Description

Fustic Deep Yellow is our exquisitely hand crafted watercolor paint made with an extremely concentrated, high quality single source pigment. Every pan is meticulously hand mulled, filled, and labeled, using pure local honey, natural gum arabic, and a small amount of food grade sodium benzoate preservative to achieve a concentrated and richly textured pigment. Every paint is single pigment with maximum concentration and no fillers or extenders.

Fustic Deep Yellow is a warm, golden yellow plant based pigment made from the heartwood of Maclura tinctoria, also known as old fustic. Used extensively in traditional dyeing across Europe and the Americas since the 16th century, this pigment produces a rich, earthy yellow with excellent transparency and a soft, even flow. Ideal for botanical illustration, natural palettes, and historical work, Fustic Deep Yellow brings depth, warmth, and a long standing heritage of plant derived color to your watercolor practice.
