Mulberry Leaf Green Watercolor Paint

Description

Mulberry Leaf 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 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.

Mulberry Leaf Green is a gentle, plant based watercolor pigment created from the leaves of the mulberry tree (Morus alba), traditionally associated with silk production and ancient textile dyes. This natural, organic green produces a soft, muted chartreuse to olive hue with subtle undertones, perfect for capturing the living character of botanical subjects, verdant landscapes, and natural light. Our Mulberry Leaf Green is crafted using a traditional lake pigment method, extracting color from fresh leaves and fixing it to a copper base. With its delicate transparency and ethereal glow, this rare pigment is ideal for glazing, layering, and expressive washes. A true gem for artists seeking sustainable, plant based pigments with ecological resonance.
