Kaolin

Description
Kaolin 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 only pure local honey and a small amount of all natural, pure gum arabic to achieve an exceptionally concentrated and richly textured pigment.

Kaolin is a refined, delicate off-white hue crafted from high-quality kaolin clay, a naturally occurring mineral revered for its subtle, matte quality. This timeless pigment, reminiscent of fine porcelain and classical artworks, delivers a soft, naturally muted tone with gentle texture and smooth handling. Its versatility makes it ideal for subtle washes, delicate highlights, and creating refined, nuanced compositions that exude understated elegance.
