure to use and a little goes a long way.

INSPIRATION IS AGELESS

Working with pigments to create our own paints brings us in even closer relationship with the artistic vision we are creating. My natural earth pigments range are beautiful natural, untouched ochres, and deliciously calcinated ones from ancient quarries in France, Italy and Cyprus. They will bring your creative ideas to light.

F.A.Q.

WHERE DO YOU SOURCE YOUR PIGMENTS?

I collaborate with partners in Europe in order to source natural pigments from traditional quarries in France, Italy and Cyprus and modern synthetic pigments that recreate the colours used in the renaissance and beyond, but without the toxicity!
DO YOU HAVE ANY EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES ON HOW TO USE PIGMENTS?

I will be adding helpful videos and content to the wesbite in due course. Workshops will also be scheduled (sign up to our newsletter to receive information on them).
WHAT CAN YOU USE PIGMENTS FOR?

Pigments are a beautiful way to paint. They can be used with traditional egg tempera (just like Botticelli!). You can use binders to make your own watercolour and milk paints. I also use them when making gesso. You can add mediums to make your own oil colours.
