Artemis Powdered Pigments may be used with water, but are also intended to be mixed with a binding agent, such as the Artemis Wax & Resin Emulsion.  

Artemis uses purely natural materials, and these pigments offer a unique quality and tone.  The plant dyes are fluid substances extracted from color-yielding plants that have been precipitated with aluminium oxide. Typical watercolor techniques like transparent painting and layering let the colors of natural dyes appear especially bright and shiny.  Natural dyes also increase one's awareness of color harmony. Depending on the harvest, climate and other environmental influences, subtle differences in color may occur.

Once the pigment is mixed, the paint will last for a long time provided it is kept germ-free. Store it in a small glass container with lid, in a cool, dark place.  Paint that has dried can easily be reconstituted by adding a little water.

Available in 10 ml and 50 ml jars.
