Description

Pomegranate 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.

Pomegranate Yellow Lake is a soft, warm yellow watercolor made from the tannin rich rind of the pomegranate fruit (Punica granatum), a dye source long used in traditional textiles, manuscript painting, and Ayurvedic art. When extracted and laked with alum, the pomegranate rind yields a golden, slightly olive toned yellow with gentle transparency and an earthy, luminous glow.

Our Pomegranate Yellow Lake is handmade using historical dye techniques, creating a botanical pigment ideal for florals, antique style illumination, botanical illustration, and warm natural palettes. It mixes beautifully with madder, indigo, and weld for authentic, historically informed color blending. As a natural lake pigment, it's delicate and best suited for archival works or portfolios.
