Description

Logwood Lake 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 all natural gum arabic to achieve an exceptionally concentrated and richly textured pigment. Every paint is single pigment with maximum concentration and no binders, fillers, or extenders.


Logwood Lake is a deep, rich purple derived from the genuine extraction of natural dye from logwood heartwood, a time-honored pigment steeped in historic tradition. This captivating color delivers a beautifully saturated, gem tone with a naturally organic character. Its slight transparency and delicate granulating properties make it ideal for glazing, layering, and creating mood-rich, dramatic effects.
