Description
Pockets full of little flat pebbles from the river, an acorn found by the swings, buttons given by grandma, a bicycle for mice made from wire and some more buttons, glass beads, bottle tree fruit skin as a small basket for some of these treasures… And a palette of our watercolors. Maybe the tin is the most valuable thing at the moment… And we are heading through a long grass field to Merry go round. It’s a taste of unforgettable childhood memories. Sometimes those memories never happened. They are still there in our hearts.
The palette of 20 half pans curated by our DeepDeepLight kids – Rūta, Gerda, and Sonya. And little Albert’s palette – we love to think he permitted us to create one for the world as he is so tiny. Who knows, maybe at some point one of them will take over what we are doing… Their color knowledge is much wider than one could expect and yes, they name colors by DeepDeepLight names – “What’s the name of that flower in Gerda’s pink color?” or “Can I have that ice cream, no, not royal yellow, what is that in cowslip yellow?”.

Mixes nicely with other natural and human-made pigments. For best performance add a few drops of water some minutes before starting to work with it. It will reactivate the pigment and will be more fluid.
All our watercolors are handmade from pigment or pigment mixes, binders, and essential oils as conservative. The binder is made by ourselves from gum arabic, natural honey or glycerine, and water. Our watercolors have a flowery scent, with lemongrass as the top note and sandalwood as the base note
